“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 […]

Spiritual Works of Mercy: Forgive All Injuries

November 15, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron 1 Comment

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” These powerful words from our Savior should make every Christian think twice:  Do I forgive injuries?  Have I forgiven those who have hurt or offended me or one of my loved ones?  Or do I hold on to old hatreds and grudges? The sixth Spiritual […]
