A search for home in a year of journaling focused on the miracle of the everyday. One need not look far, if one's eyes are anointed by the Blood of Christ, to see the miracle that is life all around us.... but it is so easy to miss. Mr. Kurt helps us recognize how our lives, as mundane as they may seem and as difficult as they can be (especially in 2020, the time of this writing), are wrapped in the miraculous. And these miracles lead us home,...

Much as he did in his previous work, Our Daily Bread: Exposition of the Readings of Catholic Mass, the author has sought to let Scripture speak for itself. This is again evident in extensive quoting and paraphrasing of the Word, but perhaps more significantly in his taking as guiding principle the Lord's instruction not to consider beforehand what to say when brought to bear witness to Him (see Mk.13:11). After reading the chapters of the Gosp...

This book on the Divine NAME and an order of life founded upon it is a prayer for all to be released from slavery to words, to things of the world, to blindness and sin… and come into the Lord's presence as His children. Essentially, it asks whether it is sufficient to confine ourselves to saying of the Father's Divine NAME that it is too sacred to be pronounced, whether this may not constitute a kind of avoidance of realization of a great gif...

Paradox and the Christian Faith: The words of Christ can indeed seem confusing to the uninitiated mind, to him who thinks only as the world thinks. Those who have not had a change of heart, those who have not put on the mind of Christ, how can they understand the teaching that "the last shall be first, " or that "one must die to live"…? And confusion will tun to repulsion when he realizes the humility and sacrifice to which he is being called....

Is there not a terrible lack of Bible literacy in our day, and is it not accompanied by a disturbing lack of faith exhibited even by scholars who interpret the Word of God? A remedy for such "ignorance of Scripture [which] is ignorance of Christ" (St. Jerome) may be found in this inspired work of synopsis and exhortation.Short chapters with succinct titles cover thematic sections of all the books of the Old Testament, providing the reader with...

A page of prayer to each saint on the General Roman Calendar for the United States. Originally published in 2007, the book has been updated (2019) to include ten additional saints. The saints are presented in chronological order, each with a full page of poetic prayer. The book serves as an aide to our communion in the Body of Christ with the "great cloud of witnesses" in Heaven. It has the imprimatur of the Catholic Church.

Fr. De Caussade is most well known for his book Abandonment to Divine Providence. And for good reason - it is a spiritual classic. Less well known is the counsel he gave in (published) letters to cloistered nuns in his care. There is, I suppose, good reason for this, too - they constantly drive home, like nails through hands and feet, the need to abandon ourselves to Providence whatever the circumstances may be. One could call them repetitive:...

If "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ, " as St. Jerome has told us, then lack of faith in Scripture is lack of faith in Christ. It is the author's contention that much biblical commentary in recent centuries has served to undermine the faith of the Church, and that this deleterious effect is profound and has gone greatly unnoticed.Any number of commentaries could be addressed - there are, for instance, similar problems with the com...

Blessed GuiltThere is a drop of bloodthat falls from the Cross of Christ. Whence does it come but His pierced side, His pierced head, His pierced feet and hands? Upon whom does it fall but him who kneels beneath the Cross, who looks upon the Lord with tears - the man who has pierced Him? And what does this blood do but wash away his sins?

On Plenary Indulgence Why has the baby been thrown out with the bathwater, the power of Peter to bind and loose been cast aside so unceremoniously, and so the Word of Christ become overshadowed? If the only son of God imparts to His church the power to forgive men's sins in His name, and if that church has pronounced the availability of the great grace even of removal of temporal punishment by the prayers of devout souls (souls who ask in the ...

Word and Sacrament. This is the food that sustains us here on our pilgrimage to heaven. The Word of God and the Sacrament of the altar this is our daily bread. What greater gift could we ask for than to hear the Word of God proclaimed and receive our Lord each day at holy Mass? This is the foundation of our faith, here is the paragon of prayer which strengthens us for our work in this world. In this writing the author has sought to allow the S...

The words of Christ can indeed seem confusing to the uninitiated mind, to him who thinks only as the world thinks, as a selfish man has come to view life. For the world tells us to look out for number one and get all the money and power we can amass-this is the way to win the race. And so those who have not had a change of heart, those who have not put on the mind of Christ-how can they understand the teaching that "The last shall be first" or...
