Thy Kingdom Come

I recently had the opportunity to study a small portion of St. Teresa of Avila’s writings on the Lord’s Prayer. I learned many things from this study that I’ve been meditating on for the last few weeks, but there is one line that I return to a bit more often than others: thy kingdom come…...

Are You Wearing Dung-Colored Glasses?

Ah, we love to make fun of those in love, the young and the naive who view the world through rose-colored glasses. But what about the rest of us, those of us who wear dung-colored glasses?

Entertainment Age

My "Universal" Family

I resisted the urge to tag this post with something like outer space, extraterrestrial, or aliens, although it would have been funny. On the other hand, it may have brought some traffic I didn't want. When I say I have a universal family I mean it.... (www.catholic365.com)
