What is divine providence? Divine Providence is the wise and loving act of God which guides all creation from its origin to its ultimate end. We take part in divine providence by freely cooperating with God's plan for our lives, to trust in God's will. Even when we place our trust in God, we can still experience the results of sin. After all, evil lurks in the world. What challenges to faith have you experienced? How did God guide you through them? ... See MoreSee Less

What would have happened if Jesus gave into the temptation in the desert? Sin would have grown, and salvation would have been denied.

We face the same kind of temptations Jesus did, and like His, our choices have effects. The choice for self - sin - fuels the growth of vices, also known as the "seven deadly sins." Which fan the flame to destroy a sense of morality on an individual and a communal level. However, one choice for others can help tear down sin. One choice for good can help change the world. The desert choice of Jesus made that hope a reality.

Have you ever seen personal sin grow, like a disease? Have you ever seen sin stopped by the choice of one person? ... See MoreSee Less

The Church traditionally dedicates the month of March to the special veneration of St. Joseph, whose feast day is March 19. "He was chosen by the eternal Father as the trustworthy guardian and protector of his greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son and Mary, Joseph’s wife," says St. Bernardine of Siena. "He carried out this vocation with complete fidelity until at last God called him, saying 'Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.'" Due to St. Joseph's leadership of the Holy Family, he has been declared the protector and patron of the universal Catholic Church. ... See MoreSee Less

You cannot pick quality fruit from plants not known for such produce. Like fruit, the acts of a person reveal their character. Ultimately, a person is known by the quantity and quality of their speech. The sheer amount of verbiage does not make someone a good person. And the person who tries to hide their true intentions will soon be found out. Words must match action, and action must match words. How can you bare good fruit by your words and actions this week? ... See MoreSee Less
