One morning as I was sitting in the front pew of the church during morning mass, I was really in a hurry to get to work. So, after the readings, Fr David was walking up to the podium to read the gospel and deliver a homily I thought to myself: I want Fr David to read the gospel, speak three sentences, close the book and then sit down. So Fr David reads the gospel, says three sentences closes the book and then sits down.

Yesterday I lost a gas card I got as a gift. I wanted to give it to my pastor but I could not find it anywhere. I loved everywhere I could have put it. But nothing. I went to bed and I thought about Jesus hanging on the cross and I said: "My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me?" I got up out of bed and the voice inside me said: "Look in that tote bag hanging by the doorknob." I looked inside it and there was the gas card.

The Passion Play

I went to the Passion Play at Oberammergau, Germany Sept. 2010 with a pilgrimage group. The Play was so moving that when Jesus was being arrested I thought, why are they doing that, he has not done anything. Then the voice inside me said: "That's the whole point!" When they were nailing him to the cross, I lost it all and I place my raincoat over my head and started sobbing and could not stop. Very emotional.
