christian life-changing evil
The church is: a conspiracy of love for a dying world, a spy mission into enemy occupied territory ruled by the powers of evil; a prophet from God with the greatest news the world has ever heard, the most life changing and most revolutionary institution that has existed on earth.
pain simple listening-to-others
Listening to other people's needs is listening to God. Noticing simple, natural beauty, hearing music, even confronting the challenge of pain and problems - that can all be listening to God too.
humility self catholic
Humility is not an exaggeratedly low opinion of yourself. Humility is self-forgetfulness.
heart men turns
The heart is like a woman, and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
doe fool christ
The most compelling evidence for God's existence is Christ. If God does not exist, then Christ was the biggest fool who ever lived.
jesus joy secret
The secret of joy is hidden in the word itself: first J, then O, then Y: Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last.
catholic three-things lovers
If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.
love kindness suffering
Kindness-mere kindness-cannot tolerate suffering. Love can.
unlimited-love may goodness
Only God may be adored, because only God is unlimited goodness, truth, and beauty, and thus only God deserves unlimited love.
cheating lying divorce
No one justifies lying, cheating, betraying, promise breaking, devastating and harming strangers. But we expect and we tolerate doing this to the one person in the world we promised most seriously to be faithful to forever: we justify divorce.
spiritual real sacrifice
It is the modern feminists who are the real male chauvinists, lusting for reproductive freedom (sexual irresponsibility) like playboys and demanding empowerment, that is, envying and imitating not only males, but male fools, judging inner worth by outer performance, sacrificing being for doing, finding their identity in their worldly careers, not in their inner essence, in their physical and spiritual wombs and motherhoods. This is what Karl Stern called "the flight from woman."
ideas elitist persons
Be egalitarian regarding persons. Be elitist regarding ideas.
things-in-life knowing six
The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.
water grace littles
Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.
