A young man living in Nigeria applied to the United States government for a green card, and he got it. Do you know how hard it is to be a Nigerian and get a green card from the United States government? It is easier for you or me to walk across the street to the...

How Do You Know.  In the early hours on a Pentecost morning, one of the Boston hospitals called me to anoint a man named Tony. When I arrived, the patient’s wife was in the room. Just after I anointed Tony, he took his last breath and passed away. When I was leaving the hospital, I...

Fixing the Flaws. My brother gained a lot of weight over the years. The reason is because his daughter is a fantastic baker. My brother was the official taste-tester, and he paid a price. When I went home to see the family, between the Easter Masses, I opened the door, and my brother greeted me,...

Check it out. The disciple entered the tomb, and he saw and believed. That means believing is an experience of something amazing. If that is what belief feels like, then how can we believe all the time? Here is how. Believing is enjoying life with this one detail: five minutes at a time. Once when I...
