Transfiguration and Transubstantiation! Faith is that whether we experience or not God is working. Faith that this is the way God wants us to worship and his is transforming us. Transubstantiation of Bread and Wine in the Mass is similar to the Transfiguration. “My Lord and My God”. “I believe help my unbelief”. We don’t stay on the mountain. After experiencing the glory of God we are sent back out into the messy world. 3/8/20

Satan, Sin, and Salvation Satan is real. Sin closed the doors of heaven. God the Father in his infinite love sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to bring us back to himself. We participate in that salvation primarily and most perfectly in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where that saving work is made present once again. We as Catholics have this great gift that so many don’t understand. There are many Signs and Symbols to learn about in Mass. The liturgy of the Word culminates with the Gospel. Encounter Jesus in the Gospel at Mass. 3/1/20

Repent and believe in the Gospel! Remember that you are dust and unto dust you shall return! We make sacrifices to remember our need for God in our life. Remember that our stomach is not our God. 2/26/20

Be Holy and set apart like God. This lent do less not more. We only have so much time in a day. If we are going to be more holy and say Yes to God then we need to say No to other things in our life. We need to say No to the bad things first in order to do better things. Sometimes however we need to say no to Good things to be able to say Yes to the Best things. Do less so we can do more. 2/23/20

The Wisdom of the World is tempting and easy to understand. The Wisdom of God is often difficult to understand at times. We can choose life or death. God or the World. Why would we ever choose death? Because we sometimes choose death in our concupiscence. 2/16/20

Salt gives taste to food. Jesus gives purpose, meaning, and worth to life. Without Jesus our lives are dark. We need to keep the salt and light of Christ in our life and help other people regain their salt and light. 2/9/20

St. Jerome says, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ”. This is certainly true and a huge defect in many Catholics. Today I would like to do a shore Lectio Divina and pray with scripture to come to know it better. 2/2/20

Why does God seem to bless some people and not bless others? Does He like some people and not like others? Does he predestine some people to Heaven or Hell? No, He predestines everyone to Heaven. Our salvation is not individualized though. God is preparing us for salvation and the salvation of the world.

Do we believe that God actually has our good in mind? Is worshiping him and giving of ourselves for our good in the midst of so much darkness? The light shines in darkness. We are receiving grace to be that light. One of the greatest ways we can share the grace of God is by having spiritual conversations. 1/5/20
