Are you living for something that is worth the cost of your life?
You have to see in order to know what you're looking at! Can you see? Are you confident in what—in who—you are looking at?
Are you a Christian? “To you who hear, I say…”
Blessed are the hungry…really?! What are you hungering for? Where do you go to satiate your hunger?
Jesus “made a public spectacle” of sin and death, “leading them away in triumph.” The people of Tyre and Sidon came to hear Him and to be healed. Why do you come to Him?
“You Bethlehem, too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel…He shall be peace.” God chooses and looks for what the world does not. His peace is not found where the world gathers!
“In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.” Celebrating the canonization of St. Carlo Acutis for the age of today!
Mother Teresa made space for God in her life. She was focused on listening to God. People who listen to God always receive Him with fresh wineskins.
Simon Peter doesn't seem to realize how much Jesus sees of him. Do you know how much Jesus sees of you and in you? Don't be afraid!
Jesus wants your attention because He wants you to hear the good news of the Kingdom of God! Does He have your attention?
It is the devil who is convinced that God is a taker—a destroyer—NOT a giver of life.
Is the Spirit of the Lord and His anointing on me? Do I have an awareness of how God is winking at me? You do NOT have Him figured out!
A humble person stands in truth. Do I live in the truth that: 1. God is alive 2. I am poor, crippled, lame, and blind. 3. Despite all of this, I am perfectly loved
St. John the Baptist died as he lived. “He must increase, I must decrease.” The greatest man born of woman became a “holy nobody.” May we as well.
Never give up! If you never give up on the God who never gives up on you, you will become a saint.
In order for us to be healed by the Divine Physician, we must first let Him diagnose us.
Is it more important, more beautiful, to be holy, or to look holy?
Gates don't move! Strive to enter through the narrow one.
God and His Church love in a very maternal way; in a way that is rather pathetic and utterly beautiful. God wants us home with Him.
The fundamental reason for my unhappiness is me. Looking at myself is the way to slavery and insecurity. “Are you envious because He is generous?”
Renewal always comes from within; from commitment to lived friendship with God. This is why material wealth can be spiritually dangerous for us and for the Church.
1st rule for seeking the treasure of Heaven: Don't be dumb! The battle for your family has already begun. Who/what do you worship? Who/what holds your attention?
He has come to cast holy fire upon us and upon our university! He has come to fill us—His treasure—with an abundance of His love.
My life is not about “me”; it is about listening to Love, and moving with Him.
Mary listens, trusts, and receives. Do I? What can I learn from her heart?
God bless Joshua! He withstood the interior movement of false martyrdom; of false victimhood. True martyrdom is rooted in listening to Love.
The most important people in the gospel are not named. Am I like them?
“He is your glory. Stay close to Him.”How is Jesus “showing off” in your life? Has He yet convinced you of His unique and personal love for you?
“Fear not little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you His Kingdom.” “The one who makes the promise is trustworthy.” Do you trust that He loves you, and is giving you the kingdom? Do you trust Him?
Our life is not about us; it's about Him! Eyes on Him—He is trying to give you the promised land!
Jesus is a pretty big deal…are you listening to Him?
Mary embodies the Church and each of her members through her title “Theotokos.” She shows us how we are called to “bear God” in our own lives.
The great treasure of the Church is Jesus and also the souls He laid down His life to save. Am I looking at Jesus? Is what He is offering enough for me?
It's all passing away. So, “seek what is above.” Am I rich in the things that matter to God? Nothing matters more to Him than our salvation. Does my own salvation matter to me as much as it matters to Jesus and the Church?
The treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven is Jesus, but it is also you. From the perspective of Jesus and His Church, YOU are the great treasure of His Heart and of His love. He would do anything for you. The people of Israel listened to their shepherds as if they spoke on behalf of God. Do I?
The saints of today saw Jesus. He was able to rest with them at Bethany because He knew that they saw Him, and they made space in their life to be with Him and care for Him.
The priesthood lies at the service of right worship.
Is God my foundation? Do I know about Him, or do I know Him? Jesus, would you help me know the Father?
Blessed are your eyes and your ears! St. Charbel wants to be with God. Do you?
“Present yourselves before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.” Does the new manna call me into relationship, or do I stay in isolation, fixated on myself and everything that is bad in my life?
“Why are you weeping?” Do you believe in the resurrection? Will you go to the tomb, or do you think that sin and death win?
Israel doesn't know what to do or where to go, and so she complains! She is stuck and is hopeless! God tells her to be still. There is something greater than Solomon and Jonah here.
The Gospel of Mary and Martha is understood in light of Abraham's behavior in the first reading. Do I want to be with God? I get anxious and burdened when I choose isolation over relationship.
Jesus is meek and humble of heart…is that really that powerful? The Carmelite Martyrs of Compiegne reveal to us the answer. Their meekness and humility ended the bloody reign of terror in France.
Pilgrimage Mass at the Shrine of St. Mary MagdaleneWhat does it mean for me to put myself in a place where Jesus, the Good Samaritan, can find me and rescue me? St. Mary Magdalene knew how to do this. That we could as well!
“The kingdom of God is at hand.” Jesus wants to show us how to live in the house of the Father! Do you want to live there, or in the world? Satan wants us distracted so that we are focused on anything other than what Jesus has come to bring.
Matthew wanted to be great, but believed greatness was something he could earn in the world, rather than a person He was destined to meet. The person who is Greatness Himself came looking for Matthew today, and He has come looking for us and for our nation. It is impossible to be great without Him. “Follow Me.”
These two men are not the smartest, holiest, or flashy of saints! They are just 2 men who were honest, humble, and willing to put Jesus first. The Kingdom of the Church stands on top of Peter.
The patron saint of losers! He loves us in our loser-li-ness, and wants to help us be transformed from losers into saints.
“Where the spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom.” Today, Jesus goes after the sin of anger. Will I let Him go after it in me?
