Frassati Reflection: Inheritance

With every day that passes, I grow more and more convinced how ugly the world is, of how much suffering there is, and, unfortunately, of how it is the good who suffer the most. Meanwhile, we who have been given so many of God’s blessings have repaid Him poorly. This is an awful reality that… Read More Frassati Reflection: Inheritance

Frassati Reflection: Tested by Fire

In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. —1 Peter 1:6–7… Read More Frassati Reflection: Tested by Fire

Thought-Provoking Reads

Here are some great articles/blog posts I’ve read lately…not all of them are recent, but I’ve just gotten around to reading them and found them worth sharing: Simcha Fisher, “That death may march in the shade”: No one wants to be pro-death, exactly. When there’s a baby involved, we sweeten the deal and say, “Just… Read More Thought-Provoking Reads

Frassati Reflection: Leaving Room for the Holy Spirit

Reflecting yesterday upon the feast of Pentecost and the workings of the Holy Spirit, I was reminded of a passage I’d read recently, from Fr. Jacques Philippe’s Searching for and Maintaining Peace: We cannot experience this support of God unless we leave Him the necessary space in which He can express Himself….Many do not believe in… Read More Frassati Reflection: Leaving Room for the Holy Spirit

Over at Ignitum Today: Open Your Eyes to Creation

This is one of the simplest spiritual exercises you can put into practice, but it just might be powerful for you, too: Open your eyes. Turn off your phone. Look at the trees, the ephemeral spring blossoms, the rain rolling down your windowpane or the grasses being swayed back and forth by the invisible wind.… Read More Over at Ignitum Today: Open Your Eyes to Creation

Frassati Reflection: Take Courage

I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world. —John 16:33 Jesus doesn’t say that the Christian life will be easy—in fact, He tells us the opposite. He warns us that we will face persecution and… Read More Frassati Reflection: Take Courage

Frassati Reflection: A God Who Delights in Us

R. The Lord takes delight in his people. Let them praise his name in the festive dance, let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp. For the LORD loves his people, and he adorns the lowly with victory. R. The Lord takes delight in his people. —Psalms 149:3–4 Today’s psalm reminds us of… Read More Frassati Reflection: A God Who Delights in Us
