Just this past week, I got a chance to go to the WWII museum in New Orleans, LA. The museum does a very good job of telling the story of the war, as well as documenting the pain and suffering of those involved. This war has left such a huge mark on the history of […] The post How the Lack of Love Leads Us to War appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

Although we may travel far in this world, we should never forget where we came from. Through the help of our parents, God created each of us and gave us not only a physical body, but an everlasting soul. Jesus grants us forgiveness of sins through baptism and reconciliation and allows us tap into the […] The post Remain in Me, as I Remain in You appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

God created the Heavens and the Earth, the plants and the animals, all of the angels, and caused everything in the entire universe to come to existence. However, out of all of creation, only humanity was blessed to be made in the image of God.

When Jesus appeared to His disciples, they were frightened and thought He was a ghost. Jesus had to jump through hoops to prove that He was actually there in body and soul.

I’ve noticed that as I get older, I’m not able to do the same things that I did when I was in my prime. My mind still thinks of myself as […] The post The Spirit is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

The world gives us so many possibilities of things to do and so many opportunities to do them. From a young age, we are taught to pursue our dreams, get a good job, make a lot of money, and live life to the fullest. We come up with a plan for what we want to […] The post Unless a Grain of Wheat Shall Fall appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

We sometimes feel like we are in the dark and have a hard time discerning what to do or where to go in life. There are so many choices available to us and we can easily get overwhelmed. We can even have a tough time deciding on what is right and wrong and good or […] The post Come to the Light appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

An often used excuse that people give when they do something bad is that it’s just human nature. We all have desires that we seek. Some of these desires could be the desire for food, safety, social contact, acceptance, curiosity, and tranquility. It’s perfectly normal to have desires, but we shouldn’t imply that we are […] The post Human Nature appeared first on One Little Light of Mine ..read more

It’s interesting to imagine what Peter, James, and John really thought when they saw Jesus’s transfiguration. They also saw Elijah and Moses appear and start talking with Jesus as well. The Gospel just says that they were terrified and didn’t know what to say. We too have experienced many awe inspiring moments in life.
