Tune into Sacred Heart Radio’s Sonrise Morning Show on Monday, October 24 at 6:45AM EST. Brian Patrick and I will chat about Strengthening Your Family: A Catholic Approach to Holiness at Home. Listen live or catch the podcast later. This will be the world’s first glimpse of the new book! Exciting!
Grace does not erase who we are; it perfects and elevates what God has already placed within us. As the Catechism teaches, “Grace builds on nature” (CCC 2005). Strengths are part of that nature, and when we understand them, we can cooperate with grace more freely. Instead of trying to imitate someone else’s path to holiness, we can cultivate virtue in the way God designed us to flourish.
The American Flag is a symbol of our heritage. Not a perfect heritage, and not a simple one, but a real one.
Mary reminds us that holiness is possible in ordinary life. Her humility counters our culture's obsession with self-promotion, her trust challenges our need for control, and her tenderness softens the edges of our hurried hearts.
