My latest contribution to the Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship is up! An excerpt: f there’s one word that summarizes St. Faustina, it’s “trust.” Keep in mind that private revelations are mostly a “take it or leave it” case and that not many saints receive visions. Many of Faustina’s sisters doubted her visions or belittled her as not being worthy of having them. Many skeptics would probably see her visions as hallucinations or delusions of grandeur. Faustina had to trust that these visions... Read more
The episode opens up with Matt finally regaining consciousness after his last battle with Nobu. Foggy comes in, telling him that Claire patched him. He has a lot of questions, the first of which is “Are you even really blind?” We flash back to Matt and Foggy’s college days. Foggy had long hair and a bro-beard like a hippie while Matt is your typical clean-shaven college boy. Foggy is keen on becoming Matt’s best friend right off the bat. They... Read more
If you can’t tell by how often I post on here, I basically live on the internet. I’m a self-proclaimed Instagram addict, I frequent Tumblr, I always post on Twitter, and I talk to more people through Facebook than in actual face-to-face conversation. So when the internet inevitably blows up with hashtags about current events, I find myself thinking about this video from BlimeyCow: Just replace “liking the Facebook page” and “wearing the t-shirt” with “copying the latest hashtag” and...

After the opening credits play, Father Lantom approaches Matt Murdock and says that he’s open for Confession. However, Matt wants to take the priest up on his latte offer. Fr. Lantom said that he is still willing to... Read more
I’ve stated before that I am very picky about the shows that I watch. I tend to avoid shows like The Big Bang Theory in which nerds are portrayed as stereotypical men who barely function socially and obsess over stuff nobody cares about. And it’s not just because “oh they’re making fun of nerds and I am one.” I always think that there is a way for nerdy and comedy to go together. Shows like Doctor Who and Buffy rank very high on the nerdy factor, but... Read more
I had the very very fortunate privilege of interviewing Matt Maher recently about his album “Saints and Sinners.” I have reviewed the album on this blog, but it’s quite another thing to hear the story behind the creative process in making this album. So where did the inspiration for this album come from? I was thinking about this next album while on tour for All the People Said Amen. Originally making protest songs, going back to the Shakespearean definition of the... Read more
The episode opens with Fisk waking up from a nightmare, unseen by the audience. He stares up at the painting he bought. Yo Yo Ma’s Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major plays as he cooks himself breakfast. He picks out a suit (they all honestly look the same to me) and a shirt to wear. As he gets dressed, he looks in the mirror and sees a young boy whose face is covered in blood, his younger self. Murdock’s... Read more
