Apropos your encouragement for us to set aside 15 minutes each day specifically for prayer, this morning, in a daily devotional that I have had for many years – and so have read repeatedly – a passage truly struck a chord. After referring to what we’d probably call “dry” prayer times, it continues: “… and your task, to grow daily more and more into the knowledge of Me. That, this quiet time will enable you to do. ….. Only friends who understand and love each other can wait silent in each other’s presence”.

God is the best doctor prayer is the best medicine . AMEN
The mail you read out this morning from a lady who wished you had been around when she was younger, reflects my sentiments entirely. I am now just going on 74 and have learnt so much from you that could have made me a far better person faith wise if some of the priests, (and I have know many over the years), would have concentrated more on the importance of a relationship with God than on the rules of the church. God bless you and your team.
Never too late, Abraham was 75!!! Go for it!!! He saves the best for last!!!🎉. Bring others to know “The Promise” the Holy Spirit waiting to come alive in all who are Baptized!

Please pray for my daughter and son-in-law with Covid, and to protect their 1 year old. Please pray for my other daughter, spent the night in the ER, undiagnosed stomach pain, possibly appendicitis. Please pray for us to find the financial means to help her. Please pray for my husband who isn’t well but won’t see a doctor. Please pray for my son that gives willingly and please pray for me to cope with all the anxiety and stress. Thank you
Such quietness and calm comes over me with your daily devotion. Thank you. Asking for wellness and for the love of God to direct our lives. For safety for family and friends. Amen

I love the letter from the 80+ yr old woman, those are my sentiments exactly, she was able to communicate my feelings in a way that I’m not. While I’m grateful for all the teachers, nuns and priests and what they taught us, I wish they would have taught us more history of the bible and the Holy Spirit, not as familiar with it as my non Catholic friends. I took your advice and read a passage everyday, not sure I understand it better, but love that I’m in the habit of doing it everyday. I appreciate you and your… Read more »

Thank you for reading out that letter Bruce. I fully endorse every word that lady wrote. I have prayed for years for the gift of “wisdom”. I think it arrived during lockdown, when I found more time to pray and follow “The Catholic Guy “. Rosemary is a wonderful Christmas bonus. Thank you both

Thank you for reading the letter from the 80 year old woman. It really touched me. I also wish we would have head more about a forgiving and loving God. As a young mother and wife I was always busy doing for others. Now I take the time for myself in prayer and listening to you every morning. I am so sorry I didn’t take more time telling my children about Jesus. Yes we went to church but I didn’t have the feeling than as I do today at Mass. I’ve made mistakes against my children after my husband died… Read more »
