Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us ... It lends promise to the future and purpose to the past. It turns discouragement to determination.

How many of us know the new people who sit in the pews on Sunday? How many of us put forth effort to make others feel welcome? Not enough, I'm sure. Maybe that is one reason why the pews are so empty. One way to maybe fill up those pews is to strengthen the bond.... (www.catholic365.com)

Nothing of spiritual significance comes without sacrifice. Your spirituality will always be measured by the size of your sacrifice.

I think asking ourselves what we are invested in is really important because otherwise we’ll always just be running away from things and avoiding any type of conflict, won’t we?... (www.catholic365.com)

Rejecting "Common Sense" also Rejects the Golden Rule

I believe it takes far more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God. Atheists believe that everything that exists (the entire universe with its billions of stars and planets) came from nothing and by nothing. Nobody x Nothing = Everything. That takes a lot of faith!

“It is the Spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail.” It is so easy to lose sight of this, and so hard to accept it, as St. John relates when he states that many disciples returned to their former ways instead of continuing to follow Jesus and His path.... (www.catholic365.com)

Letter to a Convert's Dad

It would be presumptuous of me to say I know how you feel, now that your son has made the transition from the Protestant tradition of his birth and family to a strange and new home in the Catholic Church.
