What Is Established By Love Will Never Be Eternally Lost

Last updated on: October 15, 2025 at 1:32 am By Henry Karlson

The world and all that is in it is itself a part of God’s divine revelation: God established it in a word because it is in and through the Word, the Logos, that it was (or is) made. Everything participates in the Word by reflecting that word in themselves. Everything has their own particular word, their own essence, given to it by the Word of God: Words exist only because there is the Word, and there are idea-meanings only because... Read more

Nobel Peace Prize Recipients And The Betrayal Of Peace

Last updated on: October 13, 2025 at 1:23 am By Henry Karlson

The first undergraduate course I taught was Ways of Peace in World Religions. I tried to provide a variety of texts from various religious traditions to help the class see what people of different faiths not only meant by the term peace, but the way they viewed how peace could and should be achieved. From the Buddhist tradition, I included a work from Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize winner from Myanmar (Burma). At that time, her... Read more

Images Of Faith: How Visuals Convey The Truth Of God

Last updated on: October 12, 2025 at 2:04 am By Henry Karlson

God is great. The record of salvation history found within Holy Scripture provides us many examples of that greatness. It shows us people who have had encounters with God which changed them for the better. We read, for example, of the relationship between God and Abraham: Abraham, out of great faith, followed God without knowing his destination. Because of his fidelity, God was with Abraham, helping him in his time of need, such as when Abraham went to rescue Lot.... Read more

Love, Worship, And The True Purpose Of Life

In his letters, J.R.R. Tolkien explained to Camilla Unwin what he thought life was about: So it may be said that the chief purpose of life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks. To do as we say in the Gloria in Excelsis: Laudamus te, benedicamus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter... Read more

Becoming Like Children: A Key To True Greatness

Last updated on: October 8, 2025 at 2:00 am By Henry Karlson

Children are important, they have value; their innocence and the way they rely upon others for their protection has God look upon them with great care and concern just as God looks upon with concern the poor and others who have little to no power of their own in the society they live in. We often remember how Jesus told us that what we do to the least in society we do to him, but we often forget he also... Read more

Confronting Gnosticism In Contemporary Catholic Discourse

Last updated on: October 6, 2025 at 1:35 am By Henry Karlson

Sometimes, I think many so-called conservative and traditional Catholics look for any excuse they can to mock the Pope. Most of the time, however, it seems that in reality they mock the Pope because they hold to anti-Catholic ideologies which come from their political alliances, ideologies they want to force upon Catholicism. To do this, they challenge the Pope and ridicule him whenever he speaks or acts contrary to their political agenda. I believe this is how we are to... Read more

Everyone Is A Temple Of God

Last updated on: October 5, 2025 at 1:22 am By Henry Karlson

We are called to be holy, and so, to a special kind of purity. We need to make ourselves ready for the presence of God, to welcome that presence in ourselves, so that we can be a proper temple of God. “Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God” (2 Cor. 7:1 RSV). We are to fear God, not in the sense... Read more

Cultivating Love: The Core Message Of Religious Sacrifice

Last updated on: October 3, 2025 at 1:23 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

We are to live our lives offering to God, and to all others, our love and devotion. This is what God wants from us. God does not want us to engage religious rituals without that intention. God does not want “sacrifice” if our engagement of such sacrifices do not come from our heart. This is what the prophets had to explain to the people of Israel: it was not the sacrifices which God wanted, but the intention which came from... Read more

Recognizing Holiness Beyond Ecclesiastical Divides

When I became Byzantine Catholic, I became more than Catholic, but also a member of the greater Eastern Christian tradition, and not just any Eastern Christian tradition, but the Byzantine tradition, and not just any Byzantine tradition, but the Byzantine Catholic tradition. The Byzantine tradition manifests itself in a variety of cultural situations, adapting itself to meet each situation, which is one of the legacies of the work of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. For me, that cultural background, as with... Read more

Walk The Talk: What Does It Mean To Forgive?

Last updated on: September 29, 2025 at 1:56 am By Henry Karlson

I remember growing up and being told that we must do more than talk the talk, but we must walk the walk. It is easy to put on a show, to make ourselves look good by saying the right things. But do we mean what we say? Do we put any effort into living it out, especially when it is difficult to do so? That was a message which I picked up as a Protestant, and not only does it... Read more
