I had already posted my daily post today. I was praying and refecting on those who are sick in my life and their needs.The memory of this song came to me and I got up to get some chicken broth for lunch. Why, I need to tell you that I really don’t know lol but, thats okay. 🙂 So, I sat down and put the computer on and I had received an email as a reminder and invite to a meeting of people living with Chronic desease etc. A support group, I have gone once before. It was such an inspirational experience for me. My faith was built by each and everyone that was present that evening in that room. Their are no victims or Matyrs present there either. They are God’s children and Jesus Christ has already won that war for us. We Already have Victory Through Christ, Jesus. They are people loving and caring for eachother and carrying one anothers crosses through prayer. It lightens their loads and burdens ultimately building their faith. A strong foundation!. Its simple and not dramatic. Its LOVE.

I mentioned in my blog last Friday I believe that it was that that I could not go to Dana Farber this past Monday. I saw my primary on Monday instead and I have a cold that got pretty heavy. So,I am just riding it out and I will go To Dana next week for the scan . It will happen at God’s appointed time. That, I do know.

It was no coincidence that God brought me to this song today it is for this moment. So turn up the volume of your speakers and go full screen. Let the Spirit of God heal you in this moment . AMEN!

Please pray today 

For : Paul S and his family

for Anne K and her family

for Jenn C and her family

For All of Our Hospitals, medical doctors, nurses, support , Physical therapists and scientists

For the group of those from my parish  living with cancer and other chronic illnesses.

For all of the sick in this world, all of those in pain and despair. For world peace and peoples hearts and souls to turn back to Jesus Christ/ God in this moment. Amen.

 

It Is The Time Of Miracles !

God Bless You !

Danny

I believe that this is an anointed  song.

Greet The Day, no matter what is going on and kick it!!  We are alive in Christ ! Amen

 

In the video below ……………………………

We can do anything !!!!! God is here !!!!!! Nuns found Emmanuel and his brother in a park in Iraq. They were in a box left to die, In a war zone and the nuns saved them. They were  then adopted by their mom who is Australian and she is clearly an angel ! God Bless Them All !

Emmanuel is his name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Emmanuel is: God with us.

 

Do not give negative thoughts a moment, like the next song says…. Beautiful.

God Bless,

God calls us all to service. Each one of us lives to help and make life better for the next one. When we are young our minds wander and we think and sometimes worry what we are going to do when we get older? What will I be? And then there is the little voice that becomes the Big voice as we grow with faith with our God. The Holy Spirit calls us to descern what our destiny will be.

For Me, I remember being between 7 and nine years old and got the interior question, should I be a priest ? My dad and mom thought that it would be great, they said just think about it Dan, and I did. My mom had at least 3 or so counsins who were dedicated to the Lord and were nuns. They would come by to visit our home and my mom so they were very real to us. We saw the person and the nun. Nuns were people too. 🙂

I remember going up to the beach and they were there on the sand sitting with their parents etc. It was a beautiful time. I just never envisioned them on a beach and yet they were. 🙂 lol What a revelation to a kid. LOl

Having gone through the Catholic school system in the Late 60’s and 70’s I remember the nuns. Sisters of Saint Joseph taught us at St. Agnes. it was around the time of Vatican Two and the changes were happening in the church. The nuns were changing their habits. 🙂 Literally.

We had some of the sisters in the traditional long black habbits with the bright white bibs. And other sisters wearing the newer habits with the small head piece.

The habits changed but their love,devotion, and care for us their children did not. The school staff was at least 90% religious with a few lay teachers but even those lay teachers were so dedicated to their faith as well. It was a very Holy environment. It was strict and there were rules and consequences for us all.

The Parish priests made it their business to get to the school and would make their presence known. It was a big deal for us kids for them to come by. ( thats a future writing ).

Every morning the nuns would come out of the convent and would enter the school together and open their classrooms.

When the bell rang in the school yard, Everyone formed lines and each child orderly followed their teacher in lines of 2 and quietly followed them into the school.

I had a problem with the quiet part 🙂 lol. I got detention a lot. I cleaned a whole lot of chaulk boards and erasers. The nuns had no problem staying late to allow their students to learn the boundaries and decipline. They did not have a job, they had a ministry. They were God’s brides and they were doing the most important job in society helping to grow future leaders of the church and society.

I could go on and on. I miss the nuns , I miss the huge May Processions. I miss the faithful packing the church. So many changes but is all change good ? I do not think so.

I remember all the nuns in church all the time it was a special time.

And yet, The nuns took vows of poverty, chastity etc. They were servants of God.

You know I hear all the time to pray for the religious life vocations. Which makes me want to ask this,  Did God stop calling people to religious life ? I do not think so. I think society is not listening? What use to be a noble and proud service for God is now some how uncool? Only God knows the reason for this taking place.

 

Well, for me at the age of nine or so the voice of priesthood quieted in my head. As I grew in years  I just knew that I was not cut from that cloth to be a priest. To be a great priest you need to be there 24 hours a day and need to be very strong in faith to fight the barrage of stuff being put upon you. I was not that person and God led me to my beautiful wife so, I know that God did not intend me for that special service. He expected me to pray and think about the invite though. I was intended to be a son,husband, dad and friend. My own life ministry I guess we can call it 🙂 You have one too. 🙂

When I see the culture laughing and making jokes about these special people it comes from one place. evil. Making fun of a servent who is given their lives to Honor God is not funny. It is in this case ……..

sac·ri·le·gious
ˌsakrəˈlijəs/
adjective
 
  1. involving or committing sacrilege.
    “a sacrilegious act”
    synonyms: profane, blasphemous, impious, sinful, irreverent, irreligious, unholy,disrespectful

    “your vile language is sacrilegious”

 

Here are a few exaples of what special people nuns are.

 

It is a beautiful Habit to have. 🙂

A song came back to me today and I went in search of it and tried to find what the meaning of the song was. I remember being in grade school and this song was very popular. It was in regards to St. Michael the Archangel. God and his angels are with us constantly. This song is the part of the rich fabric of my Catholic upbringing.

And, I loved the nuns too. A writing for another day.

The highwaymen  Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.

 

By Kim Ruehl

History of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”

“Michael Row the Boat Ashore” is an old American folk song that hails from the slave era, and became a popular anthem during the civil rights movement. Its existence was first noted in the early 1860s, although the song itself is probably much older. The song was noted in letters between teachers and abolitionists, who heard it while on St. Helena Island in South Carolina.

“Michael Row the Boat Ashore” Lyrics

Most people nowadays probably only know the refrain from this traditional song, which repeats “Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah” twice. The full song, however, talks about crossing the River Jordan, and Michael is the archangel Michael. While there are many versions of the song—due to the fact that it was passed down orally for a long time before being recorded—the lyrics basically talk about finding God and one’s family on the other side of the river in the promised land:O the Lord he plant his garden there.
He raise the fruit for you to eat.
He that eat shall never die.
When the river overflow.

Pete Seeger has noted that, since the song was found in the islands off South Carolina, it may be indicative of a work song that the slaves sung as they were rowing to the mainland. In the more mainstream version recorded by Seeger (purchase/download), he sings also of the familial calls of the song:

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah

Who has recorded “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”?

Several popular versions of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” have been recorded through the years. In addition to Pete Seeger’s version, the song has also been recorded by Harry Belafonte ( purchase/download ), Peter, Paul and Mary (purchase/download ) and the Nields ( purchase/download ).

What resounds in my heart today, is how fragile we all are. I have never really discussed on my blog as a guy what my diagnosis with a terminal cancer had meant in that moment to me, my family, my parents, siblings and my friends.

This could be a long writing but I will break it into peices over a period of time. Upon receiving the news about my friend Paul yesterday it was so close to home for me that when in prayer last night , I had his whole family unit and friends in my large web of thoughts and prayer.My wife and I met Paul and Linda 20 years ago and were neighbors for 10 years and have remained friends since our move to a different home in town.

I know what I felt like after I was diagnosed personally and I felt like I had let my family down. I wrote once that to me,  I felt that I was my wifes knight in shining armour and had fallen off the horse. I felt that I had failed my wife and family. I really beat myself up for a while over this.. My wife did not feel that way. And, as I grew in my awareness of what this situation truely was and where God was in it. I realized that what happened to me was not of my doing it is a condition that God had never intended for us either.

If you have read my blog you would know that God made it clear to myself and doctors through the Holy Spirit that …. I had cancer, cancer was not of God and that I do not own this cancer. And, I never did.

Well,

That goes for my friend Paul and you all as well. We are all the same in God’s eye’s. He loves us all so much ! cancer and evil is not of God, period !

But, he will get us through , Amen !

You know,  recently ( two weeks ago) , my wife and I were sitting in the family room here and she reminded me of how Paul and Linda had come to visit one night after my diagnosis and Paul had to get me out of the sofa, I was so weak.  I remember being stuck and not being able to get up and out of it. We are all our brothers keepers. For anyone who is currently not well, think positive thoughts, trust in God and expect healing. Pray and visit healing services too. God answers all prayers. Look for the angels in your life. I have too many angels in my life to count. Thank you God ! 🙂 xo

Remember to laugh always no matter what !

I will continue on this topic shortly. Hope abounds !!!!!!

Today,  Thursday, I went to Physical therapy. I was in the exercise area with my therapist and there was a lovely women sitting across from me in a chair doing here supervised weight excercises. She was so pleasant looking and after a few moments I became aware that she was blind. We began to talk and the word cancer came out and I said that I was recovering my left side at the moment by the grace of God. She said what kind of cancer? do you mind me asking? I said no problem I was diagnosed with Gleo Blastoma Multiforme Grade 4 non surgical and was given a very short window of survival. I told her that I feel great and I am currently cancer free  it has been 2.5 years since that diagnosis.

I then asked her what kind of cancer she had and she said pancreatic. She said that she is cancer free and has had 3 clean scans now. She goes once again in  Oct for a scan  and I will go for my next  scan on this coming Monday.

The common factor for both of us was God. As I said to her, I do not worry about Monday and she agreed. God’s got it. This is the time of Miracles !!

As I say we meet everyone in our lives for one reason only because God preordains it. psalm # 139 say’s it all.

Explanation of Psalm #139 Very beautiful. God is our refuge.

Well my meeting today with this lovely women in the PT office had a purpose, God was behind it. I was getting into my daughters S car after PT and she was weeping. I said what’s wrong honey and she said P. S. has pancreatic cancer, I said to my daughter,  look to the right. Do you see that beautiful older women standing there? She has been blind since birth, is married to a blind gentleman and just survived pancreatic cancer. I said I met her today because God wanted me to witness her and to then witness  to Paul, Linda and their family that fact. You see I was not certain that I would get to PT but God made sure that I did.

Disease and theses terrible sounding  prognosises that we hear and receive are a burden we all carry from the fall of the Garden Of Eden, but God is the author of life. So we have every expectation of full recovery through him.

Paul is a long time Somerville Fire Fighter, Has a beautiful wife Linda and 3 awesome. kids. P and L have wonderful parents and siblings as well. God is good.

They are parishoners of St. Joseph’s

My wife and I sponsored them for Cursillo so they too have attended St. Basils in Methuen Ma as well.

This is a link to a fund that was  just set up to help his family during his treatment.

Please keep the  in your prayers . Thank you 🙂

For Linda and Paul. Love you and God Bless You !

God bless you all as well. 🙂

For Paul and all of the Sullivans.

There are so many things in life that I do not know. I have prayed on this and I have finally decided to post this account. I promised myself that when I began this blog that I would be truthful and honest in every account that is placed here.

Because of my upbringing, Mediums etc were not part of my everyday life. I discussed this from time with people from my own faith also when I was younger,  I spoke to a priest. The explanation that I was given at that time by the priest was that first of all not all so called Spiritual gifts are from God. I do believe that . There is a whole lot of deception from the devil out there who wants to confuse us. Lead us from salvation.

I was taught by my tradition the Roman Catholic faith  that the focus is on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which I do personally believe. But, having said that since my writings for the church, my writtings under the heading of love letters from God and finally this blog. I have had so many experiences in the Spiritual rhealm as well as dreams and visions. The constants in my life in my visions  and dreams are God, Jesus Christ, and The Blessed Mother.

So, I take very seriously anything that I write of or speak about in regards to Heaven.. I pray on everything because my soul is on the line. I believe that whole heartily.

This next account is the truth and I need to share…

Around three months ago I came in the door from physical therapy and came back to my chair to sit down. The phone rang and my God mother was on the phone she said, Hi danny , are you sitting down ? I said what else do I do?  and we laughed. She said, I know how you feel about these things but,  It is just so amazing.

I said , what?

She said that two of her grandchildren and one of their childhood friends decided one night that they would go see a medium for fun. My aunt acknowlodged the fact she too did not feel comfortable or called to see one either.

So anyways, they picked up the phonebook and found one. They booked the appointment. Let me state for the record that I have never met her grandchildren nor their friend.

So, they went off to see this man, I do not know his name, I never felt compelled to ask. Her grandchildren and their friend are probably juniors or seniors in high school I am guessing.

The man greeted them and told eachone things that he could never be able to know. Things about events when they were small accidents etc. They were shocked to here about events that they had nearly forgotten about.

He then said who has the older women like your grandmothers age that recently passed away? My aunts two grand daughters said oh, I think my Nana’s sister passed away a few months ago. That was my mom Roberta.

He then said and who Is the male attached to her that has brain cancer? they said I think her son does ( me ).

He then said please let him know that St. Raphael is holding and protecting him.

I have told you all that my whole family prays to St. Raphael and uses the Blessed oil that we received from the healing ministry at St. Josephs.

So, I took that as a  direct message from God. it was very comforting for me to hear. But again, I never felt compelled to call this man directy either. Gods got this situation, and thats all that really matters to me.

There are as I said before,  things that are not good for us spiritually. And, My family experienced them back when I was in my eary 20’s. So I do not dabble in things that I do not understand. We are all better off, If we don’t. I will discuss what happened on this blog when the time is right.

God Bless You,

Danny

Just a quick blog, I am sitting here at home all by my onesies, and was thinking about my blog. I have had so many conversations over the last two years about documenting this journey. What I get now more than ever is just how much people are enjoying the witness of my journey and that of my family. Its causing my family to re-live certain events that were tramatic in that day and I guess this journey,of hearing it and reading about it in this manner will bring more closure and healing to us all.

My intent for this blog is very simple, I want to help even just one person. We are all the same to God precious. This blog is his victory story. To everything there is a purpose.

The byrds

When it comes down to it, by the grace of God all that we have in the life really is eachother, and that is really the most important thing anyway. Material stuff is really so unimportant. We need to celebrate and support oneanother. Amen.

The Love Of My Mom. Her love for God and Her Miracle Part Four

My Mom was at Spaulding Rehab Cambridge,  in the Ventilator unit for quite some time and it was decided that they needed to try and withdraw the vent and the likelihood of her coming off it was not good because when you are on a ventilator for an extended period of time your body becomes use to the machine doing the work and sometimes will not pick up the function of breathing on its own, once again. My mom was awake and alert and the weining process began, slowly seeing if her body would in fact support her, The weing was a slow process,  took several days of reducing the ammount of support that the ventilator was doing and then she was off the ventilator, breathing on her own. Praise God!  Dr.S and all of us in our family were just so happy! God is faithful to those who love him. Amen !

The next obstacle that she tackled was that she could not speak. Her doctor explained that when the ventilator is in place  you cannot talk and it was in her throat for so long that damage could have been done to the vocal chords etc. Doctor S.  removed the plug in her neck,  I  guess you call it? She began to speak immediately words from of her mouth. The doctor was so impressed and we were so happy hearing moms voice once again. It had been months! The Holy Spirit of God took care of that need immediately. Like I said, it was and is the time of Miracles for all of us. 🙂 This whole health crisis/ event that occurred started at around April in her home and  it was now the Fall of 2011, She had been in Mt. Auburn, and at Spaulding this whole time with a very low expectation of survival. But, she had the peace of Christ and did not think that way. She saw Hope and had such Faith, She saw Victory. She was very ill, but still saw Victory through Christ/ God. Her Rosary was always in hand and her friends St. Michael and St. Raphael were right there with her .

I will continue shortly with my blog entry…. Mom, Mary, Michelle, Dotty, Elizabeth and Georgie what a beautiful story to share, God is just amazing in all that he is doing.

God Bless You,

Danny
