What If You Are God’s Currency?

Minted in God’s Image Nearly every morning, I make the drive to Detroit with my high-school-age son. Many of the roads we travel are ones I have been driving for years, some of them for a lifetime. It never ceases to amaze me how neighborhoods change. Some fade a house at a time until entire blocks have disappeared. But the reverse is sometimes true too. A neighborhood can change dramatically when an investor with significant capital decides to show up... Read more

Thanking God Ahead of Time

Last updated on: October 9, 2026 at 6:10 pm By Billy Kangas

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about gratitude, and about the practice of thanksgiving. This morning, I was reminded once again of how central thanksgiving is to the life of prayer. The reminder came as I prayed Psalm 100 at Lauds. The psalmist instructs us, “Go within his gates, giving thanks. Enter his courts with songs of praise.” Thanksgiving is the way in. Before we bring God our needs, our worries, or even our sorrow for sin, the psalmist invites... Read more

A Saint I Almost Dismissed

Last updated on: October 1, 2026 at 4:25 pm By Billy Kangas

0 Comments

Today is the feast of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, often called the Little Flower. She is a saint I almost dismissed, and have since come to love. On my way into the Catholic Church, I would often see images of her as a young woman, even a girl, and I assumed she didn’t have much to say to a grown man like me. With a name like “the Little Flower,” I expected her spirituality to be saccharine and sweet. I... Read more

May Wendell Berry Trouble Your Thoughts Today

Last updated on: September 1, 2026 at 1:04 pm By Billy Kangas

This weekend I decided to pick up a book that has been troubling my imagination for the past few years: Why I Will Not Buy a Computer, by Wendell Berry. The title essay first appeared in Harper’s Magazine in 1987. It’s been troubling me because I find that I think about it almost every day. For those who don’t know him: I could say much about all the ways Berry has helped to shape and inspire me with his stories,... Read more

Did a Church Father Deny Christ’s Real Presence at Mass?

Last updated on: August 6, 2026 at 1:49 pm By Billy Kangas

0 Comments

Over the past week, a lively debate has been unfolding online about whether any of the early Church Fathers denied the Real Presence in the Eucharist. One comment in particular caught my attention because it raised thoughtful questions about symbolism, metaphor, and the meaning of “memorial” in early Christian worship. The commenter quotes Clement of Alexandria: “Elsewhere, the Lord, in the gospel according to John, brought this out by SYMBOLS, when he said: ‘Eat ye my flesh, and drink my... Read more

When you hear the word “masculine” what images come to mind?

Last updated on: July 24, 2026 at 4:12 pm By Billy Kangas

I’ve been thinking a lot this week about masculinity. It started with the news. Andrew Tate is currently in the middle of extradition proceedings to the UK, where he’ll face charges tied to abuse and human trafficking. I bring him up not because I want to give him more airtime than he’s already claimed, but because of the sheer reach he’s had; especially among young men in the U.S. and around the world who are searching for someone, anyone, to tell them...

A Quiet Architect of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal In the course of my research on the early history of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, I had the privilege of spending several hours interviewing Gerry Rauch about his life, his faith, and his role in the early Catholic Charismatic Renewal. With the news of his death this past week, I found myself returning to those notes. What follows is offered as a small tribute to a man who devoted his life to... Read more

This is the Night God Makes All Things New

Last updated on: April 4, 2026 at 9:56 am By Billy Kangas

It’s easy to lose focus during the Easter Vigil. The liturgy is beautiful, but it’s long, and the sheer number of Scripture passages can feel overwhelming if we don’t have a few handholds to guide us. My hope is that with a little preparation, you’ll be able to enter the Vigil with a sense of anticipation—so that as each reading unfolds, you begin to recognize the pattern, the story, and the movement of God’s work. And when that happens, the... Read more

By His Wounds, Into His Shalom: The Promise of Isaiah 53–55

Last updated on: April 3, 2026 at 2:11 pm By Billy Kangas

0 Comments

Isaiah 53 has always stood at the heart of Christian reflection on redemptive suffering. The figure of the Suffering Servant is understood as fundamentally connected to Christ, and the New Testament itself makes this connection explicit. Matthew writes that Jesus’ healing ministry fulfills Isaiah’s words: “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases” (Matthew 8:17). In Acts, Philip encounters the Ethiopian official reading Isaiah 53 and explains that the Servant is Jesus (Acts 8:32–35). 1 Peter echoes Isaiah directly: “By... Read more

The Church’s most tender and hope‑filled prayer?

Last updated on: February 17, 2026 at 9:57 am By Billy Kangas

I had the joy of joining Deacon Tom and Sister Sarah on Notes from Above last week to talk about one of the Church’s most tender and hope‑filled prayers: the Nunc Dimittis, the Canticle of Simeon. It was a gift to reflect together on how this ancient prayer still shapes the heart of Christian discipleship. As we read in the episode, “Now, Lord, you may dismiss your servant in peace… for my eyes have seen your salvation.” A few insights... Read more
