There’s a place I know…
The line ‘I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth’ sends a shiver down my spine. Same. — read more

Reflecting a bit on Pope Francis
From Paul Fahey: John Paul II’s fingerprints were all over every aspect of my Catholic formation. As much as that American JPII culture helped me build a foundation of faith and religious practice, it was also deeply ill. Forged as a reaction to the “crazy season” after Vatican II and the widespread rejection of the… — read more

To wash our brethren’s feet
St. John Henry Newman: Never does God give faith, but He tries it. Never does He implant the wish to sit on His right hand and on His left, but He fulfills it by making us wash our brethren’s feet. — read more

Another quote for Lent
This reflection from Ed Condon is a nice complement to the Lenten reflection from J.D. Flynn that I linked to recently: …My instinct is to panic. To complain. To work longer hours. To commit myself to my own strength and efforts to save me… This coming week, this last week of Lent, is a final… — read more

St. Peter Julian Eymard
I just realized that I’ve referenced two books by Father Donald H. Calloway, MIC, in my first five posts. And in both cases I was pulling quotes from St. Peter Julian Eymard.

I was reminded, of course, that the Lord does have people, and that we, for better or worse, are them.… — read more

A blog I’ve been finding worthwhile…
…is this one from Emily Stimpson Chapman: Through a Glass Darkly (great title). Two good recent articles: 100% worth the subscription if you can swing it. Aside: Do I refer to this as a “Substack” or a blog? I’m going to side with the individual writers and stick with “blog.” . . . Although, in… — read more

While I try to get things in order here…
…I’ll share these words from St. Peter Julian Eymard that have stayed with me since I first read them: Eucharistic adorers share Mary’s life and mission of prayer at the foot of the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is the most beautiful of all missions, and it holds no perils. It is the most holy, for… — read more
