In the Acts of the Apostles, we see Our Lord’s followers traveling from town to town, evangelizing and leading converts to receive the Holy Spirit. What does that mean? How can you receive the Holy Spirit in your daily life? Here’s a quick, simple way to do just that. Find out about Life Coaching with me at MargeFenelon.com. You’ll find my books, blog, and other podcasts there, too. Enjoy!
Grace does not erase who we are; it perfects and elevates what God has already placed within us. As the Catechism teaches, “Grace builds on nature” (CCC 2005). Strengths are part of that nature, and when we understand them, we can cooperate with grace more freely. Instead of trying to imitate someone else’s path to holiness, we can cultivate virtue in the way God designed us to flourish.
The American Flag is a symbol of our heritage. Not a perfect heritage, and not a simple one, but a real one.
Mary reminds us that holiness is possible in ordinary life. Her humility counters our culture's obsession with self-promotion, her trust challenges our need for control, and her tenderness softens the edges of our hurried hearts.
