The season of #fall is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than to enjoy a slice of apple pie or light your favorite pumpkin candle? Dixie Dillon Lane shares how these moments of autumn bliss can also be reminders of God’s love for us and his creation:

Pumpkin Spice and Other Delights: Enjoying God’s Gifts This Fall - Busted Halo

It important to indulge in the light of delight, in the little things that may be transient, but are put there by God to give us moments of comfort.

Deacon Drew @deacondrew.bsky.social · 3d

Whenever we think we are responsible for the good things in our lives, or we feel lucky, rather than blessed, we are missing the presence of God in our lives.

It’s not the end of the world. He will wait for us to catch up and realize it was always Him.

Jesus is ever loving and ever patient.

"How long, O Lord? I cry for help but you do not listen. I cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not intervene. The vision still has its time…If it delays, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not be late." (Hb 1:2,2:3) Hope in times of despair is more than any mustard seed can alone provide.

Very welcome.

Regarding the question about priesthood, the best thing for any person to do is to start a conversation with a vocations director.

It would be easy to just say "no."

But, if someone has a vocation on the brain, it's always good to speak with a vocations director.

The Eucharist is something we participate in together, and we must be present with each other. @FatherDaveDwyer explains why we should save praying the Rosary for after Mass:
