Fatherhood has taught me when it's too quiet my kids are usually sinning. God the Father knows the same. Are you praying?

The funny thing about the boy who gave away his loaves and fish is that he, too, ended the day with a full stomach.

It's been a few days since I've seen my kids. My hearts racing; I can't wait to hold them. This is just a glimpse into God's heart at Mass.

Everything we have - every blessing, every talent - is a gift from our Father. The only thing that's all ours is our sin.

It's one of the greatest comforts of working in ministry: the unspoken certitude that your spouse did not marry you for your money.

The atheist barista (who's obsessed with astrology) asked me, "So what's your sign?" I responded, "The sign of the cross." I think she spit in my coffee.

God loves us too much to pretend our sin isn't there. Sin is a cancer and Christ the surgeon. True prayer signs the consent form.
