Ite Ad Joseph

"Bring this white garment unstained into eternal life": how to be prepared to meet Our Lord. 

The fruit God wants us to produce: the virtues. 

My friend Arick, Easter Mass at St. Peter's in Rome, and why salvation is a free gift, not an earned trophy. 

We as a society are addicted to anger.

Seminary peer evaluations, Ezekiel, and admonishing the dinner.

The St Louis Rams, Pope St. John Paul II, and suffering.

Jesus wanted his Church to be visible, and it’s alive and well today.

Dug the dog from “Up”, and the Canaanite woman.

Peter’s faith, zeal, and weakness, all in one story.

Difficult times can bring about great fruit in the hearts and minds of believers.

“The pearl of great price is worth every penny. If we give our lives to God, he will bless us more than we could ever imagine; I’m living proof of that.”

The importance and necessity of prayer.

Why does God allow good seed to not bear fruit?

Christ’s rest and peace on earth.

Death to self is an essential part of the Christian life. 

“Even the hairs on your head are counted.” Jesus knows us THAT well.

“Eat my flesh and drink my blood”. Jesus couldn't have been any more clear. 

God’s essence, dwelling within us.

One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. The Church, the Holy Spirit and us.

“Sometimes I think that those who have never been deprived of an opportunity to say or hear Mass do not really appreciate what a treasure the Mass is.”—Fr Walter Ciszek SJ
