    To Be Light and Salt | The Monday After

    The Fire of Faith and Its Fireplace | The Monday After

    In the heart of every man there is a desire for God that burns like a fire in need of a fireplace, lest it burn destructively in the world. The Church, as Mother of the Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love, can tame the Natural Virtues of Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude in such a way as to enable us to wield them toward God, our original desire, our first love.

    Is our problem really the law? | The Monday After

    We hear people saying, "Law! Law! Law!" And we've got great laws, and a great Constitution. So what's the problem? Why isn't yelling, "Law!" working? Is there something missing? Something more essential, even necessary?

    Members of His Household | The Monday After

    We are God's children now, no longer dogs on the street. We once lived by instinct and appetite alone, but now we live by God's Spirit, which illuminates our intellect and will, those faculties of our human soul that are characteristic of the sons and daughters of God.

    Can we accept the truth about God? | The Monday After

    If we would be truly wise, yes. By God's grace, a man can surrender his gold for the treasures offered to us in Christ, his frankincense for the true prayer that Christ shares with us, and even his own definitions of rest, which Christ also transcends and transfigures. And in fact, man must. Only then will he depart for his country by a different way, changed and intent on peace with his neighbors.

    Is it okay to ask God for signs? | The Monday After

    Believing in miracles is essential to our Faith, since the Sacraments are all miracles. But it's still more important to ask what God may be trying to say to us through the specific signs He sends to us in our own days.

    The Monday After | Saint Joseph, A Good Parent

    I suppose most parents will say to their children, "You can be whatever you want to be when you grow up," but I don't imagine that Our Lady and Saint Joseph said such things to Jesus.

    The Monday After | Knowledge of Mary, The Golden Key in a Red Bag

    A little boy came to me after Mass yesterday, showing me a gold key in a red bag. It turned out to be a good way of understanding the intercession of the Blessed Mother. This is a teaching on Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and how she desires to help us to stay close to her Son.
