When Mom is Sick ...
Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Monday, January 11, 2010
If you follow Danielle Bean on facebook and twitter (like I do), you would know that she was feeling under the weather last week. I called Danielle the other night to ask how she was feeling. As we chatted I recalled the times growing up when my mom was sick.
Everything seemed to fall apart when mom was sick. Even as a kid I recognized that things weren’t quite right without mom. “What do you mean... READ MORE
'Be Opened'
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Sunday, September 06, 2009
And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Eph’phatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
—Mark 7:32-35
Open ours ears too Lord. Help us hear Your voice.
Sacrifice and Healing

At Mass on Sunday I see one of my college classmates with his wife. They’ve been married just two weeks.
He holds the door for her and shepherds her into the pew as if he were guarding something precious and valuable. Their visible love is touching.
I don’t see any other newlyweds at Mass. But as I pray and look up at the huge crucifix that stands over our sanctuary, it occurs to me to look for... READ MORE
Overcome With Amazement

And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Tal’itha cu’mi”; which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up and walked ... and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
—Mark 5:39-42
Jesus, heal us too. Wake our sleeping hearts and prepare us to do Your work while we are alive.
Your Sins Are Forgiven

And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “My son, your sins are forgiven.”
—Mark 2:3-5
Lord, we need Your healing. Help us to use whatever means necessary to attain it.
Make Me Clean

And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
—Mark 1:40-42
Heal us too, Lord. Make us clean.
All Who Were Sick

That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered together about the door. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
—Mark 1:32-34
Jesus, remind us to look to You when we are hurting, when we are angry, when we are sick with grief. Give us the peace and healing that can only come from You.
Signs of Life
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Saturday, January 24, 2009
Striking at this year’s March for Life was the prevalence of signs emphasizing healing and forgiveness.
That’s always been a big part of the March, but the signs were everywhere this year.
“Healing after abortion” signs, with a number for Project Rachel.
The women of Silent No More with their “I regret my abortion” placards.
An astonishing number of people who march for life are folks who regret their... READ MORE
