Why You’re Not a Saint Yet

Are there things in my life that are incompatible with holiness?

We all wish to be saints—God’s people with him forever in heaven. But do we will it? Do we choose it?

Fr. Mike wants you to know that today is the day. This is the moment. There’s only one reason you’re not a saint yet.


Minute Meditation – Sustained in Christ

Faith requires perseverance. It often grows in stages. Sometimes we fall. Sometimes we walk away. So often, we must crawl. Whether we consciously admit to it or not, our faith—our life in Christ—has sustained us throughout the ups and downs of our lives. It has sustained us in moments of new life and in death, at times of sickness, and at those times when we struggle to give meaning to painful situations.

Today, Matthew reflects on one of the most spectacular images in all of the Gospels. If you let it, this one incredible promise from Jesus will wash away your worry and refresh your soul.
