Approaching the Father
How do we approach the Living One? How can we possibly speak to God?
How do we bridge the gulf between our poor humanity and his Divinity – from our unlimited selfishness to his Infinite Goodness? read more…
“Come to Me”
Jesus says:
“You cannot reconcile the Kingdom of God with the kingdom of Satan. You cannot simultaneously satisfy the flesh and the spirit. You must choose.
“I have given you intelligence so that you can choose. I have given you light so that you can see. I have given you love so that you can guide yourselves. And I have given you freedom, for your existence would not otherwise have merit. You have erred ten, a hundred, a thousand times. read more…
Friendship with Christ
Would that you would be hot or cold
Because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth
It is easier to ask God for help with those things that fit the typical categories of petition and prayer than it is to bring those deeply disturbing or embarrassing situations to him. But to only ask for isolated needs every now and then points to a relationship with Christ that is fairly distant. read more…
Why God Created Man
God’s secret intention behind creation
Mary’s role in the grand scheme of things
Jesus himself explains:
God desired to put a king in the universe that He had created out of nothing. A king, who by the nature of matter should be the first amongst all the creatures created with matter and endowed with matter. A king, who by nature of the spirit should be little less than divine, united to Grace as he was in his first innocent day. read more…
God Speaks
Are you listening?
Looking in the mirror with the One who loves.
When God is teaching us about ourselves, it so important to take little breaths or breaks in our thinking, in the conclusions we draw and our eventual response.
Too often we reject the lesson God wishes to give because of the particular pain point involved. read more…
Let Christ In. Let Him Bring You Out.
If you could cut through all the clutter and super-structures of your life—of your own making and not …. If you could step outside of the world you’ve constructed for temporary comfort and sanity …. If you could strip away the insulation that keeps you from hearing the groaning of your soul …
…then maybe you could find that holy ground buried deep within where you can have a true encounter with the Divine.
A Masterpiece of Love
You can go through life limping, timid, afraid, tentative, uncertain, blustering, bullying, manipulating or whatever your favorite crutch or prop is.
Or, you can go through life with grace and confidence.
But go through life and confront your highly individualized and personal challenges you must. How you choose to do so is up to you.
Why not make it a beautiful thing? A masterpiece of love.
Lord, help me to be me the way you created me to be. How holy is that?
Why the New Evangelization is So Critical
Tearing Down the Veil of Deception
Time to turn the lights on
In God’s far-reaching vision and perfect grasp of future events, He knows what his faithful and those in danger of losing his friendship will need to survive in each period of history with their souls intact.
The New Evangelization that so many are trying to understand and embrace was definitely God’s idea prepared long in advance for such times as these, and it must come about with increasing spiritual power as well as widespread use of all media. read more…

Stop Fuming and Fussing and Get on with Your Life
You have everything you need to fulfill your purpose.
Thank God and Don’t Waste another Moment
If we could understand one fact, if we could but broaden our perspective, think bigger and let love have its way with us, we could eliminate so many unnecessary disturbances among ourselves. And not only that, but we could also help each other realize our better selves with greater peace and joy. read more…
