Like the flowers of a tree, which should give place to fruit in due season

A prayer by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (from her autobiography) Jesus, my Divine Spouse, grant that I may ever keep my baptismal robe spotless. Take me from this world rather than let me tarnish my soul by one small voluntary fault. May I seek and find You alone! May no…

A defense of Mary as co-redemptrix

A defense of Mary as co-redemptrix

Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI have both argued against the title of “co-redemptrix” for our Blessed Mother.

The fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live

“I let Him act in me, with me, for me, according to His good pleasure.”

From a meditation by Father Mark Haydu: Our world hates to talk about sin, and sometimes even in the Church we shy away from teaching about our sinful nature. For instance, do you remember the last time you heard a homily about sin? Some will say, “That is too negative.…
