Today’s Gospel reminds us that God’s kingdom looks different from our guest list. All are invited—east and west, north and south. The real question is not who gets in, but whether we’re living as if the door is open to everyone.
Will I see my dog heaven? The question may sometimes sound a bit naïve and simplistic.
Not everyone is easy to love. But love isn’t always about agreement or affection—it’s about dignity. Sometimes we need our love to help us with how we walk and interact with others.
Like Christ, who died upon another tree, our oak had to expire in order to inspire.
When we say a rosary, we know that the repetition upon the beads calms us down, brings solace and peace. Today, rediscover the simple words of the Hail Mary prayer, and how wonderful it is that when we say a rosary we ask Mary to pray for us–50 times.
In the Book of Job, a lot is made out of that whirlwind that comes at the end, but very little is made out of the fact that the book begins with another whirlwind—the one that destroys his crops, wealth, and, finally, his children.
As Jesus noted, loving our neighbor is easy when our neighbor is lovable.
For decades, the saints have been my mentors in prayer, faith companions whom the centuries cannot separate, beloved friends.
Sometimes a spiritual life can feel stagnant and dry. The ways we are used to connect to God seem to no longer work. Maybe it is not so much that God is far away but we need to instead rediscover God in new ways, experiences, ways of prayer.
We know that God has a special love for the “little ones”: children, the poor, the sick, and all those who do not sit at the levers of political, financial, or cultural power.
