If you caught my chat with John Harper this past Tuesday on Relevant Radio’s “Morning Air,” you’ll know that we had a lively discussion that barely hit the tip of the ice burg. So, I’ll be on again tomorrow, Thursday November 6 at 7:15am CST to continue our chat about how to strengthen our families and foster holiness at home. 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.
