    Janelle, I can understand your impatience. I have a special needs sister whom I love very much. By the end of the weekend, I was frazzled and lacked PATIENCE! I was lacking obedience to God. It was at the grocery store as well. So I know if you can do it, so can I. Thank you Ken and Janelle for all these wonderful videos that seem to hit so close to home. May God Bless you both!

    Ken, today's Catholic Minute was very philosophical and very true. It was good I had my coffee with me as I listened, it was literally and figuratively very awakening.

    Very True As a Catholic,Our Freedom has to begin with God's will and end with his will,For his greater Glory. We misuse our freewill which God has given us if we start making decisions and choices according to worldly standards.Without obedience we can't please God ,& and find ouself in Spiritual n personal mess.

    Where else can we find such beauty and Truth expressed for every day living? Ken and Janelle, your wisdom is from the Holy Spirit. Even from the pulpit we are not always hearing such clear messages of our Catholic Faith and how to live out our faith day to day. Bless and protect you and your family. I find myself crying hearing this video. You’re guidance is much needed in todays world and I’m so so grateful to you both!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

    I needed to hear this! I definitely have days where I feel "done" and lose my patience, and choose to have my coffee or listen to a talk instead of tending to the needs of our kids. And at the end of the day I usually feel awful, instead of revived. The guilt of not spending that time with them when I wasn't actually busy lingers. It's not a good feeling. This reflection was a good reminder to pay attention to what my duty is in the moment, and to be obedient to it. Thank again.

    It is so hard having a neighbor making noises like dropping dumbbells above your ceiling and waking you up early in the morning when you haven’t had a good nights rest. This happens often. I’ve done all I could put a transfer to the third floor and still no openings plus looking for a different place to move out of here rent is so high and much more. What to do. Lord give me the grace to be obedience because I can’t only with you Lord I can. Thank you Ken and Janelle! Like I said, once before, diamonds are made under pressure.

    This reflection pairs perfectly with Ascension's Day 72 Bible in a Year. We don't do what God calls us to do but what we want or what we think is right. Not what God commands. Not God's will. Our will. How many of us have strayed from His will for our will... our family's will, our neighbor's will, our government's will. But not God's will. What is God's will? First. Foremost. Are we teaching that to our children (even adult children) and our grandchildren... even adults?

    Oh who I need patience. I also need guidance. Helping others of course, but what do you do in the process of someone is abusing your help? If you lend your weedeater to someone and they do not return it. Then they ask to “borrow” your lawn mower and do not return it. The list goes on and on. Your help others but there are those out there that take and take. Givers must put limits because takers have none. So where is the line crossed from helping others to being used. It is a gray area. If we do not help, will God be upset? Does the rule of 7 times, 77 times 777 times apply here?

    What I find funny and not at all funny actually is when if you make a list of the order of things in the grocery store if there's no use because often they change things around in the store and make you run around looking for it anyway
