Recommended book: Practical Theology

January 28, 2021 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

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

November 25, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

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

October 21, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron 4 Comments

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

September 21, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

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 […]

Our Own St. Monicas:

August 27, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

St. Monica: One of the most beloved saints down through the ages. Why is this humble mother from North Africa so well known and loved? For many years, Monica prayed fervently for the conversion of her husband, Patricius, who was a pagan, and for that of her son, Augustine, who flirted with the Manichean heresy […]

Mary Magdalen: Apostle to the Apostles

July 22, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

One of the great women saints is St. Mary Magdalene (feast day: July 22nd). There is a good deal of confusion about her, and a good deal that we definitely know about her. First, what we know for certain about this great saint: she was from the town of Magdala, on the Sea of Galilee […]

Loving Christ above all Others

June 27, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

This Sunday’s Gospel (13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A) has the Lord Jesus telling us that “He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.” We might wonder how love for a family member could […]

Divine Mercy Sunday in a time of Plague

April 18, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

One of the very special graces that the Lord Jesus promised to St. Faustina for the “Feast of Mercy” is a “complete remission of sins and punishments” for those who will receive Holy Communion in the state of grace (several passages mention going to Confession in preparation for this Holy Communion) with “complete trust” in […]

Viral Retreat

March 27, 2020 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

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 […]

Significance of Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 11, 2019 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

The Aztec Empire was one of the bloodiest and most diabolical societies of the ancient world. The two main Aztec “gods” were “Lord of the Dark” and “Hummingbird Wizard,” and both of them demanded human sacrifice — and on a massive scale. In one festival in the year 1487 (as recorded by Aztec historians), over […]

Can God forgive our gravest sins?

Sometimes people ask if God can really forgive our most grievous sins — He not only can, but He actually does, if we ask for forgiveness. In this video, I share some stories of people who were notorious sinners — some would say “monsters” — who experienced the grace of forgiveness from the Infinite Mercy […]

July: Month of the Precious Blood

Many people know that the month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. But did you know that the month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus? In Ancient Israel, the People of God were forbidden to ever consume blood. The reason was that the life (soul) of the animal was […]

Men need healing from abortion

Fr. Ben Cameron was on the “Just Ask Janet” show with Kevin Burke from Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries to discuss how men need healing from abortion:

Prayers requested for a new book

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I would like to request your prayers for a project of mine: a (hopefully short) book about grief, trauma, and abortion, which will be primarily to help priests, ministers, and others in pastoral work. There is some great literature out there from a clinical perspective, and other books which […]
