Too Much Credit for the Enemy
I fear that we have been giving the Enemy too much credit. He typically speaks according to the 5 D’s: Deception, Division, Diversion, Discouragement, & Death. Jesus Christ shatters the voice of the Enemy & brings us closer to the heart of the Father. Whose voice are you listening to?

Do You Believe in Miracles?
Far too often do we explain away miracles due to our lack of faith. The same Jesus that performed miracles 2,000 years ago still lives today and he’s not done yet with his miracles.

Unified in Christ
Is there any hope for unity in a world so divided? St Paul speaks firmly that our only hope for unity & peace is in Jesus Christ. Where do you see unhealthy division? Perhaps an authentic conversion toward Jesus is needed for healing, restoration, and peace.

Undistracted Prayer
Jesus often spoke in parables when addressing the large crowds, but he would explain them only in private to his disciples. True disciples spend quality time with the Lord in quiet, undistracted prayer. It’s in those intimate moments where God reveals his truth to us personally & reveals to us how it applies to our lives.

Unique Roles
Every baptized member of the Body of Christ has a unique role to play in God’s Kingdom.

Bring Your Humanity
Even though we cannot add anything to Jesus' sacrifice to the Father, He still wants us to share in His offering. God wants us to participate in His saving actions, no so that the product would be any better, but so that our relationship with Him would be deeper. Next time you come to Mass, I invite you to be more than a spectator.

Where's Sally?
We all know Sally. She received all her sacraments, attended Catholic school, and has always been kind to others. But somewhere along the line, Sally stopped going to church. Statistics show that for every one convert to the Catholic faith, 6 more people leave. Why is it that the number of active Catholics is rapidly declining? It's time for us to have an honest conversation.

Divine Enabling?
How do you help someone that can't help himself? Is Divine Mercy like some kind of divine enabling of bad behavior? Or is it more than a "get out of jail free" card? Divine Mercy Sunday.

Hate your life?
Jesus says that if you love your life, you will lose it; and if you hate your life you will preserve it. But what does that really mean? Would Jesus actually ask us to hate our life? 5th Sunday of Lent.

Rediscover what God has done
We are moved to thank those who do good to us, but our hearts are moved to love those who sacrifice for us. God wants more than our gratitude. He wants our love because he freely chose to love us first.

Sacred Sunday
It's easy for Sunday to feel just like all the other days of the week: busy, anxious, and distracted. But God wants more for us. If Sunday is no different for you than any other day, it's time to reclaim it.
