Reflection 263: God as Your Helmsman in the Storm

Reflection 263: God as Your Helmsman in the Storm - Imagine being a small child on a small boat in the middle of the sea. A storm sets in and you cannot see land in any direction.

Reflection 262: The Rule of Love or Justice

Reflection 262: The Rule of Love or Justice - We cannot escape the Hand of God. He is the one who sustains the Universe and keeps all things in being. Without His constant care we would cease to exist. But we remain under His providential Hand in one of two ways. Either we are guided by the “rule of love” or by the “rule of justice.” The......

Reflection 259: The Beauty of the Humble Soul

Reflection 259: The Beauty of the Humble Soul - What is it that makes someone beautiful? More than anything else it is the virtue of humility. Humility is exceptionally attractive.

Reflection 258: The Closeness of God

Reflection 258: The Closeness of God - Where is God? It’s easy to think of God being in Heaven or some far off place, looking down upon us and guiding all of creation in accord with His holy Will. This is true, but it’s not the full picture. God is perfectly “transcendent” in that He is way beyond us and beyond the created world. But He...... Read more at: Read the full article

Reflection 257: The Long Term Plan of God - When you seek to serve our Lord with your whole heart, you may find that He speaks to you about His daily Will. It may not be completely clear, but you may have a sense that He wants this or that from you. God does not typically present you with the entire plan He has for your life all......

Reflection 256: Doing Your Best

Reflection 256: Doing Your Best - Saint Mother Teresa is often quoted as saying that God asks us to be faithful, not successful. In other words, we are called to offer our best to the Lord, striving to be faithful to His holy Will, and then leave the rest to Him. At times it may appear that our “best” does not produce the desired good fruit...... Read more at: Read the full article

Reflection 255: The “Blessing” of Sin

Reflection 255: The “Blessing” of Sin - This may seem like an unusual title. How can sin be a “blessing?” True, strictly speaking sin is an offense against God and has the effect of separating us from God. Thus, sin is not a blessing in the strict sense. But God is All-Powerful and can use everything for His glory...... Read more at: Read the full article
