MEN OF COURAGEOUS FAITH
I was blessed to grow up with a father who was a very principled man. He stood strong in what he believed in and was not afraid to say what was on his mind. Sometimes people did not like what he said, but he said it anyway. And through it…

THE HOLY FAMILY
I have had a devotion to the Holy Family for years. It really started when my wife and I had children. It seems like a natural progression as I never really pondered the Holy Family before. No matter how this devotion came to be, it has been full of graces.…

WE MUST BE THANKFUL
In today’s culture we seem to be losing our sense of thankfulness. It is a sad commentary that we are inclined to rely on ourselves and take credit for that which is good…and blame others for any bad. In reality, all that we have has been given to us. It…

CARRY THE CROSS
We are told that we must pick up and carry our cross every day. We are also told that we are to unite our sufferings, cross if you will, to Christ’s suffering and cross. The only way to bear the weight of our crosses is with the help of Jesus.…
