Stepping on the Serpent: A Parish Mission Pt. 2 – “Distrust”
This past Lent I had the joy of presenting a mission on my upcoming book Stepping on the Serpent: The Journey of Trust with Mary at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Converse, Texas. In preparation for the official release of the book on Oct. 5, the Feast of St. Faustina Kowalska, every Thursday I will post a presentation from the mission.
In this week’s presentation, I talk about what distrust is and why Jesus said to St. Faustina, “Distrust on the part of souls is tearing at My insides” (Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, 50). Please share with your friends and loved ones!

1 Peter 1:1-2
I am beginning to study and meditate on 1 Peter for my own personal evening meditation and wanted to share some of its fruits today – meditating on verses 1-2.
As a conclusion to the end: how often do we wish people “grace and peace in abundance” (rather than “have a good day”)? Have we received that “grace and peace in abundance” such that we can not only wish it to others but in fact share and give it to them?
