Making the Right Choices: Lessons from Jesus

On January 22, 2025 By Paul RoyIn Catholicism, Life Lessons, Seven Deadly Sins, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I finished my last post with a passage from the book of James about how God does not tempt us to see if we will resist. Even Satan cannot force us to sin. We have a choice. We decide what choice we will make. What’s the best way to make the right choice? The answer …

Why We Need More Fathers Like Joseph Today

On November 9, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Faith, Pro-Life, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I've been thinking about Joseph lately. Joseph is the husband of Mary and the stepfather of Jesus, who never speaks a word anywhere in Scripture. We don't know much about him except that "he was a righteous man." We could also use more like him in our world today. Matthew 1:18-25, talks about how the …

When you have a decision to make do you what’s best for you or for others? Which choice do you think will best get you to heaven? Throughout the gospels Jesus tells us what we need to do to get to heaven. We need to love God and love each other. He also tells us …

Let the Light Shine

On October 3, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

One of the many things I have struggled with is how can I prove the change God has made in my life. Is there a way to measure it? In a world where everyone wants to see the numbers what numbers are there? I know what He has done for me and my life but …

God or the Government you Decide

On September 30, 2024September 30, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Current Affairs, Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Over the years I have written about how various scripture passages have made a difference in my life. Matthew 6:34 is one of those. It was in reading this passage (along with others) that I realized that I had to trust in God and live one day at a time. Only He knows what will …

Ask and it Will be Given

On September 22, 2024 By Paul RoyIn answered prayers, UncategorizedLeave a comment

It’s happened again. God has shown me that He hears our prayers and He answers them. It may take time but He answers them. For the last few months I’ve really stepped up my game as far as praying every day, listening to reflections and doing spiritual reading again. As you may have noticed I …

Take Up Your Cross

On September 19, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Faith, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Most of us are pretty spoiled. Almost everything we do benefits only us. How will this action benefit me? Will it help me get a better job? Will it help me make more money so I can get more “stuff”? In today’s Gospel reading, MK 8:34-35, Jesus tells us we must take up our cross …

Have Mercy on Me

On September 14, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Faith, Life Lessons, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Have you ever been reading scripture and wondered exactly what is being said? For example, when Jesus tells us to pluck out our right eye if it causes us to sin does he really mean we are to do that? Not only does he say to pluck out our eye but also cut off our …

What Can I Do

On September 7, 2024 By Paul RoyIn Faith, Uncategorized, WisdomLeave a comment

Let me continue with the theme of my last post. When I first started reading the Bible I would randomly open it and read whatever was written on the page. I believed then and I believe now this was how Jesus, through the Holy Spirit talked to me. When I was pondering something of a …
