Jesus reminds us that those who give freely of themselves without expecting anything in return will receive their reward at the resurrection from the dead.
Jesus Christ
Let Me Love You
“Let me love you,” I heard Jesus softly say last Saturday night after receiving Him in Holy Communion. I knew in an instant I was going to cry; He was extending His hand to me and offering His peace to replace the pain I had been avoiding all week long.
St. Jerome, Priest and Doctor
St. Jerome was heavily interested in classical literature and worldly culture as a young man—not a ready-made saint, by any means. He was baptized in Rome at about age twenty. His conversion to Christ eventually set his heart ablaze for not only a thirst for the truth but an ardent zeal for guarding and transmitting it.
Day’s End Bits and Pieces
It struck me that being an insatiable news junkie in an era when news, its sources and veracity are questionable, perhaps, I could put my curiosity to better use. Are we Catholics as interested in Jesus as we are in Hollywood divorces, Trump’s rhetoric, Hillary’s excuses, football players taking a knee, end times predictions, or who’s been picked up for speeding? If not, why not?
Stories Human and Divine
Life is the mystery that humans face before the contemplation of the human condition, engaged in its virulent struggle for life, its combat for existence in the affirmation of their rights, and which finds its ultimate fulfillment in the Incarnate Word of God whose love has restored all things.
