Medjugore miracles.

Our dear family friend P. S. embarked yesterday on a pilgramage to Medjugorje with his brother Steve. P has been fighting his battle with pancreatic cancer.

So, yesterday he kissed his wife and kids good bye to make his long journey to the small town in Western Bosnia.

God is with them and faith has lead them their for a healing from God.

You know there are two different camps out there…

Those who believe and those who don’t.

Yesterday I had heard about Pauls departure seeking a healing with his brother all the way to Bosnia and thought what a beautiful journey that he has taken on. It is physically challenging  for him for sure given his treatment etc but he is living his Victory despite his illness. Amen.

The other camp. When my wife got word of their departure a conversation began with a few in the group that we were with. They began asking questions and we responded. their were funny eyes being made, and not alot of understanding. Their faith as a family is not strong so I understood their thinking that it was weird.

My feeling is this… They have a right to their opinion and it does not bother me. I also know that they look at me and cannot figure me out. They do not know how I can live happily when I was given a terminal diagnosis 3 years ago. I am here to hopefully open their eyes up to God reality.

Well, Paul and I share one very important thing God and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Something my other friends do not comprehend in this moment. I pray that someday they will because we all need him ! Amen. Pauls faith has called him to believe in a healing and he was called to Bosnia in this moment Amen.

For Pauls Miracle and his brothers Steves desires for his brothers needs to be met.

Kari Jobe The more I Seek You.

For his wife L and their three children.

Sanctus Real.

God Bless You,

Danny

For my neice who was wed in January and my daughter who is due to wed this summer. They both have awesome moms 🙂

I have mentioned my dad  many times on this blog and I have to say I am very blessed to have him.

He is a very strong soft spoken man. He minds his business but is there for myself or any of his family members regardless of the generation.

MY dad is 87 now. My cancer has had some good upsides too. It slowed me down so that I could see even more clearly the important things in my life. You see, my parents were  always very good . They never demanded anything of their children  after we were married. As my mom would say do what you need to do in terms of the holidays etc meaning that they were not going stress us ( their children) out to be there at their home every holiday. My parents would just say no problem, we are here. It was precisely for that easy going and welcoming nature that all 5 of their children and 13 grand children converged on their home on all Holiday’s and  most Sundays for dinners and or a cook out. My parents bought a new swing set, a kiddie pool, kiddie chairs , balloons and balls. My brother even bought a battery powered jeep for the kids to drive in the yard 🙂 So cute. We all brought our kids cozy coupes with us too. It was so cute to see them all in action.

As this Mothers Day approached I was thinking of my mom in the small moments. My mother was at peace in the midst of the storm. Even as my dad laughed and played with the kids on those beautiful busy family days. My mom would gently talk to her children and grand children and even as the kids were running eachother over with their cozy coupes and battery operated jeep. She calmly made up her potted plant arangements useing her back stoop as her workbench.

My parents are a major fact of why I combat my lifes issues so well. My moms death is coming up to its two year anniversary shortly. She remains very much alive in all of here children and my dads heart and memory. Amen.

This past week I went to see my dad. I recently introduced him to Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwiches 🙂 I had not had one for years myself but I wanted to treat him with breakfast so, it went like this….

Danny pulled into my dads driveway at o’9:00 military time in my geloppy and my dad came right out he had been standing look out LOL . He at age 87 ran down the steps to assist his 53 year old son out of the car. He grabbed the bag from dunks first!  I will  have you know ! 🙂

So, in we went to my dad house and he  had the table set with paper plates and 1 peice of paper towel each. He made me sit and then got his Kurig going.

I explained what I had gotten and he said oh, I never had one. Well, he thoroughly enjoyed it and I even got him for .75 cents a small thing of their tator tots. While he was eating them he stopped eating and said hum they are suprisingly good. 🙂

In that quiet moment just being with my dad my mom was brought up. As, I scanned the diningroom pictures of my mom and dad throughout the many years were loving placed by my dad. He said it will be two years in August. I said i know as his eyes filled with tears. I said dad, mom is no longer in pain and his fully healed by Christ and she is with us now and always.

For our moms Happy Mothers Day,  🙂

God Bless You All.

Danny.

Also please pray for The Family of Tim Daly. Tim went to the Lord after a long battle with ALS. Jim is no longer a prisoner of his body. Amen. Please keep them in your prayers this Mothers Day.

Pastor’s Reflection for May 10, 2015

by Fr. Ron

Dear Parishioners,

This weekend we celebrate Mother’s Day. If there are two words that can describe mothers, it is “selfless giving.” They are truly a reflection of the love of the Lord. I came across some of the following that you might enjoy reading;

Some Typical Motherly Advice 

  • “Because I am your mother that’s why”
  • I hope that when you grow up, you have kids “just like you!”
  • “Because I said so”
  • “Just wait until your father gets home.”
  • “Bored! How can you be bored? I was never bored at your age!”
  • “Never lie, cheat or steal.”
  • “I slave for hours over a hot stove and this is the thanks I get?”
  • “Honestly… You’d lose your head if it wasn’t screwed on!”
  • “I’ve got eyes in the back of my head, that how.”
  • “Don’t put that in your mouth, you don’t know where it’s been!”

Mothers Day CoverInspirational Mother’s Day Quotes

  • “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.”
  • “Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
  • “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.”
  • “By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.” – Anne Morrow Lindbergh
  • “That best academy, a mother’s knee.” – James Russell Lowell
  • “Making a decision to have a child– it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” – Elizabeth Stone
  • “A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” – Tenneva Jordan.

Funny Mother Jokes

  • For weeks a six year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, “Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?” Tommy burst into tears and confessed, “I think Mommy ate it!”
  • Mother to daughter advice: Cook a man a fish and you feed him for a day. But teach a man to fish and you get rid of him for the whole weekend.
  • The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she’d have children if she had it to do over again. “Yes,” she replied. “But not the same ones.”

May Jesus continue to shepherd you in all of your needs.

God love you,

Strength and Courage With A Smile

One observation that I would like to focus on today is that  it never ceases to amaze me of how no matter what a human being is experiencing in this life we are  in most cases still able to smile and see the joy in this life. Gods amazing gift to us all!

Whenever I go to Dana Farber for my appointments I walk through the crowd of patients many whom are very ill. But, they always respond to my conversation with a smile and converse with me about things like weather, wait time etc. They aren’t negative or acting depressed. Being a cancer patient or any person suffering from any illness, I have found are grateful to be in the moment that we are in because Life is a beautiful thing. We come to accept our plights because that is what we need to do. It’s the healthy option. For instance when I was dianosed with terminal cancer three years ago, I needed to choose how I would live this diagnosis. I do not want to ruin my families life with drama and dread. I thought about the serenity prayer today as I went out for one item bananas 🙂 lol. I needed them! 🙂  And at both stores I parked  and walked all the way into find that they were fresh out of them. I was pooped by the time I found a package with 3 bananas  inside, victory! 🙂

Then I stood in the express line for 20 minutes to buy 3 pretty ripe bananas . Omg . I came home and had to climb the staircase from the garage to the main floor of my home. I made it and plopped down onto my docking station. lol

I had a bumpy day emotionally on Thursday I had a lot of alone time so I had myself a little pitty party. As good as I feel or as optimistic as I generally am.

I still say , I cannot believe this is my life.

God is our one constant he is with us!!!

I spoke to all my siblings yesterday at one point or the other and dumped out a lot of my personal thoughts. I had worked on yesterday’s blog for a few,days before actually posting it. I was personally drained from the feelings and emotions that went with that phone conversation.

BY the way if you could say a prayer for J today she has another infusion  which maker her feel even sicker.

Also, Please Pray for Paul my friend who is meeting today for his scan results he is battling pancreatic cancer. He is an awesome man of God. Amen.

One of the things I told my family last night was this,

Yes, I am grateful to be alive in this moment. I am currently a Miracle , but it is not always easy being a Miracle.

I am a different me all together to what I was. In some cases I am the better for the cancer in others I am not.

I think that it is another stage of acceptance that I am now aware of. A new threshold of understanding . I look in the mirror and have a different understanding of what I am. I look okay but my body still does not operate properly. It’s like my mind is trapped in my body.

I will work through this in time. I need to allow this process of acceptance to work its way through me naturally. The way God wants us to. We need to hand our worries, pains and suffering off to God and allow him to strengthen us.

The final piece that has effected me is that I know of at least three young people of families I know who are dealing with their children’s suicides. Beautiful family, beautiful kids. I have found it so sad. I need to pray on this subject and write.

I have not heard this song for years but it is beautiful. GOD is always with us even in the darkness of times

I again, I needed to be honest as I sit here and say I just cannot imagine a life without God, Faith and fellowship with others.

God Bless You. And have a beautiful weekend. For any young ones making their First Holy Communion. God Bless You.

Danny

Jesus Loves All of His Children. Amen. :)

I saw this article today and remembered this story from the news. At the time I heard about him he had received many many cards . So cute 🙂

God Bless This Angel. Amen.

http://www.thesunchronicle.com/news/local_news/danny-nickerson-foxboro-boy-who-inspired-thousands-dies/article_7422abcc-8f6a-53ac-a42d-3f17e0d860e0.html

We as humans can never understand the reasons for young children’s illnesses and subsequent deaths. Where is God in that ?

Well, when I saw the news about little Danny’s death my first personal thought was why him and not me. There is always a bit of survivor guilt for a person like me who is beating the odds … AT THIS MOMENT, ANYWAY.

Well, three years ago I would not be able to answer that question  but, I will attempt to now. It is beyond our complete understanding and only God knows the time that we are conceived and are called home to him. One thing I can guarantee you is this, God was well pleased with Danny and the beauty that he brought to this world. Danny fell ill with a desease of his little body and its imperfection.  Danny witness love ,joy and hope to everyone. He touched the hearts and minds of so many.

Danny effected a change in this world in a way that only he could. Amen

Danny’s parents were correct, this world’s desease is no longer upon him he is no longer under the bondage of this world. Danny is free.

EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED TO HIS REQUEST FOR A CARD WAS AN AGENT OF GOD. OUR BROTHERS KEEPER. AMEN.

WHAT LESSENS WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR YOUNG Children. Amen!

Having lost my son Brad Michael. I believe he is awaiting my arrival someday. Love is eternal thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ ! Amen.

This little girl is awesome !

Anyone who was in Catholic School in the 60’s -70’s will know this song 🙂

God Bless You All,

Danny

I happen to love these songs. These songs remind me of St. Basils and my mom. .When I came across this song today I was preparing for when I go to mass this weekend. I have been reflecting on this past week. My mind has been in so many places and my prayer life has been even more intense.

A lot of people that I have talked to have requested prayers it seems that  everyone has something going on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRXt5OjIe5E

Tonight my wife and I are having a couple of good friends in for supper. They are God Strong and P has been battling cancer as well. I feel very optimistic for him but feel his pain and that of his families because I have walked this road with my family too.

We have been friends in the easy years, we are friends through this time and I am sure that we will be friends when we are very old too. 🙂

So, I dedicate this song to our friend  Donna S. Who passed the 8th of APRIL , I dedicate this song to P and L our dears friends in Christ and lastly I dedicate this beautiful song to you all because Jesus is…… OUR

All in All

God Bless you,

Danny

That’s right! No kidding. Here’s the detail on my Dana visit this past Wednesday.

I hit the hay Tuesday evening at a little after 9. I had showered, set my cell phone alarm, laid my clothing out in my bath and was ready for my 4:15 alarm. I got a call from my brother about our friend Donnas death and told my wife . I stayed in bed and did some tearful prayers, I know where Donna is but I will miss her she was a brick in my foundation too.

I slept okay but I would wake up and pray for her and thank God for having had  her in my life.

So , I was awake before my cell alarm went off. I got up quietly so I would not wake my wife and got dressed etc. I headed through the bedroom and my wife was awake so we said our goodbyes:)  I went downstairs it was now around 4:40 I got a sip of water, double checked for my keys, Dana card, coat and glasses. I grabbed the cane and down I went to the garage it was now 4:43 dang!  Time flies!

I got into My car and off I went my first time to Danah Farber by myself! I arrived at the hospital in my garage space at 5:18 a.m. I could not believe how fast and effortless it was to get there. The hospital was not open yet so I had a chance to sit quietly and reflect.

Yes, I missed my wife and or my family members that were normally with me but, I knew that it was time to just do it. My wife would normally come with me which required  her to miss work time that needed to be made up because of the nature of her work plus she remain the sole income of our home.

So, I decided that my wife and family deserved to be freed from this responsibility. The guards there are so nice too. One saw me sitting in my car and waved me into the lobby. So, I got out of my car and began to walk with my cane and the left leg began to stiffen so I took a deep breath and said , I am fine and help me LORD  I looked up and the guard was holding the door for me , I smiled and said thanks my mind is fighting with my body. ( fear) still lingering a bit from the track incident. i just smiled.

Well, I stuck it out and went about the building, blood draw,MRI brain scan and then went across the hospitals to see my doctor. I concentrated my attention on people around me and prayer in order not to be frozen by fear of my leg seizing up. . Every time my leg froze I said c’mon and pushed on just knowing that it is a brain thing not a serious threat.

The doctors head assistant S came into the exam room and started off my visit and she is awesome. Picture a sweet angel, thats her 🙂  I answered all of her questions and discussed related matters. She hugged me and went to get my Dr. A few minutes later Dr. R Came into the room and said hello. He introduced me to a Dr. From China who was visiting and is an expert with GLIO brain cancer . HE wanted to see how I was presenting and look at my case info. I just said I am doing well because of God his medicines, machines and their hands through Jesus. With that my doctor said can you believe it Dan you have been out of treatment for 2 years. He smiled and said unbelievable. I raised my cane towards the ceiling and said GOD. 🙂

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omkD5fFdzFQ

Thank You God For The Breath In My Body.

With that I said thank you to the nice Chinese Dr. He went to shake my hand and I said no I am a hugger and gave him a big hug with a God bless You. 🙂

Next,  I dove for Dr R and he was standing there with a big smile on his face I hugged him and said thank you, God Bless You and I said I love you. We left the room and as I walked down the hall I thought to myself what a beautiful God moment. I do not know the custom of the Chinese but I knew the graditude that I felt for these wonderful men. God is love and they work everyday to bring his love to their patients Amen.

My scan was as clear as a bell. It’s a straight out Miracle Praise GOD.!!

i headed to my car and my leg got me there Amen 🙂

The Air i Breath.

God Bless You All,

Danny

Pastor’s Reflection for April 26, 2015

by Fr. Ron

Dear Parishioners,

This Friday, May 1, we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. This is the second feast of St. Joseph in our liturgical calendar. The first being March 19, the feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus.  This feast day which was instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1955 was made to promote the dignity of labor and to encourage a spiritual dimension to labor unions. Pope Pius XII emphasized the importance of work to the Christian life in building up the kingdom of God. The worker is not to be degraded or be used for material gain but to be respected for his gifts and labor.  For a practical application to this feast day, perhaps we can reflect on ways that we can add a spiritual dimension to our work day. How can we be like Jesus who worked as a carpenter? How can we live a virtuous life in our places of employment?

I share with you a letter that I received this past week from Cardinal Seán;

Congratulations on reaching your 2015 Catholic Appeal goal at St. Joseph Parish.

The Catholic Appeal is the primary means through which we sustain essential ministries that build up our community and encourage all of our people to live together in faith. Thank you for your support of this important effort.

The generosity of your parishioners is a sign of their recognition and appreciation of our pastoral leadership. I am truly grateful for their commitment and support of the work of the Church. Please share with them my heartfelt thanks for continuing to be joyful signs of God’s boundless love and compassion to all.

Thank you for your generous response to the Catholic Appeal. I also thank you for your continued generous support to this parish. Again, I encourage you to consider the spiritual activity of tithing, giving your first 10% of your income to the Lord. I ask that you support this parish with part of your tithe and to give the rest in support of other worthy organizations to help those in need. Also as you can see with our financial monthly reports, most of our parish support comes from our offertory and less from our electronic giving. It would be nice if we could reverse that in order to help us prepare for our yearly budget.

I will be available to hear confessions on Tuesday, April 28, from 7:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

May Jesus continue to shepherd you in all of your needs.

God love you,

The phone rang on Tuesday evening at around 9:15 pm and it was my brother S and he said that our friend  Donna S. Passed away on April 8, We did not know.  Donna was our family friend for the last 20 or so years. We met her through St.Basils and she was so perfect in her love for everyone. God radiated through her life  and she served everyone.

Donna, worked very hard in her life despite having  had a whole lot of physical limitations. She kept going and never stopped. She was young but had a terrible lung desease that required her to have oxygen at all times. she carried that tank around with her daily as she served everyone in need. 

She loved God and believed in every word that he spoke that is written in his good book. . She lived those words and did not complain about her restrictions. She just reached out.

Donna and I talked often and she visited us here a few months back for dinner. It was very special as always. She would say Dan, God is useing you in a powerful way and I would say Donna you are the amazing one.

She cared, she was smart and she was humble and caring like Mother Teresa was.

She was also current and fun and would laugh at my danny jokes.

Donna was our friend, Donna was on a mission and Donna was an angel on Earth.

Rest in peace, we love you and will see you again .  Amen.

Donna’s life was one of beauty.

Donna went to God rejoycing, oh the beauty she must have seen.  We will miss you honey.

Victory is her’s now. I just know it 🙂

De Colores !! Donna

Love,

Danny and Janet
