The Ouija Board was a fad in the 60s and 70s – a dangerous fad. This year, it’s making a comeback, big time. It’s #5 on the Top Ten Trending Toys on Google, right amid American Girl, My Little Pony, and Legos. This “spirit” board is by no means a game. It’s an instrument of the occult and can open your kids’ souls to evil spirits. That goes for adults, too. Please read my latest for Aleteia.org and warn everyone you know that Ouija is NOT just a silly game!
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.
