When you think of holiness, what comes to mind? Is it a saint who has never stumbled? Does the idea of holiness feel out of reach when you're grappling with your own brokenness or the weight of your sins?
Today, Fr. Mike reminds us that the journey to holiness isn’t always a straight path. There are both good days and bad. Yet, despite our flaws and failures, God’s grace and mercy remain abundant, offering hope and renewal.

When Crude Language Becomes Sinful

Train for Martyrdom This Lent
Should you give things up for Lent, or take new things on? Is it better to pray more, or to give more of your time away? How does almsgiving fit into all of this?
This Lent, Fr. Mike wants to refocus your efforts by trying a new idea: do something with zero benefit to yourself. This is how to do that and why it works.

"Can I Go to the Wedding?" Answered
If you're Catholic, you're probably aware that not every wedding is the same in the eyes of the Church. You may have heard of situations—or been in ones yourself—where you're not sure if it's okay for you, as a practicing Catholic, to attend such a wedding. How do you know when it's okay and when it's not okay?
Fr. Mike not only gives us a couple of guiding principles but also breaks down most of the situations you might find yourself in and tells us what Jesus and his Church asks of us.

Did God Abandon You?
“My God, my God why have you abandoned me?” Psalm 22:1
Are you praying everyday but still suffering? Are you doing all the right things but your heart is still broken?
Fr. Mike shares with us today that God doesn’t promise all our desires, but promises that He will be with us though them all, that He loves us and the He hears every one of our prayers and gives us what we need.
