Today, I shared a quote from St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) that may help us during this Advent season. I, also, provide a little commentary on that quote to help us tap the depth of the Spirit our sister in Carmel is trying to take us into during our pilgrimage.

November is a month when the Church calls us to think about death. One of the practices during this month is praying for the dead. From the practice many conversations around the topic of purgatory arise. The term purgatory has in it the term and idea of purification. Today, I speak about that concept of purification and some good ways to think about it.

One of the things I incorporated in my life from my amputation is the use of aromatic candles. I use these smells to help my emotional self. Using these smells over the past few months has been a great learning experience for me. I speak about some of the things I’ve learned from while using these candles. Smell is a gift from God we are called to cultivate and appreciate.

Part of my physical therapy was learning about different muscle groups that I will need to work on to maintain a better quality of life. As I ponder over those physical demands my mind has gone to the need that we all have to know ourselves. One of the great things about growing in self-knowledge is the ability to appreciate the artist that has created us, God. These are just a few things I speak about today.

My province has begun our year of vocations. The episode today is about that topic of vocation. My thoughts come at the request of a listener who reached out to me via my social media account. We all play a role in helping people to hear the presence of God, may we continue to be a source of support for those discerning vocations in the Church.

Christ is our healer. Christ as our healer is the theme for this episode today. The foundation for this reflection comes from the Gospel reading we heard at the Mass this past weekend (28th Sunday in Ordinary time Year C). We are all broken and in need of healing. Fortunately, for us the hands of our king are healing hands.

Recently, we heard at the Mass the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. The reflection I offer today is about the lack of a name for the rich man. What does his lacking a name mean? Names have a power that we must not overlook. Know that I will be praying for you.
