The Gospel of Matthew begins with the well-known description of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. St. Matthew emphasized to his largely Jewish audience the real and deep connection of Jesus with the Hebrew people, showing that He was indeed the son of David. This connection became important not only for Jewish readers, but for all […]
There’s a venerable tradition in golf known as a mulligan, the rule that allows a “do-over,” a second try after a golfer’s first has gone awry. Alas, there are no mulligans for parents in child rearing, only the ability to look back on their efforts with pride, relief, regret, or typically some combination of all […]

This year, our family transitioned from homeschooling to sending all of our children to a lovely little Catholic school. Along with that has come the need for extra income for tuition, and so this year I found myself returning to my first love – catechesis. I am now a middle school religion teacher at a […]

The Christian faith is currently in steep decline within Western society. This could, perhaps, coincide with the diminishing masculine roles among fathers within our culture.

If you have never heard of it, this program is offered by some parishes during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass. At the beginning of the Liturgy of the Word, a volunteer will come to the sanctuary […]

I am so blessed to be a Roman Catholic, to encounter Jesus in person, taking him into my body in the Blessed Sacrament at holy Mass.
