For many people, the big feast of the year is Christmas, but for Christians, the truly great feast is Easter. Without Easter, without the Resurrection, we would not have the gift of salvation. Jesus had to rise from the dead or else he would have just been another failed Messiah and his birth would be a forgotten footnote of history.

We are exceptionally good at seeing the faults in others and exceptionally adept at ignoring the faults in ourselves.

The human race is one big dysfunctional family.

When God went to the cross he made even death itself a place of hope.

The great danger of the new media is that it seems to relish the superficial. There has been an ethos within the Church for many years to pursue an accommodationist strategy in regards to the culture, and this has resulted in a public presentation of the Faith that is often nebulous or "dumbed down."

A story can sing the truth and not just tell it.

The surest sign that God is alive in you is joy.
