Manly Movie Moment: Boromir’s Last Stand
August 25, 2014
It’s no secret that I’m a big Tolkien fan. Not only are his works fantastic literature, they are also rich with Catholic motifs that inspire one to fight for what is good and true in the face of growing darkness. Then there’s the films. While I’m highly disappointed with the new Hobbit movies, I think the Lord of […]
St. Padre Pio’s 5 Point Rule of Life
August 21, 2014
When we think of great mystics and wonder-working saints, we often think of those who lived centuries ago. Yet, St. Pio of Pietrelcina was both a mystic and a performer of many miracles—and he died in 1968, only 46 years ago. In many ways, this saint was and is a contradiction to our scientific, rational age, and despite their eagerness […]
Cardinal Newman’s Description of a Gentleman
August 19, 2014
Blessed John Henry Newman was a consummate Catholic gentleman. Reviled by many of his closest friends for converting to Catholicism, he bore insults and attacks on his character with patience and charity. Here is his description of a gentleman taken from his work The Idea of a University, published in 1854. Keep in mind that Newman is here […]
On the Feast of the Assumption: Have Hope, Have Confidence
August 15, 2014
Throughout the course of our lives, we each encounter difficulties, sufferings, and trials. “Great is the anxiety all men are doomed to, heavy the yoke each son of Adam must bear, from the day when he leaves his mother’s womb to the day when he is buried in the earth, that is mother of all” […]
Depression Does Not Discriminate
August 13, 2014
The following is a guest post by Michael Lichens. So many have been shocked by the news of Robin Williams and what appears to be his self-inflicted death. For years, he was to me a poster-child for depression. Laughter became his shield, as it has for many who suffer from mental anguish, but he still was internally haunted. I […]
The Three Munera, Part 3: The Father as King
August 12, 2014
This post is part of a three part series. See parts one and two. Of all the duties of fatherhood, it is the munus regendi —the duty to shepherd, based on Christ’s role as King—that is most likely to offend modern sensibilities. The father has authority? The father is a king? Come on! That’s outdated chauvinistic patriarchy. […]
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 […]
Being Men of Valor in Our Everyday Lives
August 7, 2014
The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor. (Judges 6:12) God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong. (1 Corinthians 1:27) Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give […]
