Saint Theresa of Calcutta, better known by many as Mother Theresa, has had a profound impact on many in the world, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. Though she lives eternally in heaven, her words still lives still echo in our ears, filled with a simple, holy wisdom.
John The Baptist
John the Baptist has always been a very intriguing and important figure in salvation history. But, in fact, each one of us is called to be a John the Baptist, a herald of the Christ.
Crowning
Sometimes it seems we all desire to wear a crown. And, many times it is not a true crown, but a false worldly crown with which we choose to crown ourselves.
Humility And Holiness
We all strive to be more holy, but not everyone realizes that humility is a prerequisite for holiness. Keeping down to earth id the best way to reach for God.
Control
So many of us try and control every aspect of our lives and of the world. Perhaps it is time that we let go, and let God do what He does best.
Our Lady Undoer Of Knots
There is a lesser known devotion dedicated to Our Lady under her title of Undoer of Knots. This sounds like a great time in our knotty world to explore the help the Blessed Mother offers us.
Hunger
Hunger is a natural, biological reality for the human being. It is built in to our DNA. But, our natural hunger is actually leading us to a greater, spiritual reality. Ultimately, only God can truly fulfill our needs.
Live By The Spirit
When we live by the flesh, Saint Paul tells us, we are more prone to fall into sin. Being driven by our emotions can be devastating. As Christians, we are called to live by the Spirit.
Parables
Jesus used parables quite often during his ministry because he knew they would be received by those to whom he taught. Perhaps parables might be employed more today to teach the truth.
Precious Blood
A specific devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ may seem to some to be esoteric, but there has been a long and powerful tradition of this devotion in our Catholic history.
