The Empty Pew
What is the most memorable image in a Catholic church? We see the exterior of the church, we walk up to the door, and we reach out for the handle. The door handle could be wood or metal. The door itself could be light or heavy. If the door opens, then we are able to…

The 5 Best Moments of your life are your Beacon of Hope
The patience God has for us is astounding. He offers us eternal bliss and happiness yet we prefer the finite goods of the world. Sinners we are when we renounce the state of grace in exchange for momentary pleasures of sin. In the moment, we are victims of our ignorance, weakness, and malice. However, if…

A Question for My Protestant Brothers and Sisters…
Naturally, I am Catholic. A fundamental belief of the Catholic Church is the Real Presence of the Eucharist. This belief is that Jesus Christ dwells truly and really in the Eucharist; Body Blood and Soul Divinity. The bread and wine BECOMES the Body and Blood of Jesus.

C.S. Lewis wrote a terrific book called, “Screw Tape Letters.” The premise of the book is that an elder demon is giving tips and advice to a younger demon. One such advice is about what should the subject focus their attention on: the past, present, or future? The demon proceeds to say absolutely do not…

Authority is a Pretty Big Deal
I have heard so many times, “Why does the Roman Catholic Church have so many rules?” But the quantity of rules is not an argument to avoid conversion. Just saying that the Church has a lot of rules is not an argument. At best it is a complaint, and at worse it is a whine.…
