Fr. Ben Cameron, C.P.M., Spiritual Director of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy, gave a homily at the Chapel of Divine Mercy on Corpus Christi Sunday. The Holy Eucharist is the Real ‘Bread of the Presence’ of God among His People. It is the fulfillment of the most ancient sacrifice of the People of […]

Thoughts on the March for Life 2022
St. Helen Youth group at the Lincoln Memorial Last week, I was blessed to accompany five teenagers (and another adult chaperone) from our parish Youth Group (St. Helen, Glasgow & Our Lady of the Caves, Horse Cave, Kentucky) to the annual March for Life in Washington, DC.

Reflections on Grief, following the death of my father
On October 8th of this year, I lost my father (Walter Eugene Cameron) to lung cancer. It was the second great grief of my life, the first being the death of my brother, Matthew, to lung cancer four years ago. Granted, I have felt grief at other deaths both before Matthew’s passing, and since then, […]
Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth
Every year on August 22nd, the Catholic Church celebrates the Queenship of Mary, one week after we celebrate her Assumption, body and soul, into heaven.

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 […]
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. […]
