    The attitude of a child is the attitude of knowing you are incomplete, and need to grow, to change, to take the risk to be wrong.

    September 28, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The emphasis Jesus constantly puts on being childlike puzzled me until I read Carol Dweck’s great book Mindset. A child knows–perhaps without being able to articulate it–that she needs to change, learn and grow. A child knows his own incompleteness. As we ...read more

    Inconveniencing Ourselves For The Kingdom Series

     | 3,471 views

    As the young man in the Gospel was challenged to be inconvenienced to follow Christ, so the challenge to facilitate human development may inconvenience us.

    August 17, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The sure path to eternal life, to enjoying the presence of God continually even before we die, is to imitate Jesus and Mary. They–and Jesus, the source of grace, first of all–are the great examples of bringing the Good that is God into contact with a world that ...read more

     | 3,702 views

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more

    We have a duty in charity to address issues of massive disparities in economic development and incomes.

    November 23, 2009 Bl Miguel Pro Caritas in Veritate The Old Testament had particular contempt for those who oppressed widows and orphans. In a male-dominated society, where women were almost like property rather than equal partners in a marriage, being a widow, particularly a childless one, was ...read more

    The cross is not a call to passive acceptance, it is a call to salvation as a gift and faithful obedience in loving response.

    The Cross Dynamic of Discipleship Development John 15:16-27 (16) ¡§You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. (17) This is my command: Love each other. (18) ¡§If the world hates ...read more

    In Moses' frank conversation with God, we learn to pray for those who rebel against God, hunger for the presence of God, long for more of God, and shine with the light of God. As we seek after God, God will reveal more of himself to us.

    Exodus 33:12-23 Developing a Personal Walk with God Today’s conversation between Moses and God is pretty gutsy. Moses seems very comfortable with God, even to challenge God: “You don’t go with us, we don’t go!” Moses is praying real prayers here, nothing held back. And what is even more amazing ...read more
