Joseph was a real man and he used his manly strength in a way that is an example for all men… he protected his wife and family, physically and spiritually.

We all know saints who were bad and became good. But what about good people who fall and want to be good again?

Before setting out to preach the faith, St. Patrick armed himself by praying this famous prayer, known to us today at the Breastplate of St. Patrick.

Jesus takes 613 commandments of the Law and reduces them to just 2 in today’s Gospel. But there’s a catch.

We’re making our way through Lent and there is going to be a test at the end. Today I give you the questions and the answers.

There is no “God of the Old Testament” and a different “God of the New Testament.” There is just one God, who loves us.

God wants you to be like him. In today’s gospel, we see that God is very forgiving, and he expects us to do the same.

God is probably not going to ask you to do something huge today. Expect to do a lot of little things instead.

We focus a lot on our sinfulness during Lent. But do you ever stop and wonder what God really thinks of you?

Poor poor Joseph. Sold to be a slave… but made prince of Egypt. Do you feel down and out? Fight ‘til you drop and you too can come out on top.

Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by over 5000 people. Yet even this could not produce faith.

Nothing makes a test easier than having the teacher give you the answers ahead of time. Jesus does that for us.

You better sit down for this one. We’ve got another day about a chair.

God wants you to tell him what you want, what you really really want. But in response, you get what you need.

Do you know why you’re here? What is your life about? Where are you going?

Catholics have a lot of strange feast days, but today we actually celebrate a chair. Sort of.

Would you invite Jesus to a party with your friends? Would he come? You should, and he would.

When the bridegroom is taken away, there is fasting… when present, feasting. So which situation are we in?

The prophet Joel begins today’s readings urging, “Even now” return to God. I love those two words together.

The name Eve means mother of all the living. But only the new Eve really lives up to the name.

I realized the other day that I don’t trust God. And then wondered why this surprised me.

Jesus healed lots of people. But he didn’t heal everyone. Why not?

Have you ever stayed up all night? St. Scholastica and St. Benedict did. Guess what they were talking about…

Sometimes you have to retreat so as to be strong enough to charge again.

Our God is a family and he wants us to be part of it.

Jesus claims he is God. His own family thinks he is crazy. What about you?

St. Vincent and other faithful Christians were willing to die at the hands of the state rather than deny Jesus. We need more martyrs today.

Women serve as some of the greatest role models in the Church. The witness of St. Agnes is especially beautiful.

St. Sebastian teaches us how to compete well for the faith.

Even bad things can be good when they cause us to desire heaven.

St. Paul of Thebes, the first hermit, teaches us what really matters.

We pray to see what must be done and have the strength to do what we have seen.
