“Tagged” by Deacon Dennis

-
I really do enjoy these things when I have time...

1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the rules about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read his blog.

What I was doing ten years ago:
Finishing my junior year of high school.  This day, ten years ago: at school and work (a buss boy at a steakhouse!).  This moment, ten years ago: probably asleep in study hall.

Five things on my To-Do list today:
1. Get wife and son out the door to work and daycare.
2. Morning prayer.
3. Give final exam for history class.
4. Work to build the culture of life and love among the youth of my community (seemingly unattainable!).
5. Get frozen yogurt with wife and son (who may or may not eat it).

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Ensure the finacial stability of my family.
2. Pay off my parish's debt (diocesan debt, too).
3. Publish my own Church History courses.
4. Travel, travel, travel.
5. Have a custom-made "non-pope-mobile" (as a show of solidarity with the Holy Father).

Three of my bad habits/qualities:
1. Overly obsessive about minor details.
2. Selfish ignorance.
3. Gluttony, gluttony, gluttony.

Five places I’ve lived:
1. Johnson City, Tennessee
2. Parents' house
3. Fraternity house

Learning Virtue from St. Martin de Porres

[This post appeared originally on my full site, which is now no longer in operation, in November 2012.] It seems that more should be written about a saint from whom we can learn so many lessons in virtue.  Yet that is not the case with St. Martin de Porres, from whom we have much to learn about humility, detachment, fasting, justice, and charity.  The website of the St. Martin de Porres Shrine and Institute (located in my own diocese; a wonderful initiative with a beautiful chapel) offers a mere four paragraphs of biographical information, while other sites ( here , here , and here ) devote no more than 10 sentences to this exemplar of heroic virtue.  Surely, Brother Martin, who was so humble in this life, finds that to be a fitting scenario even after his death. From the very earliest days of his life, he embraced his lowly situation.  He desired to do nothing more than glorify the Creator by serving creatures.  He reached out to slaves, orphan...

St. Cyril of Jerusalem on the Eucharist

-

Although the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist was not the first thing that convinced me I needed to become Catholic, it was of prime importance in my journey home. Now that I am home, the Eucharist is what sustains and strengthens me on my perpetual search for holiness. Indeed, it is the "source and summit" of my Christian life. Thus, I always enjoy taking time to read what Christians in the first centuries had to say about "the breaking of the bread." My findings are such: there is clear evidence that, from the time Christ instituted the Eucharistic meal on Holy Thursday, Christians believed Christ's body, blood, soul, and divinity to be TRULY present. They never considered that it might be "just a symbol." Only within the last five centuries has the "just a symbol" argument taken form, no doubt to the detriment of the true Faith and otherwise faithful Christians. To prove my argument, I have provided two quotes from St. Cyril of Jer...

Gratitude: Foundation of Our Spiritual Growth

-
Image
Gratitude is not simply a quaint idea to which we should tip our caps during a few short weeks in November each fall.  It is important that we move beyond a trite understanding and application, and come to understand the real place of gratitude in the spiritual life.  It is nothing less than a virtue and disposition that is at the foundation of our potential spiritual growth.  (In a corresponding way, its absence is at the “foundation” of spiritual stagnation.) Before we ever begin to speak of spiritual realities, gratitude simply helps us to get by more efficiently, effectively, and happily than the opposite alternative.  Grateful people grow and flourish, even in the midst of difficult circumstances, in ways that ungrateful people do not.  Still, we must resist the temptation to deal with gratitude simply on the natural level.  We must bring these principles to the supernatural level and grasp them there. We must come to understand that gratitude...
