FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

“Anyone who looks lustfully at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his thoughts.” –Matthew 5:28 We who live in the “culture of death” are caught in a raging war for control of our senses. We are continually bombarded with sexual sensationalism. This is a serious problem, because we need to avoid sexual fantasies so as to avoid the possibility of punishment in everlasting fire (see Mt 5:28-30). How can we possibly avoid these “near occasions of sin”? We can’t drive anywhere without seeing huge billboards flaunting scantily clad women or men. We can’t walk onto a public...

SAY WHAT?

“I have designated a widow there to provide for you.” –1 Kings 17:9 God told Elijah that He had provided a benefactor to care for him. Was this benefactor a rich man touched by Elijah’s life-changing prophecies or a wealthy relative with a large annuity in the bank? No, God told Elijah not to worry because He had designated a widow to provide for Him (1 Kgs 17:9). Moreover, this would not be a rich widow living from her husband’s estate. Instead, she would be a poor widow with less than one day of provisions. Nonetheless, Elijah had seen God...

There were some women in their company, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.” –Acts 1:14 The conception of Jesus required the union of the Holy Spirit, the Divine, and Mary, representing humanity (Lk 1:35, 38).

Thus, we refer to Mary under the titles of Mother of God and Mother of the Church. In the upper room, Mary had to choose reconciliation with the apostles. Peter denied...
