Jumping at Shadows: Spiritual Warfare 101

Last updated on: October 31, 2014 at 5:37 pm By Lisa Mladinich

Do you jump at things that go bump in the night? Do you start at shadows? Yesterday’s epistle at Mass was from St. Paul, who knew a thing or two about spiritual evil and how to fight it off. His epistle to the Ephesians, Chapter Six, contains the famous “armor of God” verses: 10 Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. 11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand...

And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, ‘Then who can be saved?’ Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’ (Mark 10:26-27) (This column is excerpted from my booklet, “Be An Amazing Catechist: Inspire the Faith of Children”) Taking it to the next level with personal responses to the lesson Circle time can take place as part of your prayer time, or it can...

Everybody, Everybody Wants to Love

Last updated on: October 8, 2014 at 4:27 pm By Lisa Mladinich

Having been struck dumb by recent world events, I have wondered, the last few days, if I made a huge mistake launching a blog. What can I say that matters at all when hell has been unleashed on thousands of innocent people in the Middle East and in West Africa, and I can do nothing but pray and send a few paltry dollars over the internet. I want to love those people. Every last one. And I feel stunned and... Read more

If you deepen your prayer life you will grow in holiness and obtain many graces for the souls entrusted to your care. Deepen your love for one another by praying for each other and by sharing thoughts and graces you have received in prayer and reading.” ~Mother Teresa It is so... Read more

Hans Urs von Balthasar on Beauty: Novena of Beauty, Day 8

Last updated on: September 15, 2014 at 12:24 pm By Lisa Mladinich

A blessed Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows to everyone! Today the meditation is the cost to our souls of being surrounded by the ugliness of modern culture. Without an appreciation for modesty and humility, a love of beautiful churches, sacred art, and sacred music, the winsome story of our salvation fails to take hold. When beauty is categorized in vulgar terms, using airbrushed, scantily-clad models, and calls to self-importance and self-indulgence, we lose touch with our own God-given interior beauty and become...

Beautiful Survivors: Novena of Beauty, Day 7

The hit TV show “Survivor” has nothing on these incredibly beautiful women. Two of them survived being aborted, and the third was conceived in rape and endured the poverty and neglect of being born to a mentally-ill mother before being adopted into a loving family. Melissa Ohden, Gianna Jessen, and Mary Rathke, thank you for your witness to the power of God to take any difficulty, any tragedy, and make it into something beautiful and life-giving. You are all extraordinary... Read more
