Today is the day we celebrate the annunciation of our Lord. Typically this is on March 25th (9 months before Christmas), but because the 25th was in Easter Week, it was moved to today.
This is the day that Mary said yes. This is the day that the Lord was made incarnate. His […]
For some time I have had a side-bar button that links to the Reason For our Hope Foundation run by Fr. Larry Richards. A friend of mine gave me a CD of Fr. Larry’s “Confession” talk that really moved me. I went back and downloaded more of Father Larry’s talks, and they were all […]
No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.Luke 16:13
I think it worth repeating this verse from Sunday’s Gospel for those of us living […]

I have a group of fellow Catholic men that meet weekly (most weeks anyways) to share our journeys and hold one another accountable. One question we ask ourselves each week was when we were most aware of Christ’s presence. At a meeting at my parish, a similar question […]
I was mentioning to the RCIA head at my parish (in response to questions about an adult faith formation series) that I was looking for a going deeper in understanding my faith. I said that I am very well catechized and knowledgeable already. She told me that I won’t get what I was […]
Two stories that caught my attention in the past 24 hours:
Marinovich arrested in Newport - OCRegister.com:
“NEWPORT BEACH - Onetime standout USC quarterback Todd Marinovich faces the latest in a long run of legal troubles after being charged with felony drug possession and resisting a police officer. Marinovich, 38, allegedly ran from police who tried […]
Today is the feast of the Assumption.
Let us praise God for the boast of the human race, our Blessed Mother!
Without her “yes” at the annunciation, we would still be in darkness. How wonderful she is! May we imitate her when God calls on us.
Let us praise Christ and thank him for the gift of […]
Check out the parody of Giuliani on the role of his faith at The Curt Jester. I’m not sure parody is correct, as I think it is a more coherent statement of Rudy’s position than he could make. Funny … and sad.
The Curt Jester: Separation of Faith and Actions:
“I have built a wall […]
Paul, just this guy, you know? always has a worthwhile blog. He puts it out there like he sees it. He has a series on how liberal ideas are causing persecution in different countries.
I link to these after reading this comment by Obama (you know that liberal senator who keeps […]
A Stem-Cell Heretic Makes His Case - WSJ.com:
“Embryonic stem-cell researchers are prone to touting the potential of their work to treat all sorts of ailments, from diabetes to Parkinson’s disease. Don’t bet on it, says James Sherley, a stem-cell specialist himself, who has become a notable heretic in the field.”
How interesting that we see the […]
I found this at Steve McEvoy’s Book Reviews & More. I come out as 100% Roman Catholic (and definitely not a modern liberal).
Check out the questionnaire and enjoy.
You scored as Roman Catholic, You are Roman Catholic. Church tradition and ecclesial authority are hugely important, and the most important part of worship for you […]
I borrowed this image from The Ironic Catholic. Check out her original post (and everything else at her site)!

Check out this 2003 article in Touchstone titled “The Truth About Men & Church.” It is about the role of fathers in the transmission of faith. Here is an excerpt:
“In short, if a father does not go to church, no matter how faithful his wife’s devotions, only one child in […]

Well I am back, and all I can say is WOW! I’m not going to share any of the details of the weekend, as it may be a spoiler, but let me share some of the fruits of the experience. Kevin commented that I was going to come back on […]
The picture is not one of mine, I got it from boglewood.com. The statue is titled The Ecstasy of S. Teresa di Avila.
“Believe me, the safest thing is to will only what God wills, for He knows us better than we know ourselves, and He loves us.”

Yesterday I was writing about whether I am doing all that I should given the talents God has given me. Is this wondering about myself a manifestation of pride? Perhaps I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be, and if I was more humble I would recognize that. I guess I want to […]
One of the things about giving up a VP job and working for yourself is that you wonder sometimes if you are a person of consequence. While there were many people below me and my decisions carried weight in determining the course of a company, it was clear that I was at least in […]
It has been hectic since the baptism. I have had to finish a couple of projects, I had a school board meeting for our Catholic school, and we had family visiting from Indiana. Not much time to put in a blog. Everyone is doing well, I continue to do alright with Gracie. I have it […]
