Marriage: a call to union with the Holy Trinity
We defend marriage so strongly because it is a call to complete union with God.
The Truth will set you free, not your own perception of it
God is the source of all truth, not our own minds
Retreat before you advance
Take time to pray before beginning the awesome task of preaching the Gospel to the world.
Explaining the changes in St. Denis Church
This video explains what the changes are that we made in the sanctuary of St. Denis Church and why.
Get thee to Heaven!
Follow only the voice of Jesus so He can lead you to Heaven!
Be as smart as sheep - follow your Shepherd
Sheep are smart enough to know they need their shepherd. We need to be that smart!
Just a piece of bread or union with God?
I know it can be hard to believe that the Eucharist is actually the Body and Blood of Jesus, but why is better to believe that it is just a piece of bread?
He saved us from the pit!
Jesus suffered and rose from the dead to draw us out of the pit of this broken world. Let Him draw you out of the pit!
He Saw My Face!
In His agony, Jesus saw my face! He also saw yours! He IS your personal savior!
Let His Blood be upon us!
We are cleansed from our sins by the Blood of Christ.
Resurrection: get used to it!
The raising of Lazarus from the dead is a reminder that Jesus will also raise us from the dead on the last day.
See Jesus His way, not ours!
Let go of any preconceived notions you have about God and see Him as He reveals Himself, not as we want Him to be.
Thirsting for the faith of others
If you have someone you wish to bring to Jesus but don't know how to go about it, follow what Jesus did with the woman at the well.
Don't Pass the Buck; Take Responsibility instead.
Don't make Adam and Eve's mistake of passing the buck. Take responsibility for your sins and Jesus will forgive and heal you!
Turn the other cheek, but no need to be a punching bag!
Jesus' call to turn the other cheek is a call to strength in confrontation and not weakness.
Children's Liturgy restored - don't be angry!
There is such a thing as righteous anger, but most of our anger is harmful to us.
Jesus Christ: Taste him again for the first time!
Listen to Jesus with fresh ears and it will change your life!
How NOT to read the Bible
By all means read the Bible, but read it as it was intended to be read and not as we want it to read.
Who takes away the sins of the world
The greatest gift Jesus has given us is the remission of our sins.
Be an Epiphany for Christ!
The amazing journey of the magi is a model for us to be an Epiphany for Christ in 2023.
Through Mary all Christian mothers are blessed
Every Christian mother participates with Mary in giving birth to Christ, and Mary continues to give birth to Christ through every Christian mother. Happy God's Mother's Day!
We are the instruments of change
If we want the world to be a better place, all we have to do is follow what Jesus teaches us.
God's grace will be with you!
The will of God will never lead you where His grace cannot sustain you, so fear not and always trust in God.
Gaudete! Rejoice! Because Jesus loves you!
Jesus loves us beyond our wildest imagination, and we know His love best when we realize that He died for our sins and when we let Him take them away from us.
A Dumbed-down Gospel helps no one.
Jesus came to change us, not to placate us.
Put on Christ!
During Advent and Christmas, immerse yourself in Christ as we prepare for His return in glory and for our celebration of His birth.
Jesus reigns!
Don't listen to anyone who contradicts Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Listen only to Him.
I live for this!
Make sure we live every day not for the thigs of this earth but for the promises in store for us in haven and the New Creation.
Our Sunday Mass privilege!
Perhaps we can begin speaking not of our "Sunday Mass Obligation" but of our "Sunday Mass Privilege."
Be a missionary right here at home
On World Mission Sunday, we support those who have left their homes to preach Christ in foreign lands. We are all, however, missionaries, and there is plenty of mission work for us to do at home every day.
Go back to the foundation: God is Good!
Having faith in God is not following Him when everything makes perfect sense but precisely when it does not.
Thank you Jesus!
Remember to give thanks to Jesus for ALL His gifts, not just the ones we realize.
It is our duty!
We have a duty to the nation, society, our family, and especially God.
Yes, I am my brother's keeper!
It's not just "Jesus and me." We have a responsibility to see to the needs of others.
Show initiative for Heaven
We can be so clever in the ways of the world, but can we do the same for the ways of Heaven?
God's call to forgiveness is for everyone, even the most sinful!
No one is so sinful that God doesn't care about them any more. When a sinner returns to God, rejoice!
Humble yourself, but don't humiliate yourself
How do we go about being humble in our affairs?
Shout out for the shout out!
This is a shout out to Hugh Curtin of WXBO radio, thanking him for the shout out he gave me on his radio show this past Wednesday. You can hear his show on several streaming sites including Live365. It is classic rock. Here's the shout out he gave me.
The Narrow Gate is small, so be strong in Christ
We cannot go with the flow if we want to enter heaven. We must completely change our outlook on life.
Are you a virtuous person?
Do you strive to be the best you can be or to get the most out of the world that you can?
Be Charitable, be Christlike
We will never create the peaceful world we wish to see by being angry and biting.
Not our Sunday Obligation but our Sunday Privilege!
If we truly understood the power of the Eucharist, it would change the world!
Love is a gift, not a feeling
God's love is a total gift of self, even if it hurts, and we are called to do the same.
Don't be afraid to preach Christ
The only thing stopping us from having the better world we desire is Christians being afraid to live and preach the Gospel.
That all may be one.
Jesus prayed that all His followers would be united. We must work to make His prayer a reality.
They did not consult the Bible!
The Bible is not the only source of God's revelation of His will to us. We also have Apostolic Tradition and the teaching of the Magisterium.
Sheep are smarter than we are!
Sheep are humble enough to know they need their shepherd, but we think we can do it on our own.
We are each a work in progress
None of us has reached the summit of holiness but are all still being formed by Christ every day.
Finding Peace through the forgiveness of our sins
We will best learn the love of Christ and His Divine Mercy by giving Him all our sins and allowing Him to take them away from us.
Satan destroyed by his own weapon
By dying and rising from the dead, Jesus used lured Satan into a trap that defeated him forever.
