First Reading: Isaiah 52:13—53:12 13 Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. 14 As many were astonished at him — his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the sons of men – 15 so shall he startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have [...]
Many congrats to Catholic artist Matt Maher for releasing his first official music video. The video is for his latest single “Rise Up.” While I’ve heard this song play several times on my iTunes playlist, hearing it again today could not have come at a better time. Its lyrics hit home today. Matt Maher – Rise Up (Official Music Video) from providentlabelgroup on GodTube.
Great video to come out of TED SF a few months ago. It puts many things into perspective. Be grateful each and every day as if it were the first day of your life.
Someone shared this on Twitter earlier today and I felt the need to share it. It is a beautiful reflection on the passion from Make A Friar.

Where There Is Love, There Is God by Mother Teresa, Edited by Brian Kolodiejchuk (Image, 364 pages, 2012) Mother Teresa was one of those rare people that seemed to exude holiness with each step she took. I’ve long admired her for her simple way of life, her extraordinary management skills, her love of God, her compassion for others, and her deep humility. She was the living saint with a public face—the small feisty nun who was coach, mentor, and mother [...]
Rediscover Lent by Matthew Kelly (St. Anthony Messenger Press, 146 pages, 2012) Lent is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time when we recollect and reflect on our spiritual lives and our relationships with God, self, and others. I admit that, lately, it has been difficult to find the time I need to really sit down and be “in the moment” this Lenten season. As a writer and educator, my time is spend planning, planning, [...]
