A talk on the connection between St. Francis and the Stations of the Cross. A man who lived the incarnation showed us what it means to imitate the suffering love of our Savior.

St. James is a drill sergeant when it comes to guarding our tongues and not allowing anger to guide our words and actions. This means seeing reality from God's perspective and not our own dim perspective.

Beware of the leaven of the pharisees and the leaven of Herod. Both of which tell us this world and our own power will make us happy.

We exist so long deepest longings of the people can be met by the deepest longings of Jesus Christ

You can't give what you don't have when it comes to love. So remember and experience (through prayer and adoration) that God has first loved you.

Prayer is a necessary condition to be a true disciple and to work for true justice in the world.

Pray for priests and for vocations to the priesthood. The priest is called to be the presence of Christ among His people.

The desire for God is the sole desire to which all other desires are subject. When we sin it comes from within our hearts and we cannot lay the entirety of responsibility at the feet of situations and circumstances.

Seeking refuge from the world in our Mother Mary.

God wants to be friends with us not just boss us around.
