Although Saint Micheal is somewhat of a mysterious figure, we can call on his intercession in times of spiritual warfare. We can easily be discouraged when it appears that evil is winning in every aspect of society or even in our own lives. But there is hope to be found in the victory Christ secured for us on the cross and in the fact that our blessed Lord gave us Saint Micheal to be the guardian of the Church. The spiritual realm is real and the war for souls rages on. Saint Micheal the Archangel, defend us in battle.

From the moment Donald J. Trump rode down the escalator in 2015 and announced his intention to run for president it was obvious that he was an “outsider candidate.” A career politician he was not. His candid and oftentimes brash style was a trait that attracted many voters and turned others off. Historically, Catholics have been pretty close to even down the political party lines This certainly held true for Catholics in the last presidential election where 52% voted for Trump and 48% voted against him. Many have seen the way the president has acted and concluded that he is a dishonest, racist and bigoted person. The question becomes if all of the charges are true, can the millions of Catholics who will undoubtedly support the president actually vote for him?

If you want to make a good confession and are willing to listen to a lay person, Chris will give you some advice while drawing “the return of the prodigal son.” He points out that in order to make a good confession we need to be honest about sin—it does exist and we do it. We are called to holiness, which requires building a relationship with the Lord, and relying on his strength. In this video, Chris offers an examination of conscience to foster this relationship.
