    What we do when we celebrate Eucharist is to have a foretaste of what we will experience when we reunite in the kingdom of God.

    March 30, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Recently this series focused for a moment on the distinction between hating sin and judging evil actions on the one hand, and loving sinners and welcoming them into the Church on the other.

    Tuesday of 4th week in Lent March 23, 2009 The Church’s forty-day preparation for Easter is, above all, a preparation of the whole Church to claim the inheritance earned by Christ through His passion, death and resurrection.

    The holy communion is a foretaste of the heavenly banquet with the Lamb.

    March 23, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Death and suffering and lamentation were never God’s intention for the world He loved into existence.

    For God to forgive us our huge debt, we must forgive others their little ones.

    Tuesday of 3rd week of Lent 17 March 2009 The author of Daniel and the storyteller behind this unique parable of Matthew have the same question in mind: what does God require of us?

     | 3,042 views

    As Jesus did in his home town, we must preach the truth about marriage, even at some risk.

    March 16, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis The prophetic call, whether to Elisha, Jesus, the apostles or you and me, is a call to take risks in order to reduce the greatest risk–that men and women lose their eternal souls. Here, Jesus tells the truth about his fellow Jews to the Jews and almost pays ...read more

     | 2,805 views

    We may not judge the internal disposition of others, but we can judge the evil of what they want to do to society, especially against marriage.

    March 9, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis How many times in recent years has this phrase of Jesus’s, “Judge not, lest ye be judged” been shoved into the faces of faithful Christians who are protesting the murder of the innocent, the perversion of the sacred union of husband and wife, or some other of ...read more

    Jesus died to fulfill the covenant God made with Abraham.

    2nd Sunday of Lent 2009 What Hath God Wrought? Let’s get the question the disciples asked out of the way first: what does rising from the dead mean? It means you first have to be dead. But why, we might ask, did Jesus, pure and sinless and powerful, have to die? Some Protestant divines have ...read more

    As the farmer must suffer to attain the joy of harvest, so we must embrace our crosses in life to attain the joy of union with the Father.

    Tuesday, March 3, 2009 Word and Suffering I always encourage my students to plant gardens. The reasons are many, but one of the biggest is that one cannot understand Scripture without knowing something about agriculture. It’s only been in the past couple of hundred years that Catholics have been ...read more

    The priest and bishop who choose celibacy as a response to their call are imaging Christ, the Bridegroom.

    March 2, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis The call to holiness that is summed up and made possible by the sacraments–especially this sacrament of charity–is universal.

    The leadership principles we must adopt as Christian leaders are those of Jesus, not of the world.

    Tuesday before Lent (Shrove Tuesday) 2009 Not quite twenty years ago, Wess Roberts published a book entitled Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun. He later confessed that he chose Attila as his title character because so little is known about the Hun leader. It was, therefore, easy to impose ...read more

    God’s miraculous signs never force our faith.

    February 17, 2009 Mark 8: 11-21 Whenever St. Mark uses the phrase “this generation,” the words have a specific meaning.

    The touch of God changes us, particularly those set aside for ministry.

    February 16, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis There are two realities that flow directly from our understanding that there is a God and I’m not God. The first is that we owe God everything. The second is that we have to behave toward God and other human beings in the way He intends. The new atheist, ...read more

    Sacrament of Healing and Eucharist; when to approach communion and when to pray in the pew

    Monday of 5th Sunday in Course 9 February 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis The Gospels give us a real, human Christ to worship, emulate, and follow.
