Just When I Needed You Most… I woke up at 4 am last Friday morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I decided to just have some extended prayer time. I ended up spending two hours listening to an audiobook entitled, “The Passion, as Dictated by Jesus to Catalina” (CLICK HERE FOR THE PDF). …
Fill My Cup, Lord! (click to hear the song) This song by Andrew Ripp has been playing in my head since reading the story of Elisha and the Widow’s jar of Oil, (from 2Kings 4) this morning. The song, like the story, is about our emptiness without God, and about His provision for those who …
Just Enough… Is what we do on the sidewalks in front of Planned Parenthood ENOUGH? There we are, in our many layers of clothing, hats and gloves…some kneeling on the wet pavement…human excrement in the doorway in front of us…while just inside those walls Planned Parenthood routinely and cooly ends the lives of over 3,000 …
Who’s Driving Your Vehicle? Lent is the time to take back the wheel of our soul from our animal desires… Last night as I reflected on the Mass readings for today (Tuesday), I was struck by both the Introit verse and the prayer. The Introit verse from Psalm 89 declares the majesty and power of …

This is serious… Our 40-day prayer vigil in front of Planned Parenthood begins in just two weeks. It is time now to prepare! Last Sunday, in the traditional Catholic missal, was Septuagesima Sunday. Septuagesima Sunday begins the “Pre-Lenten” season. The Church, in her wisdom, knows that before we begin such a serious and difficult journey …

Things are bad in the world right now…I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you. As Christians, we have hope and faith in Jesus…but the world looks like it is beyond saving at this point, and it may be tempting for us want to hunker down and go into self-preservation mode. I mean, what …
As we begin the preparations for our Lenten 40 Days for Life (Feb. 22 – April 2), I have been struggling a bit with “how much” faith is reasonable. It is getting difficult to find people to fill the hours later in the day and on Sundays and Mondays, and so I was considering condensing …
