"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. " 1 Cor 10:13

The Blind Leading the Blind

How can we teach others and expect them to follow if we don't follow the rules ourselves?

I was lost, but now am found

So how's the whole Lent thing working out for you? Keeping all those Lenten resolutions? Yeah, same here. Out of four, I've kept one and a half. No excuses, I'm just a slug. But why should Lenten resolutions be any different than anything else in my life - half done? Maybe it's just the old …

Getting Older

Ok, before you say anything, I know I didn't post yesterday but I was just exhausted, I pretty much spend 10 hours a day staring at a computer screen, and frankly, when I get home I don't always feel like looking at another one, In addition, I had to do some work of the parish …

Forgive us our trespasses

On March 8, 2022 By Paul RoyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Forgiveness. That can be a tall order for some of us. Some of us can hold onto grudges for a long, long, time. What we read in today's gospel is that if we don't forgive, then God won't forgive us our sins. When I think about some of the grudges I held I realize how …

Are you ready

On March 7, 2022 By Paul RoyIn Faith, lent, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I mentioned in my last post how I have kind of drifted away from the faith in the last two years. Although I didn't lose my faith, I just stopped attending Mass, reading scripture, and praying like I should. So for today's post, I thought I would take a little time to explain what happened. …

Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble

On March 6, 2022 By Paul RoyIn lent, prayer, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Today's title is brought to us by today's responsorial Psalm. But you knew that already since you have all been to Mass. It fits nicely with the Gospel reading, about Jesus spending 40 days in the desert and being tempted by Satan. This is one of those verses that lends itself nicely to a short …

Forty Days, Forty Posts

On March 5, 2022 By Paul RoyIn lent, Reflections, Uncategorized1 Comment

Here we are in another Lenten season. For the last two years, I have not written much of anything, I have stopped attending Mass and I have almost (not quite) gone back to my pre-reversion ways. With everything that is going on in the world I have come to the realization that I better get …

I’m not ready yet

On September 19, 2020 By Paul RoyIn Reflections, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I know we don't know the day or the hour but I can't help thinking the end of the world isn't to far away. All one needs to do is look around to see the signs that are talked about throughout scripture. And I am scared. “But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be …

What’s Done in the Dark

On August 4, 2020August 7, 2020 By Paul RoyIn Current Affairs, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have to admit I’m pretty tired of this whole coronavirus thing. I don’t like being told where and when I can go places, which direction to go down the aisle at the grocery store, and where I need to sit at Mass. I am so over this. His slaves said to him, ‘Do you …

Listen to the Small Voice

On June 14, 2020 By Paul RoyIn Biblical Commentary, Current Affairs, Faith, Reflections, UncategorizedLeave a comment

As if God hasn’t given us enough to deal with by letting this corona virus pandemic continue, now He has to throw in this whole racial unrest thing in the middle of it. Riots, looting, arson, attacks against police officers are becoming all to commonplace. And yes, I have to wonder if this is just …
