Lord God, you have given us the great day of rejoicing: Jesus Christ, the stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone of the Church, our spiritual home. Shed upon our Church the rays of your glory, that it may be seen as the gate of salvation open to all nations. Let cries of joy and exultation ring out from its tents, to celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection.

Good morning, I hope everyone is being safe and staying inside for the most part. I realize how hard it is to stay inside the whole time. We do need to get grocery’s and prescriptions. For me, this has been a bit trying. I am not allowed to go to the seniors home and do my volunteering. My volunteering has now been writing letters and making cards for the residents. I would rather this, than getting them ill. For Hospice Huronia, I am talking to my clients either by facetime or by phone. So this is all new for us…

Good afternoon, here is a posting from 680 news regarding weddings and funerals in Ontario. https://www.680news.com/2020/03/17/coronavirus-weddings-funerals-in-ontario-with-more-than-50-people-banned/ I understand that this is so extraordinary times we are living in. I feel for anyone going through this. My church has had to cancel several special services. I am here for anyone who needs someone to talk to. Grief is hard enough to go through but to somehow have to cancel a funeral because of having more than 50 people is heartbreaking. If you are in the Midland, Ontario area and you have no one to do a funeral for your loved one.…

Ask, Seek, Knock “Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who ask will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give…

Some of you may have heard the term Death Café and wondered what it was. To be honest the first time I heard it, I immediately thought you grieve and sit around and hear sad things. I went to my first Death Café in the later part of 2019. It was a wet, cold windy night. We met at a local coffee shop that I had been dying (pardon the pun) to try. This was sponsored by Hospice Huronia up here. They are in Penetanguishene but service the area. So most of us admitted to being curious as to what…

Good evening I am starting a hopefully a daily bible verse. I am starting off at whatever the I open up at the bible. Sometimes it works out great for me and even I need to hear that message. Today’s verse is from The Song of Solomon, verse 8 5:14 Homecoming 5. Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in labor with you, there she who bore you was in labor. 6. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon…

Today, February 2, 2020, is ground hog day and as every February 2nd, in Wiarton Ontario, they bring out Willie to see if he sees his shadow or not. Well today he didn’t see it and that means in ground hog land, an early spring. I have had the pleasure to see one of the many Wiarton Willies. We made a day trip to Wiarton to see him. I believe it was two summers ago and then shortly after we went there, they announced his passing but would be replaced with another heir to the throne. I honestly thought they…

Good afternoon, Today being Saturday January 25, 2020, this was my day to go to the Senior’s Residence to do their 10:30 workout. I carefully and I mean carefully came out the house to go. Walking with my yak traks on my shoes because it had been raining all night and made the snow icy. Mike followed me out to the car because I am the most klutsy person ever to walk. I take after my mother in that way. However if she was still here, she would disagree. Even my friends would disagree, after all they have seen me…

January 19, 2020 I have to admit that I am pretty lucky and blessed. I have been able to follow my hearts desire by finally becoming a Deacon within a church. As you know I was ordained a Deacon into the Community Catholic Church of Canada on June 9, 2019. My husband Mike and my friend and fellow Deacon, Rev. Shari (she is now a Priest) were my sponsors. It is funny as Mike is not religious at all. To be honest I was surprised that he came with me. I wasn’t really expecting but so happy that he did.…
