waking up to our spiritual reality

Month: November 2009

apparitions & faith

As a Catholic, I'm very familiar with the stories and history of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary.  Many would argue that these are hoaxes put on to fool the masses, but I don't believe that to be true.  I also don't think it really matters whether they're real or not...here's why.

wisdom listens

I saw a quote recently that resonates very strongly with me.  It was, "Knowledge Speaks, Wisdom Listens."  I'm not sure if this is a well-known proverb, is from scripture or a quote of anyone in particular but it stands on its' own just fine.

no greater love

One of my favorite new shows is the ABC show "Flash Forward".  It does a great job of combining drama and science fiction from a moral standpoint.  I wanted to discuss a recent episode ("The Gift") that had a major scene that I think relates very well to our Christian faith.  If you haven't seen … Continue reading no greater love →
