The Gospel will always bring hardship, but God will always provide the necessary strength and consolation.
Sacrifice
February 09, 2020 – The Mass as Sacrifice
The Mass only makes sense when we realize that it is a participation in the one sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.
March 17, 2019 – Embracing the Cross
As we enter more deeply into this season of Lent, let’s pray to God that he might grant us the grace to follow him to the Cross, whatever the Cross might be in our lives. Let us pray for the grace to do the hard thing, because it is in these little sufferings and sacrifices that we will find our closeness to Jesus and our salvation.
June 03, 2018 – The Blood of Christ
We desired to offer ourselves to God, but since we could not, we offered animals instead. This act of sacrifice was holy. How much more so is the sacrifice of Christ?
February 25, 2018 – Abraham’s Imperfect Sacrifice
Our sacrifices are imperfect and incomplete. Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac would have done nothing. Instead, God sacrificed his own son.
