"Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone,, all the time…this is what it means to be contemplative.” – St.Teresa of Calcutta

Jesus Knew Who He Was

He [Jesus] refused to lead any revolutionary movement even among a conquered people and His own people.  At no time did He take a stand in the quarrel between Herod and Pilate, or against the numerous political scandals that were so rampant in Judea.  He never raises his voice against crucifixions, which he knew well as a boy when 3000 were crucified in the town easily visible from Nazareth.  He was indifferent to power, except to affirm that all power comes from God. 

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Returning To Right Order

For Missionary Servants of the Poor it is a great privilege to represent the Church and the Holy Father in the midst of the poor. When the missions of the Third World are spoken of, many think that the best way to help the poor is to address their material needs: clothing, medicine, food, etc. In my life as missionary, after forty-six years, I have realized that the greatest gift we can give the poor is God and His divine grace through the Sacraments of the Church.

Let Us Not Be Cowards!


As Catholics we have a duty to treat all people, regardless of their beliefs, with justice, charity, mercy, prudence, patience and understanding.  We’re not asked to “tolerate” them but to love them, which is a much more demanding task.

Obviously, tolerance is an important democratic working principle.  Most of the time, it’s a good and vital thing.  But tolerating lies about the nature of the human person is a sin.  Tolerating grave evil in a society is an equally grave evil.  And using “tolerance” as an excuse for not living and witnessing Jesus Christ in our private lives and in our public actions is not an act of civility.  It’s a form of cowardice.

No Need To Contemplate Hell?

I may think of hell as threefold: hell is torment of fire and other pains of sense in the company of demons and the damned; hell is the loss of God which is the greatest pain of hell; and hell is despair that will never end…Through pious meditation I must descend into hell while I live that I may not have to descend into it when I die.

Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S. 

How Much Do You Love God?


It is time to be blunt and honest: we do not love our Lord as we ought and as He deserves!

He has been here among us for more than 2,000 years, yet for all practical purposes we have abandoned and ignored Him. Such neglect must come to an end!

Stirring Slumbering Souls – 250 Eucharistic Reflections wants to do something about this insulting neglect of such a great Gift.

Read what noted Catholic author Anne Costa has to say about this book:

“This book accomplished what author Michael Seagriff hoped: that is to ignite my heart and stir my soul to love Jesus more and more. The words contained in this volume speak Truth and breathe Life and offer the reader a broad sampling of some of the finest thoughts and reflections on the Eucharist--our source and summit and surest Love. I can't wait to get to Adoration!”
