Harvesting The Fruits of Contemplation

“All that we do without offering it to God, is wasted.” – St. John Marie Vianney

"If you ate only one meal a week would you survive? It is the same for your soul. Nourish it with the Blessed Sacrament."— St. Andre Bessette

A PERMANENT QUESTION

When we spend time with Jesus we become like Him. Why are we not encouraged to do so?

Virtual Blog Tour - Mentored for Good by Keith Lilek

What a privilege it is to participate in this Virtual Book Tour! In the past, I have been the beneficiary of authors who participated in Virtual Blog tours for several of my books. When I am asked to reciprocate for a fellow author, I generally jump right in. That was the case when a friend asked me to take a look at Keith Lilek's Mentored for Good. I had no idea who Keith was. I soon learned this about him: He has dedicated himself to learning, absorbing knowledge, and living out the teachings of his faith... He is happy with who he has become...but he didn’t get there by himself. He is the beneficiary of many God-inspired mentors throughout his life. Their guidance and wisdom have shaped him into the person he is today. Do you remember who lifted you at various times in your life? Who inspired you to actively change your course? He does. He remembers. He remembers them all. And he wants to share with you how their guidance and his willingness to learn transformed his...

Don't Overlook This Palm Sunday Message

Thank you Father Darr Schoenhofen: Palm Sunday without Palms This day, the beginning of an extraordinary Holy Week of unprecedented imposed penitential deprivation, open your hands, palms up toward heaven, and pray: Jesus, our King, ridiculed, rejected, and crucified for our sins, have mercy on us, for we have sinned; have mercy on us, Lord, for we have sinned .

Good Friday Reflection

This is not just another Friday. This is Good Friday. Will that fact make any difference in the way we live this day? For far too many of us, today will likely pass much like any other Friday - a mad rush to get to the weekend with little thought of He Who made us and whose sacrificial and brutal death redeemed us. Where is our gratitude? Unforgettable (Source: Wikimedia Commons ) This the day so long foretold This the day of justice lacking This the day of man’s ingratitude This the day of cowardice and fear

Eucharistic Reflection - Listen To What God Says

"When you have received Holy Communion, rise up reverently, return to your place and kneel down; do not at once take your book or your beads. I do not like to see people begin to read as soon as they have come from the altar. Oh no, of what use are the words of men when it is the good God who speaks? We must be like someone who is curious and who listens at doors. We must listen to what the good God says at the door of our heart." (From The Eucharistic Meditations of the Cure of Ars )

Eucharistic Reflection - The Secret of My Day

"The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities or service to the Church and to the whole world...Let Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts. It is He who is the true answer of life that you seek. He stays here with us: He is God with us. Seek Him without tiring , welcome Him without reserve , love Him without interruption : today, tomorrow, forever." (St. John Paul II — Address to young people of Bologna , Italy, Sept. 27, 1997)

Eucharistic Reflection - To Have The Right Intention

"There are some people who go to Holy Communion to gain the esteem of the world. It avails them nothing. Others go out of habit. Poor Communions, they have not the right intention. Go to Communion to obey Jesus Christ, who has commanded you to do so, under pain of not having eternal life. Go to Communion to obtain the graces that you need, humility, patience, purity. Go to the Holy Table to unite yourself to Jesus Christ so that He will make of you other Christ’s, which happens to those who receive Him worthily. When you go to Holy Communion you should always have an intention, and say when about to receive the Body of Our Lord: 'O my good Father, who art in heaven, I offer you, at this moment, your dear Son, such as He was when He was taken down from the Cross, and laid in the arms of the Holy Virgin, and as she offered Him to You in sacrifice for us. I offer Him to You by the hands of Mary, to obtain such or such graces, faith, charity, humility.' My children, listen w...
