What a disappointment- no sound for my favorite minister, Dr. Caliandro. On line I go to Marble Collegiate Church every Sunday and have ever since he was on TV. And, I miss him. Please fix the sound! Submitted By: Jane MacWilliams

I had a minor injury that turned into a chronic pain syndrome the past 2 1/2 years. Many tests ruled out diseases ,yet every day the pain is there.It moves and causes problems in many different areas of my body. I fluctuate between prayer and what is this teaching me and anger and wanting it gone. I have learned a lot from this, not all of it good, but it is something that teaches me more about the human condition,every day. I have spent my life in healing professions , helping others and I think I thought that would insulate me from ever being in the position I am in. A lot of the good work I did, I can no longer do. So I just pray for the strength and wisdom to be with what is and be at peace with that. Submitted By: valerie

Chronic, daily pain is very challenging and I must admit that I do not always handle it well. The other night when it was keeping me awake, I finally realized how much I was resisting it and I said to myself, "Let my pain become my prayer." I was immediately overcome with compassion for all the pain in this world. It was as if Mother Earth and all creation was pulsing inside me and comforting me. My body relaxed and sleep ensued.

Your message touched me, Barbara, and I do ask God's special blessing on you this day. Your comments were very beautiful and I think of friends, getting older like me, who live with pain every day.... Submitted By: Gwen

Normally I don't respond to any type of video or post on line. However, this hits home, this had affected me for years. This message can be applied to so many situations, this could be why you are doing some thngs that you don't want to do...even againist your own will...even when its destuctive. There is usually something we are holding on to. Lot of time, we are in denial about it; I beg you to view it and give it some thought. Submitted By: Leon Gulley

"Untie It" by Rev. Caliandro makes a superbly simple but powerful point. What a great reminder for us all to let go of those things from the past that hold us back or no longer work for us. So too does his message remind us, then, to free ourselves in order to be our best selves and true selves. Thank you for sharing this wonderful message. WA Submitted By: William Alexander

The idea of welcoming ourselves back from where ever we have been during our nightly rest touches me deeply. I am fortunate that I live in the Caribbean and so each morning I welcome myself back from my travels with a walk along the beach or into the hills or simply along a dirt road where cows are also welcoming me and the new day. I voice my gratitude for being able to walk, for having a companion, for being able to see the sun rise over the Atlantic and illuminate my little island and the Caribbean Sea. This ritual does indeed feed my soul. Submitted By: Cherie

For me, the three most beautiful words in the English language are "I hear you," not "I love you." We can commit to "hearing" the other without always agreeing with him or her. Submitted By: Carol Ann
