Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
It’s Holy Thursday today, as you likely know, and this year I am confronted with humanity: humanity in all of its ugly beauty. That’s right. Humanity is beautiful. And humanity is ugly. Sort of like the Cross. Today we commemorate Christ, eating the Last Supper with his dear ones, washing their feet, dipping his hand[…]
People like to know where they are going. They like to have directions, to know when and where they will arrive at the end of a journey. They like being in control of a situation, or at least knowing who is in charge and what the plan is. The funny thing is that, in real[…]
I don’t know what it is about women, but most of us tend to find relationships utterly fascinating. Get some girls together, and regardless of where the conversation starts, it usually ends up in a discussion centering around interactions between the sexes. In some ways, I find this truly bizarre. I have absolutely brilliant friends[…]
For the past week, a lot of my family’s television watching has centered around EWTN and Raymond Arroyo’s coverage of what is going in Rome. (Side note: isn’t it impressive that Raymond Arroyo looks exactly the same as he did eight years ago?) My youngest brother (he’s ten) is constantly wondering who will be the[…]
Okay, I’m going to do it. You’re probably all Pope-d out as there hasn’t been a moment’s break from all things “Pope” since Benedict said, “I’m done” and Francis said, “I’m good to go.” But I’m going to go for it anyways. Today I felt The Spirit, hovering and igniting the world just as He did two[…]
I thought it strikingly ridiculous, during my morning “scroll” the other day, when I came across two hundred pictures of an acquaintances’ acquaintance and her debaucherous evening out. Two hundred pictures taken in about four hours? What is that, a little less than one picture per minute? (I’m strikingly bad at math…) It seems to[…]
I thoroughly enjoy books which give great insight to the inner workings of man’s character and soul while being breathtakingly eloquent. Character-driven, the substance of my preferred novels are usually heavy with tight-lipped drama and caged passion which cannot seem to break its chains, and usually span years and decades in their timelines. Reading, for[…]
One day years ago, while channel surfing, I came across a news story about a woman who became a man, and had decided to have a child. Because he still had the reproductive organs of a woman, he was able to accomplish bearing a child, while looking, in every other observable way, like the masculine[…]
Sometime after my family started traveling, my sister and her husband began traveling full time as well. They now travel with their two children, my two-year-old niece and my four-month-old nephew. My niece has spent a surprising amount of her life traveling from place to place. She handles moving pretty well, and seems to like[…]
“You dream of great deeds. Everyone, these days, reads about Charles de Foucauld. Many have a starry-eyed look. They wonder if they shouldn’t become a Little Sister or Brother of de Foucauld. But, when I listen to their conversations, I want to cry. Not one of them stops to think what a heroic life he[…]
