Real Intimacy
It is possible to know God so closely, so intimately, that you know His presence just as you do for any family member or friend of the heart.
We are the force for change
“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think the wide circle of the American Society, or the wide circle of the Christian Community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist.”…
Weeding the garden of the soul
Weeds can grow an immensely powerful underground root structure, difficult to remove without harming the good plants. It is important to nurture the good in our souls and prevent even the smallest of weeds to enter lest they choke out the good altogether.
Imitating the Mother of God
What do Advent, Christmas, and the Holy Family all have in common? Mary, Mother of God. She gives us the standard and practice for holiness. We admire the standard, but do we stop to think about putting this into practice?
Being ready
We have this opportunity of Advent to empty ourselves, to be fully ordered towards Him. To be aware, ready to fully embrace Him, and enjoy a profoundly-changed life that only Jesus can give.
The Joy of Giving
By reclaiming God’s love for ourselves, we can discover the joy of giving to others in this Advent season.
Silence
Like a leaf in a slow dance with the Wind, we are carried in the breath of God even in the turmoil. Preparing for Advent in Silence
Beginning anew
Imperfect: as long as we keep trying, we still get to be part of that incredible orchestra conducted by God, through whom all imperfection is made beautiful.
Joseph, Mary and Me
In 2006, driving south on the freeway, a vehicle three times the size of mine pulled into my lane and should have wiped us off the face of the planet. St. Joseph stopped them and saved our lives.
A mother’s love
It is not an exaggeration to say that there have been few times in history where our own holiness is so desperately needed. The way to Jesus is through Mary, and the moment to begin to know her is now.
