It’s hard to skip Mass for even one day. It’s so hard to miss a single day of receiving the Eucharist. Truthfully it should be more difficult to go without receiving the Eucharist for one day than to go one day without eating.... (www.catholic365.com)

Getting to bless 'ourselves' in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit is such a loving gift the Church gives us.

At the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself--the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Jesus sends us with the promise that if we trust God's promises and care, we might not quarrel, question and quit as we make our journey to proclaim that God is mothering us towards the "there" to which we move through the "here” - even when the "here" seems rather insecure at times....

Believe in the Light!

Father Adam once gave an analogy of hiking in the dark compared to loss of faith. With a flashlight we get enough light to see a little of the trail but not the whole thing. I don’t know the rest.

To Change A World

We are called to be soldiers for Christ. We are called to defend life, love, and our faith.
