I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be on the Busted Halo Show with Fr. Dave Dwyer tonight at 7:20pm CST. Fr. Dave will interview me about my new book, “When’s God Gonna Show Up?” among other salty and sundry things. You can find Busted Halo at Sirius 159 or XM 117. Tune in and enjoy!
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.
