As a baptized child of the holy household of Heaven, may I please our heavenly Father in the example of Christ who faithfully fulfills the purpose for which He is sent (Is 55:11).

Why was it necessary for God to enter His creation to affect the salvation of His people? We say that He died for us but what was the price He paid that we could not? How would the world be different if Jesus never came to save us? The story begins with an understanding of…

The same voice that spoke creation into being now declares bread and wine His body and blood. In each repeated consecration, we share in the first (CCC 1410). May my respect for this universal communion of love be reflected in my demeanor.

God is spirit (John 4:24). The angels are spirit (Heb 1:14). Animals are flesh given the breath of life (Gen 7:15). Man is unique in creation—formed from the dust in the image and likeness of God Himself as the pinnacle of creation, he was given the breath of life (Gen 2:7) and dominion over all…

Lord, as You rose in glory from the tomb, You raise me to new life through Baptism. Help me live out the promises of my baptism in service to You and Your holy Kingdom.

Christ has risen from the dead! The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning truth of our faith in Christ, a faith believed and lived as the central truth by the first Christian community… (CCC 638). He who embraced the simple and confounded the wise suffered for the sins of all and conquered death itself. All…

Everyone is called to enter the Kingdom (CCC 543). The Kingdom is here and now where God’s will is done. May I live to serve now and patiently await the everlasting joy to come.

Everyone is called to enter the Kingdom (CCC 543). The Kingdom is here and now where God’s will is done. May I live to serve now and patiently await the everlasting joy to come. No one is excluded from our Lord’s invitation to the Kingdom. Not the rich—who find it difficult (Luke 18:25). Not the…

You radiated heavenly glory yet spoke of Your coming Passion. The cross is Your love revealed, not an obstacle in Your path. Help me sacrificially live my love for You.

Lord, You radiated heavenly glory yet spoke of Your  coming Passion. The cross is Your love revealed,  not an obstacle in Your path. Help me sacrificially live my love for You. In the Garden of Eden, at the beginning, Adam and Eve were innocent. They were made for communion with God. God walked…

Temptation

We are blessed with free will… and cursed by it. We can choose the greatest good… or the worst evil. We can choose Heaven or Hell. God could cancel our free will and end evil in a moment. However, doing so would also be the end of love. There can be no love without free…

The Kingdom of Heaven is not in the carnal pleasures of this world. In the proper ordering of my passions, may I find fulfillment in charity and divine beatitude (CCC 1769).

The Kingdom of Heaven is not in the carnal pleasures of this world. In the proper ordering of my passions, may I find fulfillment in charity and divine beatitude (CCC 1769). We are made in the image and likeness of an infinite God. From our finite perspectives, can we fathom the depths of a soul?…

The Luminous Mysteries

The Luminous Mysteries remind us who Christ is. They illuminate His identity... and our own in communion with Him. He is Son of God, Son of Man (Mary), King, Prophet, and Priest. We enter into these mysteries by recognizing we are the Body of Christ through Baptism and creation in the image and likeness of God. We are called to obedience and evangelization, bringing the good news of salvation—being priests in the domestic churches of our homes and communities. We are His hands and feet carrying on the Great Commission to the ends of the Earth.
