Hidden Treasure

God sees in us a treasure that is hidden from others and perhaps even from ourselves.

When we do not know how to pray, the Spirit of God prays for us.

If we take our burden and give it to Jesus, it becomes his burden and he will help us carry it.

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

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.

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.
