Peter and Pan and the United States of America | The Monday After
2d ago00:30:16Summary readyIf remaining with people requires forgiving them all the time, and forgiving people all the time will make us more like Christ, then perhaps it's good for us that we challenge one another. Good for us, personally. Good for our loved ones. And good for our country.
Summary
The 18 Holes of Life
1w ago00:10:48Summary readyI grew up golfing. I still golf. Sometimes I think I should quit. But something tells me that God wants me to keep playing because of what it teaches me about life. Many people promise us an escape from failures, mistakes and losses. But what if there were something for us to be gained from those as well by offering them to God too?

Life in Between is Beautiful | The Monday After
1w ago00:18:50Summary readyIt's never easy to be "in between," but it is possible with the Church.
Summary
Marriage and Motherhood | The Monday After
2w ago00:20:36Summary readyThe natural communion of marriage and motherhood remains the basis of all society in this world, but the Holy Communion of the Church, which is a holy marriage and holy motherhood, is the new and eternal basis for life in the world to come.

Sing Sweet Spring | Saint Louis de Montfort
4w ago00:16:36Summary readySaints emerge from the times in which they live, and Saint Louis de Montfort lived in a time not all that different than our own. It was a matter of belonging to Christ through a kind of holy slavery in order to be free.
Summary
An Ocean of Second Chances | The Monday After
Apr 1300:19:50Summary readyI grew up “looking in” at the Church. I felt that way even when I was in the Seminary studying for the priesthood, like I didn’t really belong there. And I feel that way now that I’m ordained. It’s not the virtue of humility; it’s just what it is for me, but it shapes the way I preach to people (and speak to you hear). I’m always like Thomas in that way: the other guys see it first before me, and then I get let in to the thing later. I’ve come to understand about myself that I am a man completely dependent on second chances. My only hope for holiness (or heaven) is in second chances. And when I preach I tend to consider of first importance those in the church who may feel like they’re looking in at something from the outside and need a second chance.

A Resuscitating Friendship | The Monday After
Mar 2400:14:15Summary readyWith time and openness to the resuscitating friendship of Christ, friendship between men is possible. Lazarus shows us this.
Summary
Alone Together with The Eternal Sunrise | The Monday After
Mar 1600:21:02Summary readyTo be Christian is to be alone, but to be alone together with Christ and with one another in the Church. We are those blessed few who have been sought and found by Christ, the Eternal Sunrise, Who shines us who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and Who guides our feet into the way of peace.
Summary
An Unexpected Restoration to Life | The Monday After
Mar 900:12:34Summary readyLife isn't programmed, but it isn't entirely random either. It seems that Our Lord knew the Samaritan woman would be at the well, just as He knows where to find us when we're hiding, or just in need of restoration.
Summary
Hope for Family Life and World War | The Monday After
Mar 200:22:42Summary readyIs it necessary that all conflict must become all-out war? Is the annihilation of the enemy what makes for peace? Or, is there some way to permit that there will always be conflict in a fallen world, but that not all conflict needs to lead to the tearing apart of peoples. In fact, what if there were a way to be drawn even closer together through conflict?
