Home is our workshop of life, and we are artisans. We discover, pattern and forge–for spouses, friends, children and others–the key features of a human life. In an unforgettable line, St. Benedict enunciates a key to the whole project: “Never despair of God’s mercy.” In his Rule, one of the most influential documents ever written, […]| LifeCraft
On this Thanksgiving Day, we remember the countless blessings of Almighty God. Simply our grateful remembrance of God is transformative and inclines us to become more and more vessels of Divine Charity, other “humanities” (as Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity would say) wherein Christ can live His Paschal Mystery. From the Soliloquies of St. Teresa [...]| OCD Vocations
Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) reported: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, “O my sins! O my sins!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, “Say: اللَّهُمَّ مَغْفِرَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَرَ…| Precious Gems from the Quran and Sunnah

The Lord Jesus Christ has finished the work needed to reconcile us to God and to atone for our sins. Once He ascended to Heaven, He did what no other high priest had ever done under the Old Covenant: He sat down; He rested from His labors on our behalf. But He did more: He raised us up together with Him and seated us at the Right Hand of the Father so that we could enter HIS rest, even right now while we are on the earth! Let's enjoy this rest and the blessed quiet that He has promised to all...| GGWO Church Baltimore
It is commonly thought that there is a tension between mercy and justice, and it is indeed not obvious how to make sense of God being both perfectly just and perfectly merciful. In this blog post, I characterize mercy and justice and discuss how God might be said to maximize both of these, building on […]| What the Gospel Demands
The rolling emptiness of a Sunday afternoon, The deafening silence of a vacant room, The brutal roar of a mind gone mad, After years of loneliness leave a soul unclad. Reaching a loved one in search of a friend, An unforeseen blow reveals this is the end. A vacuous pang sucking life from my eyes, But after all else this should have been no surprise.

It comes as no surprise to me that as the time of the Cross draws near Jesus purposed to instruct His followers in the areas of faith and prayer. We read again about how He wondered aloud: “… When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). In Luke […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
Luke 16 opens with an interesting story Jesus told of a steward who wasn’t doing his job. He wasted his master’s goods says the passage. His inattentiveness was discovered and his employer was ready to fire the man. This served as a wakeup call for the steward. He examined himself – perhaps for the first […]| GGWO Church Baltimore
