This past week, I was invited to the EWTN studios in Alabama to record a couple of programs about my book Healing the Deepest Wounds: A Pastoral Guide to Abortion, Trauma and Grief. Here is a short video (a preview) for the “EWTN Bookmark” show with Doug Keck.
Consecration of Election to Blessed Virgin Mary
The Fathers of Mercy are praying this “novena” prayer as we approach the election in the United States of America. It was composed by Fr. Chad Rippenger (not a member of our community). I would invite you to join us in prayer. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the […]
The Importance of Making Good Choices
On Sunday, August 25th, I gave a homily on making good choices in our lives. Our readings present us with three major areas of choices: What God/gods will we serve? Will we live for ourselves or live unselfishly? Will we choose to believe what Jesus teaches about the Holy Eucharist?
National Eucharistic Congress
I had the tremendous joy and privilege to participate in the 10th National Eucharistic Congress last week in Indianapolis.

They had seen Him, spoken to Him, and they knew that He was truly alive. But alive in a new and more powerful way than when He was before His Crucifixion. Even though […]
St. Matthias, the Forgotten Apostle
Do you ever feel like you are overlooked, forgotten by those who should recognize your value? Do you wonder if history will remember you? One of the twelve apostles might be a good model for you! After the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus into heaven, St. Peter spoke to the other apostles and disciples, and […]
Damien of Molokai and the Works of Mercy:
Damien de Veuster was a Belgian priest of the Sacred Heart Fathers who went to Hawaii to serve as a missionary in 1864. While there, he came to know of the plight of the lepers on the island of Molokai. This was home to a colony of around 800 people who had been sent there […]
Grafted onto Jesus, the Vine
