I Make All Things New: A Reflection on The Healing Power of Christ

May 24, 2019 by Jessica Ptomey, Ph.D Leave a Comment

I make all things new

I have brokenness, and I have loved ones with brokenness. Whatever our response has been to the brokenness in our world, we need to inhale deeply of the truth that our Lord is the one who is making all things new.

Lent is a season of repentance and conversion. It’s a time to listen to God’s voce. That’s no news for practicing Catholics. However, many Catholics might be quite surprised by the particular message God has in store for them.

Joy of Fellow Readers

Through the experience of creating The Catholic Reading Challenge podcast, I have realized an important universal truth: Not only do all people love good stories, but they also want someone with whom to share them.

The Joy of Needing Others

January 18, 2019 by Jessica Ptomey, Ph.D Leave a Comment

Help Wanted

I wonder if we realize that we have been so formed by a culture of individualism and self-reliance that we find ourselves in bondage to it. We see ourselves as our own individual boats, not part of a fleet. Have we missed the main point: our lives find meaning in God’s story, which is the very best story?

“The Wonderful Time” — All Year

December 27, 2018 by Jessica Ptomey, Ph.D Leave a Comment

Nativity, Birth of Christ, Incarnation, birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

It’s the octave of Christmas—”the most wonderful time of the year.” I’m taking some moments these days to consider why this time of year is full of wonder…and also why the wonder is often overlooked.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
