Source of Mercy
Our own sinfulness can become a source of mercy for others if we allow Christ’s wounds to meet ours. We cannot give what we don’t have. Before we can effectively show mercy to others, we may need to first let God show mercy to us.

Why Holy People Suffer
Those especially dear to God have it as their lot to endure suffering, as we see in the case of Lazarus. But be not afraid! We can either suffer on the way to calvary, or suffer running from it. The latter is way worse.

Thirsting for God
Jesus reveals himself as a divine bridegroom to the Samaritan woman at the well. Even though she was perhaps the most unlikely character to receive such attention from the messiah, Jesus chose her on purpose to foreshadow his deep love even for the most shameful of sinners.

Dopamine Fast
At the Transfiguration, Jesus reveals himself as a new Moses. Just as God revealed himself to Moses on Mount Sinai, Jesus revealed his divinity on Mount Tabor. God wants to reveal himself to us, too, but we are often too distracted to notice.

Pleasure, Possessions, & Pride
Jesus becomes a “new Adam” by conquering his three original temptations in the desert. We, too, experience these three temptations all the time. The remedies are fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.

Perfection
What does it mean to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect? To be perfect is not to be flawless, but to love completely. But before we can love completely, we must first allow ourselves to be completely loved.

Anger & Lust
There is a difference between the emotion of anger and the sin of anger. The same can be said about the attraction toward another person and the sin of lust. Emotions and desires are often involuntary, but the choice for or against God takes place in the heart.

Behold, the Lamb of God
We need to be saved from our tendency to turn in on ourselves. Many of us are not free to love as we ought. If you feel like your love for others is lacking: Behold, the Lamb of God.

Ponder
Mary knew the ending, but not all the details leading to it. This prompted her to treasure all circumstances and to ponder them in her heart. Imagine if we approached 2023 with the same posture.

Emmanuel
The Christmas story is not so much about our journey to God, but about God’s journey to us. We don’t have to search any longer! God is here & now. He is with us!

Sin
Is the Gospel good news to you? If not, I wonder if we’re taking it for granted. Until we recognize the destructive power of sin in our lives, the Gospel message loses much of its meaning.

Patience
A lack of patience usually indicates a lack of love. St James and St Francis de Sales both give us some practical advice on how to be more patient.

Put on Christ
Just as we get dressed for a new day, St Paul tells us to put on Christ for the age of salvation. Imagine how different our year ahead would be if we each woke up early every day for mental prayer?

Jesus Didn’t Die for Perfect People
Sometimes we feel the pressure of having it all together before we are able to have a good relationship with God. But He wants to encounter the real version of us, not the facade of who we think we should be. Jesus did not die for perfect people, he came to seek and to save the lost.

That Moment After Sin
We all sin, but that moment immediately following the sin is crucial. It’s the difference between heaven & hell. Beware of these 3 traps: making excuses, convincing yourself it’s no big deal, and comparing yourself to others who do worse.

Fighting Battles
The parallels between the story of Moses in our first reading and the story of Jesus’ crucifixion are stunning. Just as Moses interceded for the Israelites, Jesus interceded for all humanity on Calvary - and He continues to intercede for us today. We all have battles to fight, but some choose to fight them alone.
