Note to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

Published October 24, 2017 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Prayer

  I run to the place we always meet, all the way crying angry tears. In the candle light, I kneel. I cross myself.  I breathe. Breathe.  In this quiet room is my refuge, the nearness of the One I love. I know I have come close to Jesus.  I know the Eucharist is truly a beating… [Read More]

Are You At Peace?

Published July 4, 2016 • Written by Robert Lindberg Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Prayer

Are you at peace in the sight of Christ? Am I at peace in the sight of Christ? I remember one time; we had adoration as part of our parish mission. At one point the deacon walked all around the church with the Blessed Sacrament. As Jesus approached me I was filled with an incredible… [Read More]

Gazing at the Image or Icon of Divine Mercy

Published June 19, 2016 • Written by Deacon Guadalupe Rodriguez Filed Under: Faith

  What does gazing at an image or icon of Divine Mercy do for my mind, body, and soul? The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The beauty of images moves me [us] to contemplation…” (1162) So what is contemplation? “Contemplation is a gaze of faith, fixed on Jesus, ‘I look at him and he… [Read More]

Love is [Always] in the Air

Published December 9, 2015 • Written by Adam Shaivitz Filed Under: Blog

Can you feel the love? I sure can. But until a few weeks ago, I had never felt it so clearly and so dramatically. “God is Love” and love is his first gift, containing all others. “God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Catechism of… [Read More]

Corpus Christi Procession – “One Heart and Soul” (Part 2)

Published May 21, 2015 • Written by Deacon Guadalupe Rodriguez Filed Under: Column, Faith

The upcoming, June 7, 2015, Corpus Christi procession unites the Austin, English and Spanish communities, as when the early Church was a “Community of believers [that] was of one heart and soul.” (Acts 4:32)   From the very beginning the early Christians were a convergence of a trilingual culture, so public statements were often, “Written in… [Read More]

Come and You Will See

Published September 22, 2014 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

  The tents are packed up; the rented chairs have been stacked and taken away. The land is empty and yet not quiet. Mulch covers large patches where grass will need to be planted. Bricklayers come each morning and work on finishing the main walkway. You can usually see the builder around finishing this or… [Read More]

My Best hour: Making the most of Adoration this Lent

Published March 11, 2014 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Blog

“I will lure her into the desert and speak to her heart,” says the Lord. (Hosea 2:14.)   In a world that often seems like an unpleasant mardis gras, it is easy to see why God would want to call us aside for some quiet time with Him where He can be close to us… [Read More]

Be still: Finding God amidst the mayhem.

Published March 4, 2013 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Faith, Young Adult

As I write this, the wind outside howls and spins, causing the trees to throw up their branches in helplessness, and the walls of my apartment to tremble. It’s disconcerting, this wind. It came out of nowhere this morning, gaining intensity and speed throughout the afternoon, until it began to blow cars off the road,… [Read More]

An Invitation

Published July 31, 2012 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog, Faith

  Hey you. Stop. Just stop, and pray. And especially listen. If you didn’t read the rest of this article, got off the computer, and went and just prayed, even for thirty seconds, I would praise God with great thanksgiving. But, nevertheless, I’ll keep writing, just in case you need more convincing. You see, I’ve… [Read More]
