Loss, Faith and the Journey Back

In this podcast I talk about a little book that changed my life and helped me develop faith strong enough to get through all the challenges in my life. The book is God Calling. Enjoy and God Bless!

Today I’m going to share the prayer that has changed my life. It’s an ancient prayer perfected by St. Ignatius of Loyola. It’s called the Examen Prayer, not to be confused with the Examination of Conscience. I hope you enjoy this and practice it! Here are some notes that I’d like to highlight:I mention Francis House of Prayer which you can find at www.FHOP.org.

On this episode I talk about what it’s like to raise 9 kids on my own after my wife’s death.

Happy Easter! In this episode, I share a little bit about Easter and when it ends officially because most people don’t know this. I also talk a little bit about Divine Mercy Sunday, which is the second Sunday of Easter and how that was instituted. And finally, I talk about a message I sent to my prayer list which I called the prayer warriors because we are truly in a spiritual battle. But the message was very clear and strong and something that I didn’t pre-meditate on and it just kind of came out so I feel like that God wanted me to or he wanted to send a message to them through me. So there you have it! Enjoy!

As we get closer to Christmas, it’s 8 days away, I’m reminded of a piece I wrote more than 35 years ago when I was a newspaper editor. I really felt like there was a message that needed to be said and when I went to publish it, the publisher turned it down because it would have been to controversial. Well thanks be to God for blogs and podcasts and the internet where we are free to publish what we want.

Let’s talk about that and why that shouldn’t be if we are children of a King…..God. (Disclaimer: The audio on this episode is noisy. I cleaned it up but the message is really good. I’ll be getting new mics soon.)
