Hello Dennis We do not normally publish the Daily Devotionals in note form but let me talk to the staff and I will see what they might be able to do. If enough people wanted them I am sure we could do something. While sometimes I might have notes most of the time I do not but prepare, pray and then deliver. Please God inspired by the Holy Spirit. So the team would have to put them in written form. Each takes 3 to 4 hours to do before it goes to editing. While I do the Daily Devotionals every… Read more »
Hi Dennis. I am a note taker. I will pause the video to go back to some points I want to capture. I will reverse the video or fast forward it as well. It can be done with practice. Blessings!

One of the ways that helps me discern right from wrong is to try to follow what st Ignatius called the good spirit. The good spirit leads us towards hope trust in God greater love forgiveness and kindness. The bad or negative spirit will tend to shut us off from God and lead us into more negative territory. Often my emotions will guide me. I feel God working through my joy gratitude or alternatively my anger or irritation. These might be a sign I’m heading away from God. My emotions can help me move towards greater love (the good spirit)… Read more »

Thank you Bruce for your thought provoking words. You inspire me to think deeply about the words in Paul’s writing to to the Colossians. Blessings 🙏🏻 Susan 😊
I totally agree. I am learning to accept who I am, but at the same time hear and respond to God’s will better than I used to. Growing closer to Him day by day. Thank you Bruce and team for this amazing ministry.

Thank you Bruce, for this very clear and enlightening explanation of conscience and how we can grow closer to God by tuning in and allowing God’s love, wisdom and ways to guide us. I’m so happy and inspired, that I’m going to save it and watch it again now and later. God Bless, and thanks again!!

Funny thing: I was sitting here this morning looking for direction from God. And here you indicate the answer: that God leads me through my conscience! The secret then is to trust that I am hearing from God and listen through what He says through His word and the conscience He gives me. It is a step by step walk of faith! Thank you.
Funnier thing…. 40 years ago as a young married woman with 6 children…this was during Lent a Priest who was visiting came and sat down on a bench with me.. He was very warm and friendly! Asked me how I was doing…I said fine… then I blurted out… I think I hear from God and he was not surprised and said … And??? I said but what if I am wrong!!! He said it will always back up what’s in the Bible! And from then on, I wasn’t concerned! Now that was a Lent I will never forget! Bruce does… Read more »

I get so much out of these daily devotions and often go back to hear them again. I share them with others I think would get something out of them. They are how I begin each day. I wish you did them all year. I’ll miss them when Lent is over. God bless your work, Bruce, and thank you! God bless you!
Good Morning Penney, Bruce does these devotionals all year. Keep watching after lent is over and you will continue to get a lot of help in growing closer to our Lord.
Thank you for answering this question from Penney. You can come and work for me and the ministry. I was just sitting here preparing the next series and saw your comment come up on my phone.
Hi Penney, concerning the current Lent Daily Devotionals now that we have set a foundation for them, I think that they will become far more spiritually impactful as the Holy Spirit moves in peoples hearts in these next few weeks as we approach Holy Week and Easter.
I totally agree. I thank God for having me steered to Bruce and his ministry. Listening to his daily devotions my heart is warmed and my mind is filled with blessings. Your guidance on living through our conscience was so wonderful. God bless you Bruce and I pray for you and your ministry team.
I also try to listen to these daily devotions first thing in the morning. And, I am new here. I am so grateful that these will continue all year. They are so powerful and give such amazing practical help in our spiritual journey, Thank you.

Thanks Bruce and rosemary for these lovely bible studies, I really am learning a lot. When I was young about 14 or 16 years old I used to go to bible studies. I was the youngest there but attended every week. I was to young to understand all this. Know I see and hear clearly everything.

Oh what powerful, encouraging and challenging verses from Colossians. They bring to mind the scriptures in today’s reading in Daniel. Endurance, patience and hope with joy. Thank you Brother for recalling these scriptures. I needed this.

Conscience… always driven by right and wrong. You made me look deeper, beyond. So very important. Wish I’d looked at it as God speaking to me, giving me direction much sooner. TY for sharing you knowledge of the Lord.

For a few years now, I have been trying to get closer to God. I feel so unworthy to be with him but the more I know him, the closer I seem to be to him. With your sessions each day, I grow in my understanding of who He is and how he works in my life. I am so happy to be where I am now.

I have joy in my heart, when you have complete faith in our heavenly father all you asked for comes to pass, I pray for more faith and be strong in the Lord, I will continue to seek his face, wisdom and knowledge all the days of my life. All thanks to Bruce and his wonderful wife for bringing me closer to God, I can now do my daily devotion and say my rosary and am now happy. Thank you and God bless

Dear Bruce, You are still very much a part of my life helping me grow in knowledge about God. I have also been back physically to Church at a very cozy, friendly, Catholic church. I am still searching what God wants me to do with my retirement. I believe that He has healed me from my brain fog following 2 falls when I went to a healing mass 2 weeks ago. It’s like my brain is thinking clearer now and my memory and focus is back to normal. Thank you for your prayers and good works. Joyce M
