    Peace Will Follow

    Jesus did not respond to the violence, with violence, it was not his timeto die. Instead of seeking out scripture that speaks against peace, perhaps to focus on the sermon on the mount, or 13 Cor might help. At least it does for me. We understand fighting, anger, revenge, what we may have...

    The Virtue of Justice

    They also had "cities of refuge" so that people would be free of the blood-debt, if the death was not 1st-degree murder. I would think many people back then were thankful for that. May your day bel blessed, and may your Sunday be a true day of rest. Peace Mark

    We are seeing the fruits of division

    I do agree with you. There is no simple solution, or there may not be. But yes, in order for abortion to at least become less needed there have to be some deep changes in our cultures. I do not see that happening. I am not for punishing those who get abortions, it is wrong. they need...

    We are seeing the fruits of division

    Good point. Pro-life issues I will admit have backed me into a corner when it comes to voting. Trump was the only one to vote for since he says (he may not be) he is pro-life. Peace Mark

    We are seeing the fruits of division

    We are seeing the fruits of division I am disheartened by what happened in Washington yesterday. It is hard to believe, or maybe not, the split in our country seems scary. I wonder if the next four years will be like the last four. If it is, will we actually survive the 2024 election as a...

    God's ways are not ours

    God’s ways are not ours A prayer made with sleepiness and distraction is no less pleasing to Me than one made in consolations and alertness. Your subjective dispositions do not impede the action of My grace in your soul. Learn, then, to trust in Me to do the things that you cannot do of...

    The benefits of the Rosary are many

    The benefits of the Rosary are many While non-Catholics (many of them) do not think much of the Rosary. I guess it is because of 'Mary'. They seem to have some real problems with our devotion to her. Yet the Rosary is a powerful tool for prayer. I would say it is my main form of prayer when I...

    Blitz Beloved Family Pet

    Blitz Beloved Family Pet Blitz was our boxer, a smart dog, manipulative like dogs can be. You know wagging his stubby tail so hard that you would think that his butt would dislocate or worse. His eyes, those sad, poor me eyes, begging (well demanding) that we bow down to his wants and needs and...

    Midnight Mass Homily 2020

    Midnight Mass Homily 2020 SILENT NIGHT. We experience in a real way something of a silent night. As I stand here looking at an empty church. This is a time we certainly miss all our guests and friends. Yet we know how we keep them close to our hearts as we enter into our monastic prayer...
