About Robert Lindberg

I am a convert to Catholicism and that has been the best thing ever in my life. I am currently in formation for the Diaconate in the Diocese of Austin. I have been married for 28 years to my wife Linda. I have 6 children and 2 grandchildren. I believe that we are all on a journey of discipleship. Some of us move slower than others. All that matters is that you are moving in the right direction. You can contact me at: Robert@DiscipleOnAjourney.org

Can we give without cost? Probably. Most of us can, at least some of the time. We can freely do or give to others. But, can we do this without even measuring the cost? It is this inner attitude of heart that I am interested in exploring today. It is […]

As I read today’s readings the word authority keeps jumping out at me. There is an underlying theme of authority present in the readings this week and today we read in the gospel that Jesus summons the twelve disciples and gives them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out […]

In November of 2015 as part of my formation to the diaconate, we were trained in a way to answer Pope Francis’ call to go to the periphery and to preach the gospel. We were trained that day by the people from St. Paul Street Evangelization. Adam Janke did a wonderful […]

From the second reading of the fourth Sunday of Lent we read: For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light Ephesians 5:8 I have been thinking about this idea of being darkness all week, wondering what God was trying to […]

So, I haven’t written in a while. My only excuse is that my studies have kept me pretty busy lately. Anyway, I thought I would write a little something today as we are about half way through Lent. This has turned into quite the Lenten journey for me. You see, […]

Emmanuel, God is with us. Ever since the fall, the Israelites have been looking for a savior, a messiah. In spite of the words of the prophets, the Israelites were looking for a warrior, a king to come and set them free. But God, in the fullness of time, fulfills […]

The Word comes to us. The Word came to Elizabeth. The Word Incarnate came first to Mary and Mary brought the Word to Elizabeth. As St. Ambrose so beautifully explains, when Mary comes to Elizabeth there was a human and divine connection. An immediate connection of humanity between Mary and […]
