Bridge of Meditation Into His Heart
Jeannie Ewing - Apr 7, 2022
It is when our nothingness encounters God’s perfection that we are truly transformed. God chooses to demonstrate His power when we choose to humble ourselves to the extreme and allow Him to do whatever He wishes. Once this occurs, we find ourselves dissolve into Him, so that His will finally, at long last, becomes ours, too. -
St. Scholastica As a Sibling
Josh Florence - Feb 10, 2022
The holy "siblingship" between St. Scholastica and St. Benedict offer insight into the gift of siblings. They led each other to holiness of life and this is something that can be a model for us and our siblings. Even for those who may not have siblings we have adopted brothers and sisters in Christ to call us to greater holiness. We must remember that The Blood of Christ runs deep in his adopted children and unites us. -

The average person today might call you crazy if you told a story like that… being visited by even one angel, let alone a multitude of them. As we draw ever nearer to Christmas, let us keep our eyes, ears, hearts and minds open to the many ways God tries to communicate that love for us each day – especially the angels He places to light our path. -

Jesus, Our Guest In Little Things
John Kubasak - Oct 26, 2021
The process of prayer, perseverance in struggles, and submission to the will of God can transform a day. Jesus is there from start to finish: we pray to commune with Him; persevering through difficulties leads us to desire Him more; submitting ourselves to the will of God brings us even closer to Him. Let us draw closer to Him so that He may draw us closer to Himself.

Letter Lessons
The newest addition to The Cora Evans Library. “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Lk 9:23). Being a Catholic Christian is a call to action. Our God is not passive or indifferent or lukewarm. He is active, involved, and on fire. And He is vying with the devil for your soul. Following Jesus takes perseverance, self-denial, trust, and total commitment. This is not a book about Jesus; it’s about you and how you open yourself to Him in ways you’ve never even considered.”
