2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 31 – Mid Journey Excursion
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos by the Archangel Gabriel. It is a day of celebration in the middle of our Great Lenten Journey. I took a lot of road trips over the years. Every trip has that moment when the journey pauses for a great side trip. Ok. I know…

Today I want to continue the theme of renouncing the world. I was struck today by the opening verses of Isaiah today. He reminds us how idols were created using only the best wood and best gold. Ancient pagans honored their gods with only the best ‘skin’ for their idols. Our God, the True God,…

I had the great blessing to visit the Holy Lands in 2020. Walking through the city of our Lord, the City of Peace, the place of Christ’s Passion changed my life. Still, it isn’t Jerusalem that we are destined to live forever. Our city, New Jerusalem, isn’t on earth. It is in heaven. Yesterday, I…
Read MoreEpisode 475 – How to Strengthen our Faith
In our weakest moments of faith, we wonder why God chooses to do what He does. We question why He doesn’t give us what we want. When our faith is weak, Christ calls us to a life of prayer and fasting. It our prayer and fasting that gives us stronger faith. Transcript: My brothers and…

Today the Church commemorates a great saint, one who helps understand our journey to heaven. Saint John ‘of the Ladder’ wrote a famous book about the steps to heaven. The Ladder of Divine Ascent reminds us that the way to heaven is one step at a time. The first step of any journey is the…

You are an exceptional employee. You are never late for work, and you always complete your tasks with efficiency and excellence. Still, you never seem to get that coveted promotion. You feel invisible to your boss. Why can’t your efforts be rewarded? If that is how you feel at work, any many feel that way,…

Don’t let today’s title scare you. It is something you already knew about God. He is all-knowing and all-seeing. We are the ones who merely think we walk and speak in secret. God knows our hearts. The best part of Great Lent is having the chance to honor Him with it. Here’s what I think…
Read More2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 25 – Belief is Never Wasted
You may not think this, but even Clergy get tired. Even clergy have ‘those moments’ when we wonder if our faith is strong enough. Even clergy question if our belief will ‘get us over’ our struggles. Anyone who suggests otherwise isn’t being honest. I’m not saying the clergy are the biggest hypocrites in the Church.…
Read More2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 24 – Regret VS Shame
Yesterday I wrote about loyalty and faithfulness. It is out of loyalty that we read the daily readings from Scriptures. Today it is faithfulness that inspires us. We must ask ourselves ‘why’ the Church selects these particular readings during Great Lent. Every day we read about God’s wrath on those who sin, and God’s mercy…
Read More2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 23 – Faithful to God
We hear the word all the time. We are taught to be faithful. We are taught that God is faithful. Is there a difference between being faithful and being loyal? God made a promise to Noah. Was that promise about loyalty or faithfulness? In today’s readings we hear about the relationship between humanity and God.…
