     | 2,300 views

    Whatever our state of life, we are called to live and die in love. We are called to follow Jesus and to become saints ourselves.

    January 10, 2019 St. Louis of Toulouse Every day we wake up, we wake up to the understanding that our being able to wake up is a divine gift.

     | 3,324 views

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Every time we turn a page in the New Testament, we are–if we are sensitive–struck by how counter-intuitive the Christian message is. Consider St. Paul’s life. He was, by his own account, a super-Jew. He observed every ...read more

The story is a compelling reminder of the impotence of ...read more

  • Evangelizing The Cities Series

    Thursday of the Second Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell his key disciples not to disclose their vision of Him transfigured until He would rise from the dead. There was a good reason for that. The Jewish mindset, which had been formed by prophets like Jeremiah, ...read more

    There is a close relationship between the testimony of Scripture and the witness given by the lives of believers.
