New Yorkers love to complain and so it's no surprise that people are complaining that the weather forecasters got it wrong. The blizzard that was forecasted to be a near record breaker spared the city, for the most part. (Maybe God heard my prayers, because I was praying that "Prayer Against Storms" that I found on Deacon Greg Kandra's blog! Governor Cuomo, took the unusual step of shutting down the NYC su...

Sunday, March 30, 2014. What If Jesus Showed Up? I'm a little tired now after giving a Day of Reflection along with a leader from the Diocese of Brooklyn. I presented to the English speaking laypeople and my friend was the presenter for the Spanish speaking laypeople, who are preparing to become lay leaders in the Church. It seems if you take them at their word and they were very serious and sincere, it appears to me that Jesus "showed up" today at the Day of Reflection. Labels: experiences of Jesus.

Monday, April 28, 2014. Pope Francis' Inequality Tweet-And the Housing Crisis in NYC. On Monday, Pope Francis tweeted the following, "Inequality is the root of social evil." It was retweeted over 10,000 times by the afternoon. Some think the Pope may have read or heard about Thomas Piketty's best selling book about capitalism titled, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century? Unless more affordable housing is built, the cultural and ethnic diversity that makes NYC great will be greatly affected and harmed.

Monday, October 27, 2014. Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski-Communion Breakfast at the Seminary And Other Things. I visited the beautiful Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The renovation is stunning. It's a magnificent Church in a very trendy neighborhood of Brooklyn. What a challenge for the Rector, Msgr. Kieran Harrington, to try to engage the young adult Catholics in the neighborhood! Labels: Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski Auxiliary Bishop of Rockville Centre. Friday, October 17, 2014.

BROOKLYN BORN BELIEVER: CNN's Show Highlighted Atheists and the World of Non-Believers
http://brooklyn-born-believer.blogspot.com/2015/03/cnns-show-highlighted-atheists-and.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2015. CNN's Show Highlighted Atheists and the World of Non-Believers. I watched most of the CNN special last night, "Atheists: Inside the World of Non-Believers," about atheists in America. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the people (and ministers) who had lost their faith. It was so sad to see the parents of a young adult atheist, struggle with their son's atheism. I suggest that since atheists are so fascinated with science (as many believers are too! Is quoted as saying, "the m...

Monday, December 29, 2014. God-Getting in Touch With the Greatest Mystery of All. I love Fr. Lauder's column's in The Tablet. I believe from studying the writings of mystical saints for most of my adult life, divine mysteries as the mystics tell us, can only be pierced through love and then only dimly. But through love as many of the mystical saints have written and spoken of, bits and pieces of the greatest mystery of all-the existence of God-can be known through love and revealed truth. The shooter who...

Sunday, May 17, 2015. Missionaries of the Most Holy Eucharist and Their Powerful Consecration at Mass. There was adoration throughout the day, talks, an outstanding homily by Fr. Sean. Another highlight was near the end of the day, we were all blessed individually with the Blessed Sacrament in the Monstrance. The Monstrance was held up to our foreheads as we kneeled before the altar. Very powerful day. If you would like to know more about their retreat days, check out their website at. He goes on to say,...

Sunday, November 30, 2014. Closing St. Elizabeth's Church UES? A Spiritual Haven for the Deaf. I'm getting ready to attend Church but I just have to put my "two cents in," and express sadness about the article I read in the New York Times. I hope the Archdiocese reconsiders. According to the pastor, Msgr. Patrick McCahill, who celebrates Mass and other sacraments in Sign Language, the parish is financially secure and the building is in good condition. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Sunday, July 27, 2014. The Sad Summer of 2014-. Thank God for Pope Francis! But, of course, no one knows the day or hour when Christ will return in glory but the world is not in a good place right now. Pope Francis is begging for peace, for an end to destructive wars that destroy homes and maim children and adults. It's absurd that at this time in human history, peace is so elusive for humankind. How difficult is it to solve the problems that keep people hating each other? Where are the solutions? Then l...

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Chen Guangbiao-Philantropist Trying To Do Good. Chen Guangbiao, a very rich Chinese philanthropist, who some call eccentric, treated 200 homeless people to a fancy lunch today in a Central Park restaurant in New York City. A man of humble beginnings Chen amassed his wealth through hard work and perseverance (and a recycling business) and he's trying to give back. Whatever his motives are, I think he's doing a good thing. Apparently there will be more luncheons in the future.
