Catch me on Sacred Heart Radio’s Son Rise Morning Show with Brian Patrick on Friday, May 29 at 7:40am CST. You can listen on 740AM in the Cinncinnati area or online at www.sacredheartradio.com. Brian will be interviewing me about When’s God Gonna Show Up?.
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.
