"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done..." We pray that all the time, if we're believing Christians. It's part of the "Lord's Prayer" or the "Our Father," as we Catholics refer to the prayer. It's vitally important because these are Jesus' words to His disciples in response to their request that Jesus, "teach us how … Continue reading Thy Will Be Done…
About my brother
This is me with my big brother, Mike. He used to tell people that he taught me how to slide into 2nd base and throw a football. I think he thought of me as his little brother when we were kids. Only 21 months apart, I looked up to him and wanted to do whatever … Continue reading About my brother
No One Else Knows
Today is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. I heard today that some historians think Francis may have suffered from a bipolar disorder. Or maybe from Post-Traumatic Stress. He wanted to be a Soldier once. He saw comrades die in battle and he was taken prisoner. Held hostage for about a year, till his … Continue reading No One Else Knows
Peloton
I like to listen to podcasts in the car as I travel back and forth to classes. It's about a 40-50 minute drive most of the time. I also like to listen to various podcasts at the gym. Yesterday morning I listened to a Catholic Stuff You Should Know podcast while working out on the … Continue reading Peloton

It's very moving. Love the song, of course. I actually like his little monologue prior to the music video the best. When … Continue reading Why God?
You are a born leader

While traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid,” servant leadership is different. The servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop … Continue reading You are a born leader
One, good friend
I received this video from my dad in an email a couple of days ago. It's a beautiful little story about a humble, unassuming factory worker named Ben who pays his respects each day to the Lord. I don't want to spoil it if you haven't watched it yet. So go do that. I'll wait … Continue reading One, good friend
“Jesus I trust in You”
My latest entry is up on the Women in the New Evangelization website! WINE is a fabulous initiative to get Catholic Women together to learn and grow in their faith, and to evangelize to others who do not know God or the faith, even if they were raised in it! It happens, believe me! I … Continue reading “Jesus I trust in You”
Much Of You
So, a couple of days ago I talked about a prayer, a song, a saint, and a school that all were centered on Christ on the Cross. Well, today I heard the song below and it, too, seems to have been written while considering Jesus' suffering and dying on the Cross. And the reasons for … Continue reading Much Of You
