On the morning of October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorists rushed into southern Israel and slaughtered over 1300 Israelis and kidnapped at last count 199 people, including some Americans. The carnage was unlike anything seen since the Holocaust and images on the internet showed the brutality of the evil incarnate. People were burned alive, shot, and many were decapitated including babies. Israeli leadership vowed to destroy Hamas and “wipe them from the face of the earth”. If there was ever a... Read more

Mary said “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word” Then the angel departed from her. – Luke 1:38 With these words our salvation began. Mary’s “Yes” to God, agreeing to cooperate with God’s plan, resulted in the “Word Made Flesh”; Jesus. In order for all of us to cooperate with God’s plan for us we need to say “Yes” to God. How is your “Yes” going for you? Have... Read more

The crisis at the southern border is a man-made humanitarian crisis. All too often we hear stories with tragic consequences for the people coming to America, and the American people. Currently, all states are border states as the flow of people coming across the border has seen up to 11K people in 1 day. This is a very polarizing subject in the US. The government doesn’t seem interested in resolving the issue (they caused it), and we have millions of... Read more

If you were to google “Catholic Social Justice Teaching” right there at number 1 is the Life and Dignity of the Human Person. God is clear about the value He places on human life, especially children, in the Bible so why are we still having this conversation? I have said this before – you cannot be pro-life and still support the right for anyone to choose to kill an unborn child. Period. What are we waiting for? What Does the... Read more

In any relationship, constant communication is required to grow together, and to get closer to each other. Prayer is the central vehicle in to our relationship with God.

In the polarized world of today many people find it difficult to be kind to one another. Social media has played a big part in this problem. The safety of the electronic message has de-personalized conversations and too often reduced interactions to a couple of lines. Our politicians build their careers off the character assassination of their political opponents, and those that support different ideas and ideology. Just spend five minutes watching cable news and you will likely see people... Read more

If you’re a Catholic who regularly attends Mass, I’m sure you have noticed that the pews are not as crowded these days as they have been in the past. If your parish is like mine, you will also see the people in the seats predominantly have either gray or no hair. This is a growing and serious issue for the Catholic Church. Mass attendance is down significantly with fewer young people attending regularly. What has happened to cause this? Let’s... Read more

For Catholics, the family is at the center of God’s plan. God wants His children to be happy and live fulfilling lives. For many couples that includes having children. The world fertility rate, (number not children per woman), has been steadily falling since the 1970s and a growing number of couples who have struggled to have children have turned to artificial insemination as an aide to fulfill their dream. There are a myriad of reasons for these couples to turn... Read more

Catholics Under Attack

Catholics have been under attack for our beliefs going back centuries. Politicians of today are weaponizing the government against Catholics and our beliefs, in many cases to garner more votes for their campaigns. Many politicians are labeling Catholics “extremists” mostly due to our position on abortion, the sanctity of life, and gay marriage. Catholic values oppose society’s values that focus on the material world and individual rights, over the spiritual world and living the gospel. In the beginning …… America... Read more
