Strength, courage, obedience, faithfulness, and leadership are all qualities we admire in others. Joseph, husband of Mary Our Blessed Mother, possessed all these things. Yet, he doesn’t say one word in all of scripture where he is mentioned. It’s his quiet nature to give all of himself for the will of God that makes us want to live like him. …
Side by Side – Day 8 “Great Power, Great Responsibility”
In the movie, Spiderman, there is an awesome line: “With great power comes great responsibility.” As Catholic Christians we are all given gifts and talents to play our part in changing the world; it’s called our vocation. Every once and a while we don’t like what we are being asked to do…we have to do it anyway. Today our readings …
Side by Side – Day 5 “Daily Battles”
One thing we don’t talk about enough is “Spiritual Warfare.” Anytime we desire a closer relationship with Christ, the devil will work harder to do what he can in order to persuade us away. The Father knew this would be part of our humanness, so the Spirit leads His Son, Jesus, into the desert to be tempted before he begins …
Side by Side – Day 4 “Perfectly Imperfect”
“I’m not as holy as that person.” “God could never love someone like me.” “My life is a mess, I can’t even think about praying.” These are all expressions I’ve heard from people at one time or another. It’s sad to me because they’re missing the point of the healing love found in Jesus Christ. We don’t have to have …
Side by Side – Day 3 “Mind Your Business”
It’s not always about WHAT we do, but HOW we do it. As the father of two teenagers I must remind my children to not allow their face to show how angry they are when asked to do something that isn’t in line with their current plans. Today’s reading from Isaiah is pretty clear we have to watch how we …
Side by Side – Day 2 “Hope”
One word that seems to be getting lost in our society is “HOPE.” People have become so accustomed to living in the moment, immersed in technology; they stop looking at the world around them to see the beauty. It also prevents them from looking past the struggles they are experiencing to understand there is hope for their future. Together we …
I AM CHRIST
Life is interesting in 2023, isn’t it? Everything we could ever need is at our fingertips and the world has created a category of lifestyle for every person to find “happiness” in true self. Yet, the mental health crisis has hit an all-time high and less people are attending church than any time in recent history. Why do I bring …
Places We’ve Lived
Places We’ve Lived By: Ted Reardon Places we used to live or spend time at are still a home, our home, in a way. It’s always a beautiful place. No matter where it is or how it looks now we find peace knowing that we spent time there, knowing that our memories still reside somewhere in and around that place …
Will My Faith Save Me?
“Will My Faith Save Me?” By: Millie Prebel Many times in scripture when Jesus heals he says, “Your faith has healed you.” Or “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” As I reflected on scripture I began to wonder what would be done unto me? What kind of healing would be granted to me? What would be …
We Gotta Start Somewhere
