Failure by Procrastination
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Procrastination is a pattern of failure through which the essential Christ-focus can be lost.

Day 344 – The Woman Clothed in the Sun
By David Vermont
Today we read one of the most famous and debated passages in Revelation: And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Does God love Satan?
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
God loves you. It’s a phrase that many have heard all their lives. Priests, pastors, and religious leaders across the world have taught about God’s infinite, unchangeable, agape type of love toward His creations. That love is for everything He has created and everyone. Lucifer is a creation of God. God created Him. God loves Him. God hates his actions.

3 Ways Mary Undoes the Knots of Desolation in my Life
By Matthew Chicoine
Does your life seem confusing? Are you currently in a situation where there is no apparent solution? Sir Isaac Newton once said, “Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.” If that is the case it seems that life is lacking truth lately. Confusion, frustration, anxiety, and anger engulfed me over the course of the past couple weeks.

"Ex Cathedra" The chair of Peter
By Ralph Hathaway
Did you ever attend a school of higher learning and wonder who started this institution? Have you even considered what your studies would be like had someone without a background in your chosen endeavor attempted to pass on what they do not have?

Treatment for Anemic Christians
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Knowing that Jesus is our antidote for sin and failure is a critical aspect of Christian spirituality. If we neglect it, we will soon grow spirituality anemic and weakened by sin.

Day 342 – The Angel with the Small Scroll
By David Vermont
In today’s reading, another angel appears. This angel stands astride the whole earth with his hand up to heaven. It is unclear whether this figure is, in fact, an angel or whether it is the Lord himself. The angel has a “face like the sun” as Jesus did at the transfiguration. Also, the angel is surrounded by a cloud, again as Jesus was at his Baptism and the Transfiguration. I think the case

Four Types of Counterfeit Faith
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
There are may things in life besides elevator buttons for which there is no adequate substitute. One of them is authentic faith – the charismatic gift of faith that assures us our prayers will be answered. This God-given and God-focused certitude admits of no substitutes. Surrogate forms of faith may render our prayer petitions ineffectual.

Day 341 – Confirmation in the Book of Revelation
By David Vermont
In today’s reading, we see some of the plagues and punishments released on the world. The fifth trumpet blows and the fiery pit is open. In reading, the chapter we are given fantastic descriptions of the “locusts” that spread across the earth. What are these fantastic creatures? I think it is fair to infer that they are armies. I would argue that they represent both ancient and modern armies.

The Queenship of Mary
By Susan Skinner
After reading the above excerpt in Genesis, I began to wonder why Eve was speaking to the serpent at all. After all, the serpent was her enemy. The answer is perhaps because Eve didn’t recognize her enemy. She simply didn’t know he was her enemy.

Our growth into the spiritual maturity that brings insight into this great secret of “Christ in me” is a gradual process. How can we gauge our progress? Let me suggest a few criteria.

Day 340 – Prayer is a Weapon of God
By David Vermont
Some amazing imagery in today’s reading. When people read Chapter 8 (and going into chapter 9) they often focus on the blowing of the 7 trumpets and he devastation they wreak upon the earth. However, look how the chapter starts: When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

The Way of Saint James
By Susan Skinner
The Lord has been speaking to me a lot over the past several months about “The Way of Saint James.” I thought maybe God was speaking to me about taking a pilgrimage to Spain. He often shows me the starry sky. But this morning, pondering the readings for this Palm Sunday and the Passion of Christ, it hit me. He said, “Live the Way of Saint James.”

The World's Greatest Secret
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
We Christians are privy to the world’s greatest secret – a “secret that for ages past was kept hidden in God” (Eph 3:9). Paul tells the Colossians that “this secret which has been kept hidden for ages and generations is now disclosed to the saints [believers]” (Col 1:26), but he reminds the Romans that it was veiled in prophecies of ages past (see Romans 1:2, 16:26).

Day 339 – The One Hundred and Forty Four Thousand
By David Vermont
The one hundred and forty-four thousand is a symbol or perfection as it is twelve times twelve times one-thousand. It symbolizes that the end will come when God has finished the work of creation and salvation and therefore achieved the “perfection” he intends. Here perfection simply implies the finishing of the task.
