On Hamlet, Our Sins, And The Man In The Mirror UPDATED

Last updated on: January 18, 2015 at 2:53 pm   By Frank Weathers

I was going to write a long and involved post on the little news item that we would surely love to sweep under the carpet. The news out of Ireland about our failure to uphold Jesus’s new commandment. The commandment that, if we follow it, will prove to the world our name and heritage. But the French guy, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, aka “PEG”, wrote, “Look At Your Sin” in my stead. Read it, post haste.

St. John of the Cross On What Ails The Catholic Blog-O-Sphere

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 12:46 pm   By Frank Weathers

Last week was a pretty embarrassing one in the parish of St. Blogs. It was enough to make me consider if continuing to blog was a worthwhile use of my time. There are other things to do, you know. I have children to raise, a wife to love, tasks to be performed on my day job, and honey-do lists that are a mile long. Yep, I seriously thought of throwing in the towel . (more…) Read more

Napoleon Bonaparte: The Portrait of The Unintentional Disciple As A Young Man

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm   By Frank Weathers

There is much talk these days about discipleship among the flock. Moving beyond the individual call to holiness, questions surround the call of the faithful on how to live the vocation of being a disciple of Christ. When Jesus ascended into heaven, an event commemorated by the Church today throughout the world, he made an announcement to all who were present, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,... Read more

Meet A Modern Day Monk Who Lives Atop A Pillar

And that our lives must be lived as a sign to the world. A sign that contradicts the norms of the world as surely as when Jesus proclaimed the following before surreptitiously heading to the Feast of Tabernacles in the seventh chapter of John’s gospel. “The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify to it that its works are evil.” (more…) Read more
