The Walk of Light

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

What is it that we call you to this morning?

I love this experience that I live, up in the morning for the PrayerLine, Podcasts, prayers, exercise, sunshine, mass and work with You ever step. I know all these things reflect my purpose and mission in life. I have this Morning Prayer below going now as I accept this wonderful experience Jesus has created for me. Like yesterday I knew I had certain works to do. 

After class Thursday night, I stopped to get gas at Sam's and noticed my front tire really low. So in the cold morning I realized I needed to drive into Mass and get my truck checked and change the oil again. Yes, no oil change for a year or so. Last Sunday, I had a text message reminder from Bob Lee's, and I knew it was a blessing for me to step into. I drove in to catch the sunrise. It was so strong and clear. A child was there with his mom, and he could feel and see I was in Christ. He came over a few times to watch and I stayed very focused on my task never greeting him….

Then in Mass as Saint Raphaels this sunshine was hitting my face again, and again I shared the power and blessing with everyone I could. It always feels like a great blessing for everyone in the building. Of course, Anna called that very moment so I snapped these pictures.

Yes, I always sit in the back corner right next to the door, usually parking my bike right outside. Friday, I drove in and made coffee for the men's prayer group and got to mass as it started. Then in our prayer meeting Scott was speaking about his morning SEEL lessons about being deep in the light. And these ideas about light came in to him from our prayer readings as well. So I explained how God loves to align everything together to make it crystal clear about our own place and responsibility whenever he calls us to do more. Clearly, Scott was being called!

Sometimes I wonder about this men’s group, since I have never been able to talk much and never seem to be respected whenever I do. I'm not sure if this is a dad trauma thing again or not. Again I realize I am growing and learning all the time. Like today on the prayerline, I had another caller who recognized he was really given what he asked for.  It was interesting as he had a concept of God and had survived years of trauma to make it here. And now suddenly had the new responsibility of stepping into his Dreams. Of course, I was able to explain details about this specific experience as I found myself dealing with it too.

Yes, like this message I found here too, where someone who called has spoken to me before. So clearly I'm in the right place at the right time. It’s really remarkable how all these things come together and make perfect sense.  Like now, I just spoke to my son again and explained how blessed I feel teaching what I teach again. . . 

Course, I told him about how remarkable it is to be back in the same place again. Like I started out of high school here in this same work, and so now I feel like a little kid in high school again. Course biking everywhere is like high school too, and doing all the morning exercises that I never did in high school. 

What about doing this again now. You’ve not missed the exercises this new year yet. You missed Mass a few times now, but to make it consistent you might want to do them now. And yes you also know it’s better for you to do things three times a week. Like St Pauls three times, St Raphaels three times. Prayerline three times, fasting three times a week. So it seem right to do the exercises three times as well.

I thought you wanted me to get up and do them now.

What you need to do now if finish the models.You got deeper into things and understand more. So send these results and rerun things to bring clarity and which helps with everything. Like your classes, you are doing more, shifting new things for everyone. You are pushing more deeply every day. And you know this, you recognize how much each post you create impacts everyone in your class, trust and move forward.w

THE NEW EVANGELIZATION, BUILDING THE CIVILIZATION OF LOVE

Address to Catechists and Religion Teachers

December 12, 2000 (Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe)! 
Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is the rewrite of the Morning Prayer where every mention of difficulty or negativity is reversed into a positive affirmation of strength and presence:

Morning Prayer: The Walk of Light

Good morning, Lord! Thank You for the gift of this new day and for the clarity to see Your path ahead for me, I joyfully reach for Your hand, knowing that every moment is an opportunity to walk in Your company. I release all heavy weights and embrace the lightness of Your guidance, trusting the same God who painted the sunrise to direct my steps.

Father, I step into this morning with Your divine strength. I Enjoy the days many surprises, I am confident because You are with me; I am strong, courageous, and filled with peace. I move through my morning with patience, no hurry, fully savoring Your love even in the simplest moments.

In every conversation, I speak life. Sharing Your deep breath of grace and let my words bring encouragement to everyone I meet. When tasks feel significant, I am renewed with energy, doing everything as an offering to You.

I master my emotions today.  I turn toward Your light. I move worship each moment and find the truth of Your promises. My mind is a place of peace, filled with thoughts that are good, pure, and lovely.

In my decisions, I choose wisdom and ease in Your love without hesitation. I am grateful for Your provision, knowing that my soul is satisfied by Your presence. When I look at the world or use technology, I see my own unique opportunities and trust that You are in complete control.

I meet every challenge with grace and stay calm, knowing You work brings all things onto good. I embrace rest as a source of strength, finding true renewal in You. I choose to forgive, to apologize with courage, and to see everyone through Your eyes of compassion.

Lord, Your grace is more than sufficient. I am enough because You are in me. I choose gratitude and persistence. My day is an offering of worship, seeing Your beauty and blessings in every detail.

I trust Your perfect timing, even when plans change, knowing Your thoughts for me are to prosper me and give me a hope-filled future. I have a teachable heart, growing through every experience into the person You created me to be. My body is renewed; I run and do not grow weary.

I am never alone, for Your unconditional love surrounds me and defines who I am. I surrender my dreams to You, watching them flourish in Your perfect way. From my first breath to my last today, I live overwhelmed by the love You have already given me.

I lie down in peace, sleeping well under Your watchful eye. I love You, Lord, and I walk forward as a reflection of Your kindness.

Amen.

accept it and understand place and responsibility

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

We have really been impressed. You are taking more and more time to be very careful and listen. Like even now you are being slow and determined in each scribble you make knowing where your iPad has learned to fix what you write. Again your experience and efforts to make these words clear and precise are paying off. You are also being more careful and slow to write in your paper journal books as well. These books will more easily be scanned to add to your blogs. . . .

I am so very grateful to have this opportunity and experience to share with you. I know all things are coming to a close as more and more people come into your spirit and accept this life with you. I have really come to see and understand so much more each day. It's really remarkable for me, but I know it's all coming together exactly as it must.

this is a wonderful prayer . . . you’re leading every step Lord, cover my conversations with your shadow, when I talk to my family over breakfast, when I chat with the cashier at the store, when I have that important meeting this afternoon, let your presence season every word!  Help me speak life into peoples hearts the way spring rain speaks life into sleeping seeds! Hide me in the shadow of your wings today, not because I want to disappear, because I want to stay close enough to feel your heartbeat! Lord I’m tucking my family under your shadow, as you do know each of them by name, you know their dreams, and their secret worries, you know what makes them laugh until they can’t breathe. God place your shadow over my home.

I love your Word! This prayer Anna shared is really wonderful. 6:41am 2/1/2026, but it’s too cold to bike and I whine about it! Time to exercise again, got dressed and raced out.

What A wonderful way to start your morning. You listened to this prayer three times, did your Exodus 90, did your Charles Stanley, and on the ground for the 20x. And then Anna calls you as you’re putting on your wool socks thinking that you were gonna bike anyway. Wow, you still almost got frostbitten. And now, like we told you, you’re gonna go to mass again anyway… we told you to skip it, but you wanted to go anyway!

I know Your Word! But I still fumble around not sure, never sure, always wanting to do more for you! It’s really just incredible sometimes. I know I have to follow through with every detail. It’s like as soon as I got home I knew I had to run the models for Mike again. I just finished and sent them as Alex called to confirm mass this morning. Thank you so much dear Jesus, I feel so blessed all the time to step into this more and more with you. 

Like Anna called just as I was putting on my socks, getting ready to go. And then she called again just as mass was ending, which was just perfect timing again. Of course, I shared with her everything I can because we’re both doing the same thing, getting closer and closer to the end of a rainbow carrying our cross…. Knowing we are with Jesus, safe and sound ready for everything that comes up to us.

Again this experience is more about you stepping into the position where you belong. It’s not always crystal clear for you and it never will be. However, this passion and truth that you are and that you share will become stronger and more focused every day as you step forward.

This will always be a challenge for me, as I try to accept and understand the steps before me. I know it all comes together in peace and ease, through the Love of Christ. And I try not to get distracted or confused with the challenges before me, where I stay open for the guidance, but then also focused on key tasks before me. I also struggle with all the details and steps involved with these tasks. I accept it and understand my place and responsibility. Each day I learn more and step into more and more of Your Tasks before me. I accept these challenges and understand my place more and more each day. So now again I realize I have so much more work to do. I am so very grateful and blessed to have more time with you. And I know my writing and work here with you has some limits.

Watch for more opportunities to share your love and light with more people around you in all these events. 

I love your Word! The 10 plagues to Egypt, each plague over the 10 Egyptian gods, ray sun god, darkness of the sun, Lord God showing power over all of Egypt . . . .  And also to get the lies of Egypt out of the Jewish hearts. Releasing the people from the lies of Egypt. To serve and worship god requires Moses to take all they are, cattle and possessions to serve. How can we serve you. The blood of the eternal covenant, to God.

It’s more in this every day. Reading Leviticus were the priests of Israel who destroyed the golden calf with Moses.  And it really teaches us how we all get lost in false gods and worshipping something dead and useless instead of trusting and loving in Christ to Worship and honor what is right and true for all of us. 

Wow, jim buzzed me again inviting me out to Mass and lunch at Saint Anthony’s Hospital where he works. And so after Mass, he tells me they had some pharmaceutical rep bring in lunch for them . . . And they brought in “two lunches” by mistake so there was a ton of food there. Course let’s walk back and save some cash, always sounds like a good idea to me

What we have seen is so much coming together so strong and clear. Each day that you accept the tasks before you and step into these actions and duties you are given, then more of the world comes in tune. Again you are sure affecting a lot more than what’s at hand. These simple steps before you seem almost meaningless, but each has long ranging implications and impacts.

Anna’s friend Marilou is teaching me about the Latin Mass and the Affinity of St. Peter, and the Institute of Christ the King. I’ve been exploring, studying, reading the Bible, doing Exodus 90 the morning podcasts, Society of St Joseph… yes each day I’ve been getting deeper and stronger into more of God’s Word, Insight, Truth and Understanding. Each Day I’m challenged and each day I step forward and do more and more. Lol, yes Fr Mike Schmitz Day 34 I just completed now 8:04:44am 2/3/2026 reading Exodus 12, Leviticus 9, and Psalm 114. And I’ve realized this Ascension Bible in a Year reading with Fr. Mike is really expanding the Mass Readings where we read a bit of the Old Testament, a Psalm, and then a bit of the New Testament.

What a joy this is to share and teach you more each day. Your work to stay focused and clear with us really opens so much more for you. Even this morning meeting the Society of St. Joseph men who visit your Exodus Brothers at Saint Raphael’s. Encouraging and supporting their growth and experience is a great blessing for all. Know you are doing what is best, be at Peace!

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.
