I believe in the power of God’s beauty. Allow the gift of His beauty to strengthen you throughout your days like He did for the apostles. Take notice of the sunshine and spring flowers.

Thank you Jesus for this Pizza or Little Blessings

Thank You Jesus by Lauren Heaton

Have you ever truly praised Jesus for pizza? Now, I understand that is an odd question to begin with. I am sure many of us have said that we love pizza, or we’ve enjoyed the taste of goooood pizza, or maybe even have jokingly said, “Thank you, sweet Jesus, for this pizza.”

Turning Tables

March 3, 2017 by Lauren Heaton 1 Comment

Lauren Heaton in Austria, 2017

This lent I encourage you not to give up or add on a number of things as a way to earn God’s love. I don’t want to count my rosaries or try to put a value on my offering of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. I don’t want to estimate these sacrifices’ worth in God’s eyes because I know myself and I will automatically equate their worth to my own worth in His eyes.

8 Easy Ways to Grow Closer to God this Christmas

December 31, 2015 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

The creation of Adam

One mistake Christians sometimes make is they pray an Our Father or a Hail Mary, but do not really open their heart and communicate with God. In the first place, prayer is primarily a communication between you and God. Don’t leave yourself and your heart out of it!

Christmas and The Theological Virtue of Faith

December 29, 2015 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

The theological virtue of faith is God's gift to man

Contemplating the true meaning of Christmas is only possible through God’s freely bestowed gift of faith. This gift, one to be nourished, guarded and cherished above even temporal life itself, gives to the soul new light, aspirations, and abilities, each ordered toward the attainment of the treasure of infinite value: the beatific vision and everlasting communion with God.

Quote of The Day

“We have a Catholic will when we love God and obey God, love the Church and obey the Church. We have a Catholic intellect when we live consciously in the presence of the realities that God through His Church has revealed”—Frank Sheed

St. (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta

“Abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace today.”

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)
