Pornography. Homosexuality. Gender reassignment surgery. Anger. Abortion. Pride. The World. These are the "cookies" we turn to for comfort. But they don't satisfy. Jesus offers us something FAR BETTER. But to receive this gift that totally satisfies, we have to drop the cookies in our life so our hands are free to receive all He wants to give us. I promise you, it will be worth it.

The Blessed Mother appeared twice in two different centuries to explain the power of the Scapular. St. John Paul II wore his every day. When he was shot on May 13, 1981 and rushed to the hospital he told the surgeons, "Do not remove my scapular during surgery." Here's why he said that...and why you should wear one too.

We need to evangelize the world...but not at the Mass. The Mass is where those who already know Jesus drink deeply of the Word and the Eucharist. This is the consummation of the marriage between God and man. This is where union occurs. The Mass is the deep end of the pool. And we will not evangelize properly until we get the Mass right.

St. Peter Julian Eymard was dubbed the "Apostle of the Eucharist" by Pope St. John Paul II. In one of the greatest meditations ever written, St. Peter Julian Eymard explained why Jesus Himself NEEDS the Eucharist. Sound like heresy? It isn't....

2,000 years ago Mary brought Jesus to the hill country of Judah. Elizabeth became the first person (other than Mary and Joseph) to adore Jesus Christ--through Mary. The same thing has happened again...It is a miracle!

Satan knows that once you understand the truth about God and His desire for you, he cannot do anything to divert you from heaven and happiness. 

The Holy Spirit is given to us at Baptism and Confirmation. Yet have you noticed that most of the baptized and confirmed don't seem to live any differently than the rest of the population? Most don't experience God. Why is this? In today's homily, I outline a sure-fire way to become holy and EXPERIENCE the Holy Spirit. This is how the Church will grow. Period.

“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.”

Those are the words of Jesus Christ…words He spoke to his disciples on the night before he died for all of us. He spoke those words to his disciples then, now and always.

“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.”

To understand the power behind these words, we have to know how the Father loves the Son.

Mother Teresa . St. Teresa of Avila. St. Catherine of Siena. St. Jeanne Jugan. They have done more good for the world than any charity or government--bar none. Our Church has a GREAT need for holy, faithful women religious. If it wasn't for them, our world might not exist. Think I am exaggerating? Listen...

The law of non-contradiction says something can both be and not be at the same time. In 30 days, the Basilica will have Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in Baltimore City. Jesus will be here--24/7. Now, in case you didn't know: the Basilica is only 3 blocks away from Planned Parenthood. Death and Life cannot be at the same time. The Eucharist (Life) will triumph over death. It's only a matter of time.
