Contact Privately Patience in Adversity November 25th, 2009 Listen Now
Patience is part of the virtue of fortitude. Our Lord exhorts us to have patience and to persevere no matter what should happen in our lives. Patience gives us the opportunity for us to grow in humility. Posted in Humility, Mortification, Ordinary Time, Virtue | Tags: | No Comments
Loving the Virtue of Chastity November 21st, 2009 Listen Now
Without holy purity it is impossible to love. The sexual faculty is for marriage alone. Any sex of any sort outside of marriage is perversion. But there is also a chastity that is ordered to marriage besides the obvious one involving adultery and lust for others.

Our Feet of Clay November 24th, 2009 Listen Now
We all have feet of clay. One thing that is always before us is our sinfulness and weakness. But, God promises that no temptation will overcome us that we cannot handle and that He does not provide a way of escape. Trust and lean upon Jesus and through His sufficiency we can live the victorious Christ life. Posted in Abandonment, Faith, Humility, Ordinary Time, Spiritual Life, Virtue | Tags: | No Comments
Like a Walled City November 12th, 2009 Listen Now
We can learn a lot from the charity of the first Christians. Those who converted to Christ came from every strata of society — the rich, the poor, and even the slave. Let us too live in charity toward others of all stripes in a practical and profound way. Posted in Love, Ordinary Time, Our Neighbor, Virtue | Tags: | No Comments
