Want Peace? Prove It.
by
in ReflectionsEverybody says they want peace. But do they really? Do you? Last weekend I served as a lector at Mass and proclaimed the reading from the first book of Kings, in which Elijah heard the voice of God not in the storm, earthquake, or fire, but in a still, small voice. (1 Kings 19:9-13) God…

God With Us
by
“The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities of service to the Church and to the whole world … Let Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts. It is he who is the true answer of life that you seek. He stays here…

Weed Killer for the Soul
by
in ReflectionsWeed season is here. We’re barely into spring here in Sheboygan, and already a dang thistle has popped up in the middle of our fire pit.

(Then maybe we’ll turn our attention to cute lambs and good shepherds.) I think it’s safe to say that, for most of us, our lives…

Stealing The Devil’s Playbook
by
in ReflectionsHere’s a fun exercise: Pretend you’re a general in Satan’s army. (Stay with me here…) Just for a moment, imagine you’re one of the bad guys. Now, ask yourself a question: “How would YOU defeat you if you were on the devil’s side?” I once described my spiritual life as feeling like I am falling into…
