Humiliation Becomes Purification - Reflection on Feast of St. Benedict
God Plus Nothing: The High Places We Still Keep
Saint Romuald: When Zeal Must Enter the Cell
Saint Romuald pray for us.
Stay Close and Remain Faithful
Perhaps God is not asking most of us to do something extraordinary.
Perhaps he is asking us to remain loyal—to stay close to the Church, receive the sacraments, repent when we fall, fulfill the duties placed before us, and trust him.
Saint Paul VI — The Pope Who Carried Vatican II into the Church’s Hands
Saint Rita, Mirror of Spouses A Reflection on Her Life and How She Has Impacted Mine
Saint Rita, mirror of spouses, patroness of impossible causes, pray for us.
Pray for husbands and wives.
Pray for wounded families.
Pray for parents trying to raise children with peace.
Pray for those who carry hidden crosses in the home. Pray that we may forgive without becoming foolish, endure without becoming numb, and love without losing sight of truth.
And when the cause feels impossible, help us remember that nothing is impossible for God.
Saint Bernardine of Siena and the Interior Bonfire
Saint Bernardine of Siena reminds us that every Catholic home needs an interior bonfire. Not only a cleaning of the house, but a clearing of the mind, imagination, habits, and influences that quietly form us. In an age of advertising, gambling, public image, and endless distraction, his witness calls fathers and families to place the Holy Name of Jesus back at the center.
