1. Foreword
If you want to be holy, if you seek meaning in your life, start looking into
your own life and attacking your pride in all of its many forms. God will
give you extraordinary light and the ultimate reward of holiness. For your
holiness relies not on what you do, but on what you allow God to do through
you. Have courage. God will perfect you. - Mother Angelica

familiar. ...

What Christ Does With Failure
This is about a failure so shocking that we still talk about it 2000
years later. There are really two parts to Peter's story-his three-fold denial
the night Jesus was arrested and how Christ forgave and restored him. The first
part depends wholly on Peter, the second wholly on Jesus.
Peter was in charge of his own failure.
Christ took charge of restoring him. ...

Easter Joy
We don't celebrate Easter the way we celebrate Christmas. That is really kind of
strange when you think about it, because without Easter, there would be no
reason to celebrate Christmas. If there had been no resurrection, then Christ

no church, no Christianity, and no hope. ...
