The last post spoke about woman’s desire for beauty, and how external beauty complements a much more important inner beauty (Missed it? You can read it here.) Now we’re going to talk about man’s desire for strength, and how physical strength complements a much more important inner strength.

Value in Virtue Part 1: Our Desire for Beauty
Our culture idolizes beauty, strength, and productivity. Women want to be attractive, men want to be powerful, and everyone wants to be successful. (Of course this is a generalization of what men and women tend toward; I am aware that men want to be attractive too, and women strong.) We want to feel wanted, important,…
A Breaking Open: Images from Prayer
During my last holy hour of the week (an hour of prayer before Christ in the Eucharist), I sat in silence and asked the Lord to show me one word, thought, or image that He wanted me to focus on. After a moment of closing my eyes and clearing my mind, I got what I asked for.
Is the Eucharist Biblical?
For those of you who aren’t Catholic, I just wanted to share with you (and my fellow Catholics) one of the reasons I love being Catholic. During quarantine, I’ve missed being able to go to Adoration (prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament, the bread that we truly believe is the Body of Christ) and…
Today’s Reading: Jesus Understands Us
A reminder for today—Jesus lived life as a human just like us, so he understands the struggles we’re going through. We can always come to Him without fear or shame. Heb 2:14-18: “Surely he did not help angels but rather the descendants of Abraham; therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters in…
Semester in Austria

The picture above is of the old Cartesian monastery which I and about 200 other students called home. I decided that I would not be writing posts over this semester because I wanted to stay focused on school…
Today’s Reading: To Love and Be Loved
Today’s reading is something all of us should refocus on. It’s so easy to get lost in one’s own worries and interests, whether school, work, or other projects, when all our souls need is to love and be loved. “Brothers and sisters: If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation…
Unity in the Eucharist
As a Catholic, the Eucharist is very dear to my heart, and it saddens me that other Christians don’t get to experience this incredible mystery. It is such an incredible gift. God gives Himself to us in a very beautiful and intimate way—literally gives Himself to us, body and blood. Personally, I am very much…
God Loves You—Talk with Him!
In case you haven’t yet heard this yet, or need a reminder: Jesus loves you. Always, no matter what, without limitation. He’s real, and He’s always waiting for you to let Him into your life. He died on the cross–endured so much suffering–to pay our debt and to allow us to come home, and He…
