Special Grace of Divine Mercy Sunday

April 5, 2018 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

In the Diary of St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, the Lord Jesus said that He would give special graces on the Feast of Mercy, the Octave Sunday of Easter.  On that day, Our Lord promises that those who have been to the Sacrament of Confession (and, of course, made a good confession of […]

Reaching out in Love:

January 19, 2018 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

When we have received a gift, especially a precious gift like healing, our first response should be gratitude. Great gratitude to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the giver of healing. But our second response should be to want to share the gift with others. A wonderful Irish priest and missionary, Fr. Robert Bradshaw, once said that […]

Loving self, or Loving God?

January 19, 2018 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Bishop Diadochus of Photice (5th century, Greece) wrote: “No one who is in love with himself is capable of loving God. The man who loves God is the one who mortifies his self-love for the sake of the immeasurable blessings of divine love. Such a man never seeks his own glory but only the glory […]

Three “American” Saints

January 3, 2018 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

During this first week of January, the Catholic Church in the United States honors three saints who, at least for part of their lives, lived in our nation. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is honored on January 4th.  She was raised Episcopalian, but converted to Catholicism as an adult.  She was a wife and mother of […]

Ancient Saints, and their Relevance today

August 31, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

This last week of August, the Catholic Church honors several saints of the early Church — St. John the Baptist and St. Augustine of Hippo — but what do ancient saints have to teach us today in our post-modern world? St. John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ (as well as his cousin) and […]

Maronite Prayer in honor of the Holy Angels

August 4, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

I recently came across a beautiful prayer relating to the Holy Angels in the Maronite Catholic Divine Liturgy: “Glory to you, O Radiant Light. You brought joy to the world by your incarnation and gave light to all in heaven and on earth with your spiritual light. We praise you with the angels in heaven. […]

Bishop Choby, a Spiritual Father to our Confraternity

June 6, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Bishop David Choby, the 11th Bishop of Nashville, passed into eternal life on Saturday, June 3, 2017.  He was a true spiritual father to the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy.  When I first had the inspiration (during a Eucharistic Holy Hour, while preaching a Rosary Novena) to start a spiritual confraternity (a spiritual family) […]

Daily Examination of Conscience

June 6, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

One of the most basic truths of the spiritual life is the importance of making a daily examination of conscience.  As members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy, we strive to do this each night before going to bed.  Why is the examination so important?  It is for the sake of self-knowledge — […]

Mysteries of the Holy Triduum — Good Friday

April 14, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Good Friday is a day on which Catholics have traditionally spent extra time in prayer and contemplation of the Passion and Death of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  For many of us, the sacred time of “the Three Hours” (Noon until 3:00 PM) is a time of silence and reflection — because these are […]

Viral Retreat

At a time when many of our normal activities have been shut down, or have been modified due to the need for “social distancing,” we might be asking if things will ever “get back to normal,” or how soon they will do so. Maybe we should be asking another question: “How can I turn this […]

Lent: Why Fasting Matters

“Don’t give up chocolate for Lent. Do something else, like pray more, or do something positive.” How many of us have heard this — even from our pastors and trusted Catholic sources? The tradition of the Catholic Church is that there are three special “works” that we should engage in during Lent: prayer, fasting, and […]

Recommended book: Practical Theology

On this Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, who is the greatest theologian in the history of the Church, we might think that his insights are beyond our reach. After all, he was a tremendously smart writer, who wrote the Summa Theologiae, which has around 4,000 articles in which he answers objections to his theology, and […]

Christ the King: Lord even in the worst times

Sometimes when we find ourselves living in times of darkness — political and social upheaval, economic uncertainty, loss of our jobs and the means to provide for our families — it can be easy to forget that Jesus Christ is still our King, and that He is ultimately in control. St. Paul tells us that […]
