“I don’t have time to pray!,” some argue. “That is not true,” I tell them. They give me a thousand excuses and leave. Then time goes by and I observe them. Long hours spent watching TV and YouTube videos, checking Facebook, playing games, listening to music, pursuing a hobby… in short, everything is justifiable on […]

People often ask us to pray for them, whether they’re facing challenges personally, at home, at work, or they’re battling a particular illness. The common practice is that we promise to pray for that person, putting it off to some point in the future (that, let’s be honest, doesn’t always occur). Instead, one thing we […]

Maybe the answer was beyond our wildest dreams, better than we ever could have imagined. Maybe God didn’t answer your prayer, and you […]

There are treasures hidden in plain sight in the world and in our faith. The Our Father is one such storehouse of awe that is so familiar, so up-close to Catholics that – perhaps – we seldom pause and behold it for what it truly is. Non-Christians know the words of the Lord’s Prayer, but […]

When you wake up in the morning, get on your knees: One of the greatest means of salvation and one of the surest signs of predestination, is unquestionably, the devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin.
