Be Who You Are: Embracing Your Own Kind of Sanctity

August 8, 2014
  “Be who you are, and be that well.” – St. Francis de Sales Have you ever admired someone? I mean to the degree that you want to be just like them. For years now, I’ve admired, even venerated, G.K. Chesterton—and I don’t mean just his writing, as brilliant as that is, but Chesterton as […]

6 Ways to Cultivate the Virtue of Humility

July 18, 2014
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance. —St. Augustine If you’ve read this blog for any time at all, you’ll know that I speak frequently about the importance of humility.

Made for Pillows? Men, Boredom, and Pornography

July 16, 2014

Preparing for a Good Lent: Almsgiving

March 4, 2014
“We should strive to keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people, and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God.” – Saint Vincent de Paul Believe it or not, tomorrow is already Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Today, we […]

Preparing for a Good Lent: Prayer

February 25, 2014
Today, we continue our series on how to prepare for a good Lent by focusing on the first of the three pillars: prayer. “Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises man to Heaven.” – […]

Five Ways to Increase Patience

February 4, 2014
None of us can claim to have mastered perfectly the virtue of patience. We think we have made a major victory in acquiring patience, and then, out of the blue and taken by surprise, we explode! Our illusion of being the most patient person in the world went up in smoke! Patience is so important that […]
