Jesus Versus Family

Jesus calls us to follow him, even over the objections of our family.

Since Christ died for us while we were sinners, we should have confidence that sin cannot separate us from God’s love.

The Holy Spirit in the Bible received its second national award this week from the Association of Catholic Publishers (ACP).

“The Holy Spirit in the Bible” wins second place in the Catholic Media Awards.

The question is not how often we receive the Eucharist, but do we taste it when we do?

No matter how difficult or divisive our situation may be, the power of God is greater than the forces that attack us.

Whoever we are, we belong to Jesus. Whatever happens to us is his concern because he is our shepherd.

We need to know that the power of Jesus is greater than any challenge that life places before us.

When we find ourselves fixated on the past, like Martha, we must allow Jesus to turn us around.

We have every right to make plans as long as we remember that it is God’s plan, not ours, that has priority.

As we prepare to face a standoff with evil, it’s important for us to believe the Spirit leads us in.

Jesus does not believe that violence can be limited. It must be eliminated. It must be stopped cold.
