Corporal Works of Mercy: Clothe the Naked

August 1, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

The third Corporal Work of Mercy is “Clothe the Naked.”  In times past, there may have been many people who only possessed the clothes on their backs, and those might have been so threadbare and worn out that the person might have been virtually naked. Although times have changed, and there are few people (in […]

July 15, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

The second Spiritual Work of Mercy is to Counsel the Doubtful.  What does this mean?  How can we live this work of mercy? Many people today are confused.  They might be looking for meaning in their lives, for answers to the biggest questions (Why do I exist?  Is there a purpose for my life?  What […]

Corporal Works of Mercy: Give Drink to the Thirsty

July 1, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

The second Corporal Work of Mercy is To Give Drink to the Thirsty.  What are we talking about here?  I am sure that somebody, with tongue in cheek, will say that we should give free booze to alcoholics!  But that it NOT what the Gospel tells us:  Jesus said that the person who gives even […]

Spiritual Works of Mercy: Instruct the Ignorant

June 15, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

The first of the spiritual works of mercy is “Instruct the Ignorant.”  We sometimes think that it is an insult to say that someone is ignorant, but in reality, it simply means that the person is without knowledge — of something that they would benefit from knowing.  To give knowledge — to give someone the […]

Prayer, Fasting and Mercy

March 10, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

From a sermon by St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor of the Church: There are three things, my brethren, by which faith stands firm, devotion remains constant, and virtue endures.  They are prayer, fasting and mercy.  Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains, mercy receives.  Prayer, mercy and fasting:  these three are one, and they […]

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 […]
