The Wild Goose Is Loose

Family, FaithKurt FillaFebruary 14, 2019Faith, miracles, holy Spirit, wild goose is loose, Fr dave PivonkaComment

The Wild Goose Is Loose is a ministry of Fr Dave Pivonka. TOR, who is a nationally known author and speaker.. The video series is free online and I highly recommend going through these videos for anyone who would like to deepen their faith and their relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Videos are high quality, heartfelt, biblical and offer a truly inspiring presentation of the Holy Spirit and His role in our life and the life of the Church.

This series is both powerful and life-changing, in fact, God works through Fr Dave’s ministry in ways that are beyond our comprehensions. Let me share a story.

Last fall, 2018, I was inspired to send my cousin a link to Fr Dave Pivonka’s series on the Holy Spirit. My cousin Diane put Segment 1 on in the car and went out to do 2 errands. For her first stop she planned to visit a Catholic supply store in Ballwin MO to get a christening gift for her Grandchild, and stop 2 was to Sam's Club. As anyone who has heard these tapes can understand, she was deeply moved and inspired and decided to change her route and go to Sam's Club first and the Catholic Shopped second. This would give her more time to finish listening to Segment 1 in the car as Sam’s was a bit further away. This decision made out of love for God and pursuit of heaven would be a decision that saved her life. When she finished at Sam's and made her way to the Catholic Supply Shoppe, she arrived alongside an Ambulance and dozen cop cars who descended upon the store as the same time! There had been a sexual assault and a shooting in the store while she was at Sam’s Club. Think about this, What if she said no to the promptings and desires to continue listening to these talks? What if she had decided not to keep listening to this talk and followed her own plans? What if I had cast aside my prompting to invite her to listen to these tapes that day? What if I said “maybe another time?” I want to encourage you that today is the Day! Now is the moment! Seize the day and live it for God so that others can experience God's blessings through you. I was deeply saddened by the news that one of the women shot that day died! I am Saddened for the other women in the store who were sexually assualted. But I rejoice that there was not additional suffering, that my cousin was spared and that God's hand was at work literally saving her life.

My Catholic Faith

I see my justification as a free gift of God, given to me by the grace which was merited by the Cross, the death and Resurrection of Christ. That I have been predestined, called, justified and will be glorified as one of the elect by God's will through faith, apart from works.

Count your Anathema’s

Now while counting the number of anathema’s that one presumes to be under may sound like a fun and somewhat comical way to pass the time, I was surprised to see that there is still so much misunderstanding out there about the Catholic Churches view toward our Protestant brothers and sisters who are under no anathema.

The Grand Rapids Symphony

Grand Rapids has so much to offer when it comes to having a wonderful night out with friends, family or that special someone in your life. You don’t have to go far to have a “perfect” date night. Anneleisa and I love our date nights at the Grand Rapids Symphony. The caliber of musicians, our conductors or guest conductors and touring artists are world class and critically acclaimed. We are blessed to have such a wonderful, musical, cultural opportunity in our backyard

Catholicism and Scripture

Hence there exists a close connection and communication between sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture. For both of them, flowing from the same divine wellspring, in a certain way merge into a unity and tend toward the same end. For Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit, while sacred tradition takes the word of God entrusted by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, and hands it on to their successors in its full purity.

Brothers And Sisters of Charity

“The rule of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity is the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should be troubled about nothing except this all encompassing rule. All that matters is that one be created anew”
