Spirituality
The following posts discuss some general principles of the spiritual life that I think are helpful.
We all pass through times of spiritual consolation and desolation. Both should be opportunities to grow closer to God provided we act appropriately during each time.
Our thoughts affect how we feel and act. As Christians it is important that we "evangelize our thoughts".
We need to realize that as followers of Jesus, we have an enemy. We need strategies for fighting back.
Being critical of others is a fault that many of us struggle to overcome. Here are some tips for doing this.
Everything we do as Christians is in response to God who has first loved us. Being greatful to God for all His gifts helps us to live with more peace and joy. The Examen, from St. Ignatius of Loyola, is prayer that helps us to live with more gratitude.
The Daily Offering is a helpful way to make sure that we strive to always put Jesus first in our busy lives.
In this Easter homily I try to explain that we experience the Resurrection in our life when God makes our past difficult and painful experiences fruitful for ourselves and others.
