It’s easy in these days of fear, panic, and isolation to be angry, with our family, our leaders, or our God. It’s easy to say, “Woe is me!” as you are stuck at home on your couch with nothing to do. It’s easy to just “go to class” and watch your favorite streaming service afterwards. It’s easy to just give up. But that’s not what St. Thomas Aquinas did, and that’s not what we should do either.

I want heaven so much more than this cruel world. I didn’t pray to die like I did last Thanksgiving when I was so sick, but I was tempted.

Does this mean men have an excuse not to attend, get involved, or raise their families in the Faith? Absolutely not, in fact, the opposite is required. Sometimes we must look at the positives that shine through the difficulties.

When you meet someone who you want to help to know the love of God make sure to find out what they love. Is it sports? Is it books? Is it theatre? Is it democrats or republicans? Is it gardens?…

Where was my truth coming from? How could I ask hundreds of people I would meet to read the bible before bed and before breakfast if I wasn’t actively doing that?

Home is a four-letter word that people either regard with fond memories and can’t wait to visit or view as a foreign land of which they were once a part. For me, it’s the latter…

Why would St. Paul make a point of instructing the troubled Roman church to practice this habit? Because it bonds people, connects them in love, and requires them to listen well and care for one another.

I don’t know about you reader, but I get so caught up in trying to figure out how to please God and do His will, that I forget that He is already rejoicing just in my existence!

Does the idea of being resilient seem far-fetched or even impossible? Achieving resilience may not be what you are thinking.

Many may be wondering, like me, “What should I do? What can I do? What is the right thing to do?” And to answer these questions simply – the Christian is called to love.

“Remind yourself that the life of grace is not about being fair; it’s about being generous....abundantly.”

"The Lord will fight for you; you have only to keep still." Exodus 14:14. This is a rather beautiful bible verse do you not agree? But what does it mean?

By the grace of God I was never successful; but for 132 Americans each day these thoughts overtake them and they succeed at one of the greatest tragedies known to man: suicide

The hardest part about our friendship was when we went from seeing each other every day to not seeing each other for eight months. She went off to serve at a summer camp, and I went off to serve as a missionary. It was one of the hardest things for the both of us…

Does your life fit into this world? Does it make sense? Do you know why you are here and where you are going? If not, it is probably because you have not heard and taken to heart the loving voice of the Father. It is He who fulfills you.

One genre of generosity that is often overlooked is vulnerability. In being vulnerable, you are generous with your wounds. This is more than words or things, but your very self on the line.

What if there is life after this short time we have on earth? What if Heaven exists? Will you be ready? You see, if you chase after things on this earth you will fail! You will never be successful enough, good enough, popular enough, or attractive enough because there’s always going to be someone with more advantages than you.

In a split second, it was too late for such a plan, as I slipped off the rock that I was standing on and into the rushing currents. Now, at this moment, it would have made the most sense for me to freak out. Yell!?! Scream for help!!! DO SOMETHING!!!! But I didn’t. Instead, I was noticing the trees around me, the beautiful sky, and birds flying overhead.

Well, this one cool guy named Pope St. John Paul ll added a new group of mysteries to the previous three (Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious). In October of 2002, the “Luminous” mysteries were added.

Adventus literally means “coming” or “arrival.” So yes, the word refers to the preparation or the coming of Christ in Christmas, but it also has another meaning for the second coming of Christ
