Holiness is not lived accidentally. Rather, holiness is lived with purpose, passion, and intentionality. Above all, however, holiness is lived with God's help and grace.

Read moreFive Ways to Increase Patience →
None of us can claim to have mastered perfectly the virtue of patience. We think we have made a major victory in acquiring patience, and then, out of the blue and taken by surprise, we explode! Our illusion of being the most patient person in the world went up in smoke!
Patience is so important that Jesus Christ, our model in all virtues, said: “By your patience you will save your souls.” One pious soul prayed in desperation: “Lord, give me patience and right now!” Maybe this has been your prayer for the last few years.

A few weeks ago I was blessed to participate in the most amazing men’s group meeting I have ever experienced. I am part of a men’s small group which meets twice monthly on Tuesday evenings. The group currently consists of about 10 men and typically about 8 of us make it to the meeting. We have been meeting for about 10 years in our local parish facilities. These regular meetings help each of us keep focused on our spirituality and being the men that God created us to be. It works really well for all of us so we have made it a priority in our lives.
Read moreSpiritual Combat: Weapons for Your Arsenal →
The word of God teaches us that our life on earth is warfare and the Lord reminds us that if we have decided to follow the Lord we must be prepared for combat. The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens the Gifts of the Holy Spirit within our souls and transforms us into “Soldiers of Christ” the King. With the “Cristero” martyrs of Mexico our battle cry must be “Viva Cristo Rey”—long live Christ the King!
The devil exists, has keen intelligence (in a perverted way), is exceedingly sly and crafty, and is constantly at work and persistent in his work (temptations). However, God, Mary, His angels and saints are far more powerful than the devil. Two extremes must be avoided with respect to the devil. These were warnings given by the Servant of God Pope Paul VI. The first extreme to avoid is to deny that the devil exists. Indeed this is one of the tactics of the devil. On the other hand, we should never give the devil too much importance. Individuals, fearful alarmists, speak more of the power of the devil than of the Omnipotence of God Himself. Let us avoid the two extremes!
