Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own. You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me. (republished from 2021)

"Events happen to us pleasant or painful; we do not know at the time the meaning of them, we do not see God's hand in them. If indeed we have faith, we confess what we do not see, and take all that happens as His; but whether we will accept it in faith or not, certainly there is no other way of accepting it. We see nothing. We see not why things come, or whither they tend. Jacob cried out...

“The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for, until the cord be broken the bird cannot fly.” —Saint John of the Cross

"There are those who, while they recognize the glory of God as well as the importance of man and the call addressed to him in general, believe in false humility, that the call is meant for all others but not for their own person.

"The more I buy, the more I'm bought / and the more I'm bought, the less I cost" --Joe Pug, "Hymn #109"

Pope Saint John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla, was above all a preacher of God's Word. Much of his priesthood, episcopacy, and papacy was dedicated to opening the Scriptures so that they could bring life to the faithful. His formulation of the Law of the Gift offers us the chance to consider the ways in which we approach life as a game to be played rather than a gift to be shared, and to be conv...

“Jesus wants me to tell you again, especially in this Holy Week, how much is the love He has for each one of you – beyond all you can imagine.  I worry some of you still have not really met Jesus – one to one – you and Jesus alone. We may spend time in chapel – but have you seen with eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love?  Do you really know the living Jesus – not from books but from bei...
