My sisters and brothers, our podcast today is about the teachings our Lord instills in us, and our podcast song is, ‘Teach Me Lord’. The story behind our song is about a Baby Christain wanting to know everything, and yes, I am that baby Christain. I hear your thoughts my friends, right now you are thinking, wasn’t she a teenager once and didn’t she know everything as a teen? Yes, perhaps I did, or at the very least thought I did. And now you’re thinking, what happened? Right? I became an adult is what happened, and the smarts I had, or thought I had, was very short lived. Young adults and young parents alike are discovering that they never stop learning. And as both a young adult and young parent in my late twenties, I was indeed on this path of Knowing, that I, did not know everything! And that I never will! As I mentioned, this Baby Christain wanted to know everything. I had a longing inside me that kept my heart searching to know more, I was attending daily Mass, going to teachings, going to prayer groups. In fact, our parish Deacon, my very dear friend, Mickey, (who has a powerful love for the book of Psalms), and I, the three of us, would hold prayer meetings in our Church. I loved these. Still, my heart longed for more, and yet it seemed the more I learned about the Lord, the less I knew, and I just could not quench this hunger and thirst inside me. I was also going to Father Bill’s and Sister Bernadette’s Holy Spirit Breakfast every week, where my thirst for the Lord did not only fill my soul, but kept growing more and more. Then the Lord reminded me that through the waters He will save me, He told me not to be afraid for He will be my strength. He is greater than life. He is all Mighty God. And I knew that I would make it through with the Lord, for with the Lord, all things are possible. You see, my Dependence truly is on the Lord! And this is how our song was created. Amen.
