Faith is Love in Action
Praise the Lord, I’ve survived yet another year of college! It wasn’t pretty. There was a lot of caffeine and a lot of hair pulling and a lot of wanting to drop out of school, but by the grace of God I survived. Unfortunately, this means that I am getting...

Last week marked the premature end of an all-too-short era in the Williston house when, after a remarkable temper tantrum by my son, Lincoln, we decided to sell the Wii and Xbox on Craigslist. It all started, as most family crises do, with a father/son matchup in Mario Super Sluggers,...

Meditations on Mama Mary (Review: “The World’s First Love”)
Oh, May: the month of flowers, of the fullness of spring, of mothers, and especially of the Blessed Mother, Mary, the Mother of God. I must confess that I didn’t quite realize the convergence of these annual symbols when I selected my next book for this column; the Holy Spirit...

Growth in Sober Consideration
“As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts are above your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9) There often seems to be a subliminal attitude, which originates in Protestant circles but pervades many Catholic parishes. Because Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection have...

Don’t Call Me Crazy: A Christian Response to the Stigma of Mental Illness
“That’s so crazy!” “You must be crazy…” ‘Crazy’ is a word we hear thrown around often in our culture. We even have multiple variations now, with ‘craziness’, ‘crazy sauce’ and ‘cray cray’ floating around online and in person. I myself am guilty of using this word flippantly to describe anything...

En los últimos días hemos visto la realidad que la vida puede cambiar en un instante. Eventos trágicos nos duelen por las personas que están sufriendo. Pero aun entre todo lo difícil, aparece la luz. También, en unos pocos días celebramos el nacimiento del Niño Jesús. ¿Está tu corazón preparado para recibirlo? Aquí están unos pequeños consejos para hoy y todos los días.
- Antes que nada, al abrir los ojos, dale los Buenos Días al Señor y dale gracias por despertar a un nuevo día. Unas personas no tendrán la misma bendición.
- No olvides rezar y da gracias por todo lo que tienes. Puede ser que mañana no lo tengas
- Recuerda que hoy puede ser tu último día. ¿Qué quieres decirles a tu familia y amigos?
- Da la gloria a Dios por todas tus capacidades y hónralo con tu trabajo.
- Prepara tu mente y corazón para las dificultades. Siempre Confía en Dios. Parece que nos sorprende que algo no salga como lo planeábamos. . . no estamos en el cielo todavía amigos. Da gracias por las dificultades también y ofrécelas al cielo.
- Pase lo que pase, no te tengas lastima o te ahogues en tus penas. En Dios esta nuestro consuelo y nuestra esperanza.
- Piense en alguien más que tal vez no conoces muy bien. ¿Que estarán pasando en su vida? ¿Qué puedes darle tú o hacer por ellos?
- Ve menos televisión y lee la biblia más.
- No te olvides de tu Ángel Guardián
- Perdona Todo.
Desafío de Adviento
De lo poco o mucho que tengas, da algo a una organización de caridad.
