Dear Bruce, You are correct in not wanting/needing to watch certain ads etc. on your television. Many years ago a priest who always visited my parents for meals & sometimes for evening prayers when he didn’t want to be alone said, ‘Be careful of who or what you invite into your lounge room’ – meaning the tv – this was after a discussion about tv commercials & programs.. today that discussion would have included social media & our use of all our devices.. Thank you for your Daily Devotionals Bruce. Maria 🙏
Hi Bruce, Still processing the Phoenix message after two listens. NH continues to pray and discern. A quote from Bishop Robert Barron’s meditation today—“the church has taken its own dynamite and placed it hermetically sealed containers and sat on the lid”. Peter Maurin.

Spot on….if it’s not going to help me be a better person I need not to watch it, or hear it…how we spend our time and with whom we spend our time is very important to God who truly wants the best for each of us even those who don’t believe yet😉 I watch the local news and when certain people are on I know to shut my eyes or walk out of the room…especially the “Catholic individuals that are Prochoice😢may God have mercy.. something horrible is very wrong!

I listen to your daily devotional every night before I sleep. It truly blesses me with teachings of life. Especially getting to know about the Holy Spirit. I’m truly grateful and I share with my family and friends some of the teachings that resonate. God bless! Theresa

Thank you for your Daily Devotionals Bruce.

I so agree. I hardly watch tv. It makes “sick” and disturbed. Violated in your own home.
Jo
I agree.. 🙏for change!
Thank you Bruce. Helpful makes me think.

Thank you Bruce!
In the past few days, you’ve mentioned what Paul has written in the Book of Acts. I thought Luke wrote that book.
Hi Deb
You are correct Luke did write the Book of Acts. He is writing here about Paul talking with the Ephesian Elders as if Paul was speaking.
If you have a Bible with section headings you will this.
I hope this helpful.
God bless
Bruce
Thank you so much for the clarification. I look forward to your devotionals every day.
