    This is Jacqueline Loh from Grace that Reigns. Welcome to Episode 12 of Fall into the Light. This is the first of a two part series with my special guest, Bob Kelly.   A Story about Living Large, Cancer, Healing and a process of self discovery.   Bob lives life large. He has an awesome marriage to Annmarie, a big family, financial independence and many dreams ahead of him. He left home at seventeen years old and put himself through University, and by the time he was 25, he already had a PHD in English Literature. He joined Microsoft and what resulted from a two day internship, turned into a lifetime career that provided him with many more opportunities to achieve great success.... and yes, he took it by the horns. Bob describes himself as having an "A" type personality and those who know him, believe it. In 2019, he was feeling out of sorts, and decided to let it be. But by 2020, in February, he knew that something was not right. In August, Fr. Dominic Legge O.P asked me to help pray for his friend, Bob. Bob said, yes and that's when the Holy Spirit brought us together. Bob was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. This is Bob's sharing of his 10 days or so previous to his operation, how providence worked in his life, his subsequent healing, and involvement with a prayer intercessor whom he didn't even know, and the lessons he learned as a result of releasing control. Allow his sharing to inspire you as it did us.

    In Divorce, there is strength and healing through the gift of forgiveness.   Welcome to part 2 of Rosanna Thill's sharing on forgiveness.  Last month, we listened to Rosanna's story of her divorce, and the almost palpable effects it had on her life, trying to protect two young children: twin boys, and on the dream that so many young girls, including herself had for a beautiful marriage and family life. 15 years later, Rosanna is a fierce triathlon competitor, a creative and successful career professional with two grown up boys now. Her faith is as strong as ever, as she reflects back on those days.  In this podcast, Rosanna speaks about the Divine Mercy and how that became a lifesaver for her, and how her understanding of Jesus' mercy, through the writings of St. Faustina helped to heal her life and give her the strength to forgive.  Rosanna concludes by saying, "forgiveness, even 15 years later is still an ongoing process. But when you make that choice, each and every day, it is worth it." If you or anyone you know who has been shaken by divorce, we invite you to listen to Rosanna Thill's courageous sharing as she bravely and graciously invites you into her heart.

Our mission is to help Renew Your Sense of Wonder for God’s love for you, through the charisms of healing and of words. An estimated 20.4% (50.0 million) of U.S. adults live with chronic pain. What do you do when you find yourself in a season of life like that—a season of pain with no end in sight? God in His kindness has given us three expressions of His grace for us to face and deal with chronic pain. They are prayer, promises, ( His grace will sustain you ) and his people. ( fellow intercessors from church. ) Henry Kota is not new to the concept of pain. He grew up walking shoulder to shoulder with adversity, he has suffered from many varying afflictions such as his ongoing sobriety, a brain tumour that nearly killed him, and his painful neuralgia that brought him to his knees. The neuralgia led him to seek intercession and that is where we met him and his daughter, Rosanna in Phoenix, Arizona. Henry receives a gift from the Lord. A gift of healing from his neuralgia that frees him from the heavy pain medication that he has taken. But this story does not end. Henry speaks about suffering in a way that gives us real hope. Through his experience of suffering, Henry offers us more than a glimpse of his strong faith and love for Jesus. He reminds us that we are NOT alone.  Please enjoy this very powerful testimony.

    In this 3rd part of Bishop Gilmore's Advent reflection, Bishop continues speaking about the topic of Hope, by using an inspiring true to life story about a man named, Peguy who suffered greatly in his life, but clung on to his " little girl Hope."In Peguy’s poem, the Lord himself says: the dark is my favorite time; my first creation, the night. That plunged Peguy into the beginning of all mysteries, that of Creation itself.  The Hebrew people believed, and the Christian people after them, that God made the world ex nihilo, out of nothing … out of no previous existing material.  “In the beginning, the Book of Genesis says ‘darkness covered the abyss.”Out of darkness, there came " Hope " for Peguy. Out of darkness, there is Hope at the end of this Advent Season.

    Play Episode Listen Later May 18, 2020 25:41


    When Monday Comes: Jacqueline Loh - the founder of Grace that Reigns asks a question, "Why is the topic of sin so intimidating, when we all live it, and talk about it so much in our secular world?"The church sees sin as a serious topic and many people shy away from it because it is so uncomfortable. But the topic of Sin does not have to be an uncomfortable topic. It's something that we live each day.If you are a bar tender, a hairstylist, a manicurist, message therapist, a coach, a colleague, you might have already engaged in a kind of worldly conversation where your clients or partners have revealed his/her shortcomings. It's nothing short of confession. If we stop being afraid to enter into conversation about the topic of sin, we can learn to embrace them as mere signposts to our daily lives. Signposts that brings us back to doing good.Join Jacqueline as she tackles this subject through her own experience and through examples of real life sharings from people whom she's met throughout the years.Why are we posting another recording about Sin? Because we want to offer another perspective on the topic in order to help you to understand that Sin can also be a friend.Through the week, we will share podcasts of 4 major shortcomings or road blocks that keep us from progressing in our spiritual lives.

    This is Grace that Reigns: Our Podcast Channel is called, Renewing Your Wonder. As part of our Your at Home On-line Retreat, we continue to the forth week where we reflect on Sin. Sin is not an easy subject, but it is necessary for us to listen to sometimes because it is important to our understanding of how it can initiate our spiritual freedom.In this podcast, Bishop Ronald Gilmore reflects on the topic of Sin, what it is, how Adam and Eve's sin affects our lives today, and how our own sins can evidently get in the way of our lives and become barriers to our daily living. He uses his own examples of how sinful acts have a way of spearing the heart and continues on with the topic of confession. He does not leave us in the lurch, he explains that Sin, is just a part of our lives. Identifying it, working on it, can give us freedom.Time: 30 min

    What does the Three Comings of Jesus at Advent mean?

    The Three ComingsAdvent is an overflowing treasure of beauty: all the ancient prophecies, with their ever-new relevance; all the subtle harmony of the Old and the New Testaments; all the lasting appeal of the Antiphons, of the Hymns, and of the Carols.  This is a season of Hope and of Wonder. It is so full, so filled, so flowing over that it seems too much for sober adults, even a ‘confusion,’ perhaps.  During Advent, it is by tradition that we speak of the three comings. What does the Three Comings of Jesus at Advent mean ? One of our penitential rites sets before us the “Three Comings.”  He “did come,” it says. He “does come,” it says. He “will come,” it says.  This is the time to warm to that sacred pattern, to allow it to shape your pre-Christmas days. Somehow, they all run together, these comings, they are all connected.  Each is a preparation for the other in our human time. Each builds on the other in our human time.  We can never have one of these without the other, because God’s own time has slipped into our human time.  Advent is the time to accustom yourselves to remembering His Incarnation, for He did break into our world; to looking for His sacramental and his providential comings, for He does break into our world each day; and to longing for His final coming at the end of days, for He will break into our world bringing it to conclusion.
