The First Battle of the Day
August 17, 2013
First thing in the morning, we are faced with a battle. Our alarm goes off, and we have a choice—we can either hit snooze or get out of bed immediately. I have a confession to make: For most of my life, I have hit the snooze button and dozed off again. Sometimes I have even done this […]
St. Maximilian Kolbe on Serious Sin
August 14, 2013
Have you ever struggled with a grave sin? I mean something really serious. You want with all your heart to break this sin’s power in your life, but no matter how hard you struggle and pray, you just keep falling into it. You are constantly feeling guilty, and the guilt keeps you from approaching Our Lord […]
Pipe Smoking 101
August 12, 2013
There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a good pipe—the sweet scent, the smoke rising in gentle clouds, the feel of finely crafted briar in your hand.

Since starting this blog, I […]
Should you pray with an iPhone?
August 10, 2013

The Cardinal Virtues: Prudence
August 6, 2013
Previously, I’ve written about the importance of being a virtuous man, but it’s difficult to pursue virtue if we don’t first know what virtue is. Fortunately, Mother Church, building on the great thinkers of the ancient world, has outlined exactly which seven virtues we should pursue, and she has given us clear definitions of each. The first four virtues […]
Gentleman Saint: Blessed John Henry Newman
August 4, 2013
“We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.” Blessed John Henry Newman was one of the most important Catholic converts in the last 200 years. His contributions to the Church are hard to estimate, and his life is a shining witness to the courage in following the truth. […]
