At first, I didn’t believe it when I said “Jesus, I trust in You,” but I desired to trust in Him. All I had left within me was a desire to grow closer to Him. Watching Sunday Mass online made me miss going, something which I had only tolerated in the previous months.

This is why The Chosen is so good. All the hard work of Lectio Divina and the imaginative prayer of the Jesuits is done for you by the creators of this show. It provides us a window into a possible interpretation of the day-to-day life of Christ with details the Gospels leave out, all while gently leading us away from daily concerns with its high production value

So many youth feel like they have no one to talk to about their problems; they feel like no one cares about them. We try to combat that through dynamic and relevant encounters with youth.

I don’t know about you reader, but I get so caught up in trying to figure out how to please God and do His will, that I forget that He is already rejoicing just in my existence!

Have you ever wanted to pray but didn’t know how to go about it? Did you want to listen to God speaking to you but didn’t know how to hear His voice?

He knows, He knows, every hurt and every sting, He has walked the suffering, He knows, He knows, let your burdens come undone, lift your eyes up to the one, who knows...He knows!

Sometimes I get asked the question “Why do you believe?” or “Why do you have faith?”. I reflected on these questions, prayed about it, and came up with the top few reasons that I believe! I think that these reasons can become the template by which we live our lives of faith, believing in our God every day.

I believe that each and every one of us can help make an amazing nation, regardless of who gets elected into office, or how our country will change.

It didn’t matter where I was in the room, directly in front of the picture standing up, sitting down, to the left, or to the right, He always looked like He was staring at me and there was love in His eyes.

Next time you glance at a crucifix, simply stop. Pause your day, and just gaze at Jesus for ten seconds.

The DivineMercy Chaplet is offered up for that person/persons that you need to have mercy on. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, an enemy, or even yourself, you must have mercy.

Do I open up with the chance of hurting someone, or do I stay closed off and lonely without having any friendships or attachments?

When I was in College at Seton Hall, I was dating my (now) wife, Mary. We broke up for a period of time and I was absolutely crushed.

I realized that day that I need to stop HATING CORONA! I need to love the virus.

In this time of the pandemic, it’s more important than ever for Catholics to know their bible. It will help us to face the isolation and discouragement that are so prevalent in these times.

I learned to take the focus off me. I was afraid of messing up, stumbling, mispronouncing words, and embarrassing myself. I was standing up to read the Word of God and all that I could think about was myself.

Shame is not truth. Truth is giving it to God and accepting the mercy that He longs to give us. Truth is choosing to let go of shame.

If you work out, think about making your workout a Prayer Workout for someone who is struggling. If you want to work out but lack motivation, then try a Prayer Workout and do it for someone else.

If you got injured, who would you be then? If you got kicked out of school, who would you be then? If your family disowned you, who would you be then? Any of these things we typically associate ourselves with could quite honestly be stripped of us at any moment. Even our name!

Healing and forgiveness can’t happen by yourself. I was trapped in depression, isolation, and loneliness until I took the risk to let someone in. For 12 years, I didn’t tell anyone what I had been through as a young girl.
