Life Is Good(aside from all the crap)

Theodicy is the discipline that seeks to understand why there is so much suffering in the world. To say that human life is often tragic—filled with loss, pain, and mourning—is so obvious that it hardly needs saying. Yet countless pages have been written trying to explain it.

There are some fortunate people for whom life is good in their younger years. But even for them, there comes a point when life...

Men Must Be Tender​
To fulfill their mission, men must be attentive to their own hearts so as to hear the voice of God, as St. Joseph did. They must also be attentive to the hearts of those entrusted to them, in order to guide and protect them well. Too often, men overlook this essential aspect of their vocation as protectors because they lack tenderness and sensitivity.

What many women seem to do naturally is often difficult...

The Slow, Difficult Work of Forgiving: An Essay on Wounds, Will, and Faith

Forgiveness is often spoken of as something noble, healing, and liberating—but rarely as something easy. In reality, forgiveness is more often a long, uneven journey rather than a single moment of decision. It unfolds slowly because it asks something deep of us: to confront pain honestly, to acknowledge our own vulnerability, and to loosen our grip on wounds that may...

I put this in the USA section because he is a priest in the U.S. There was some controversy with him that I believe was designed to silence this amazing human.

His talks are amazing and he truly loves GOD and the church.

Silence and the Soul’s Rest

Silence is a virtue. Silence is a prayer. Silence is misunderstood by many.
There are cloistered souls who practice silence
but are not silent because, interiorly, they are
distracted, anxious, and chattering. Silence is your
soul in communion with God. It is in silence
that you come to hear the voice of God.
It is in silence that you come to see the face of God.
It is in silence that you come to feel...​

A Heavy Blessing

Getting old is one of God’s greatest gifts—
a heavy blessing. This new body, unlike the old,
limps sometimes, the back aches,
and now there’s a balloon in my head.

Yet I would not want to be a day younger.
Each age I’ve passed through had its troubles;
being young once was more than enough.
Middle age, no different.

Still, I am happy—
and at times, uneasy—
as my life speeds up for the final turns.
In the blink...​

This morning, we experienced a brief but gentle rain. Our cloister garden, dark green and vibrant, seemed to come alive, with all the trees and plants looking 'happy'. For nearly 55 years, I have walked through this garden, traveling to and from church. During the day, I often sit and admire its beauty, which never grows old for me. It always feels fresh and new, lifting my spirits each...

Christ’s Wounds

We have already learned that we are healed by touching the wounds of Jesus. Only His wounds can heal because, unlike us, He willingly suffered them with pure love and forgiveness. Therefore, Satan could not infect them with hate or any other poison. This means that Christ’s wounds, instead of defeat, reveal and transmit the victory of His love. Isaiah writes, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our...​
