The Value of Frequent Holy Communion

July 9, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

“As the Body of Jesus Christ is a food, and a food intended to increase our spiritual strength, we have only to see in what spiritual strength consists to be able to judge of the good effect of our Communions. It is evident that all our spiritual strength ought to be employed against ourselves, against […]

St. Pio on Adoration

June 7, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

“A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.” – St. Padre Pio

Closeness to God in Adoration

June 2, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

“You dwell, my Lord Jesus, in the Holy Eucharist. You are here, within a few feet of me, in the tabernacle… How close you are, my God, my Savior, my Jesus… Saint Mary Magdalene was no nearer to you when she sat at your feet in Bethany than I am at the foot of the […]

St. John Chrysostom on Prayer

April 2, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Prayer and converse with God is a supreme good:  it is a partnership and union with God.  As the eyes of the body are enlightened when they see light, so our spirit, when it is intent on God, is illumined by his infinite light.  I do not mean the prayer of outward observance but prayer […]

Elizabeth Leseur: Her Lenten resolution

March 15, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

In asking God this Lent for a spirit of retreat, I resolved to pray, suffer, and act in union with God’s will, for God’s glory alone. May his will be done in me, for me, in my whole life, and by me in regard to my neighbor and many others. To live spiritually hidden; to […]

St. Faustina: Desire to love God perfectly

March 15, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

I want to love You as no human soul has ever loved You before; and although I am utterly miserable and small, I have, nevertheless, cast the anchor of my trust deep down into the abyss of Your mercy, O my God and Creator! In spite of my great misery I fear nothing, but hope […]

St. Thomas on Humility

February 28, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

“If you seek an example of humility, look on the Crucified.  Although He was God, He chose to be judged by Pontius Pilate and to suffer death….  The Master chose to die for His servant; the Life of the Angels suffered death for man.” St. Teresa of Avila famously said that the three most important […]

Sanctity, the Only Real Power

February 10, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

From Abbot Anscar Vonier, O.S.B. (died 1906): It is a certain truth that if God in his providence exterminated every evil deed at once, killed every evil-doer, the final sum of goodness would be less. We have our Lord’s own words for it; there would be diminution. Goodness itself, sanctity itself, is fostered by the […]

St. Bernard: In the Wounds of Our Savior

February 2, 2011 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Where can the weak find a place of firm security and peace, except in the wounds of the Savior? Indeed, the more secure is my place there the more he can do to help me. The world rages, the flesh is heavy, and the devil lays his snares, but I do not fall, for my […]

Power of Humility and Love

November 17, 2010 by Fr. Ben Cameron

This parable is from the German Dominican priest, Fr. John Tauler (died in 1361 A.D.): “Going to the church door, the Master met a beggar there.  He was in a miserable plight, his feet covered with mud and all his tattered clothes not worth three pennies.  The Master said:  ‘Good day, my friend.‘  The beggar:  […]

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 […]

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 […]

Powerful Spiritual Weapon

The most powerful prayer that we have, after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (which is Christ Jesus’ own sacrifice offered to the Eternal Father) is the Holy Rosary. We might think of the rosary as a series of repetitive prayers, but it is far more than that: it is an introduction into Christian meditation. […]

St. Matthew and unlikely disciples

Many of us probably wonder, “why has the Lord Jesus chosen me to be His disciple? I have lots of baggage; I have so many wounds.” The truth is that many of the Lord’s disciples were like us: they were men and women with a “history,” with scars from wounds inflicted by self and/or by […]
