The Father IS the Story
Holiness for the Working Day
5th Sunday of Easter, Year A Gospel Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way." Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life....

Meditation on Love and the Song
Holiness for the Working Day
On a dusk walk through Old Town, a chance encounter with a young man swooning outside his girlfriend's window becomes a meditation on one of the deepest hungers of modern life. Drawing on Joseph Pieper, Thomas Aquinas, and the medieval contemplative tradition, this episode explores why only the lover truly sees, and why that matters for everything from friendship and prayer to the quiet poverty underneath all our productivity. If modern life has trained us to move through the world like a camera, objective and detached, what does it cost us? And what would it mean to become a lover again, to...

A Meditation on Fortitude
Holiness for the Working Day
What does it take to stand firm when everything in you wants to fold — not just on the battlefield, but in the garden at Chelsea, in the courtroom, at the kitchen table with someone you love? In this episode we look at fortitude, what Adam Smith called "the uniquely splendid quality of man," through the eyes of Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, and some of the most vivid moments in Scripture, literature, and film. We start where the Church starts us this week — with the apostles, sprung from prison by an angel, walking straight back to the temple at dawn to keep preaching. That is fortitude in...

info_outlineA warm evening walk through Old Town turned into a meditation on something I keep noticing more and more in our culture, the strange fear of growing older. The line between youth and adulthood has become so blurred that many people seem to cling to the appearance and customs of youth long after that season has passed. The old milestones of adulthood have faded or been pushed further and further out, and beneath it all there seems to be a deeper anxiety about aging, meaning, and death itself. In this meditation I reflect on how the classical virtue of prudence helps us see reality as it truly is and teaches us to live in harmony with it. Prudence allows us to accept the season of life we are in with honesty and even with a kind of elegance, rather than pretending to be something we are not. The Christian life ultimately frees us from the desperate need to stay young, because our hope is not in youth but in the eternal life promised by God.
