I’ll be chatting with the vivacious and amusing John Harper, host of Relevant Radio’s “Morning Air” on Monday, October 13 at 8:30am CST. John and I will chat about avoiding a “Fit-fight at the Synod,” my upcoming trip to EWTN, and who knows what other intriguing and surprising things. Join us live or catch the podcast later here.
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.
