Walt Disney & The Renegade Bishop

I’ve written before about Fr. John Hardon, a spiritual advisor and mentor of mine during the 1990s.  From 1989 to 1999, I attended 11 men’s retreats that were given by Fr. Hardon.   He died in 2000 at the age of 84.

A Life of Love and Enthusiasm

One of the greatest benefits of growing up in a large family and raising seven children of my own was that there were always young children around the house.  No matter how frustrating life got, I could always count on a baby or young child saying or doing something that would put a smile on my face.

Balancing on the Tightrope of Life

The time for sorrow and suffering is over.  That’s what you and I will hear when our souls enter into heaven.  Can you hear the words being spoken as you enter into the Kingdom? “The time for sorrow and suffering is over.” Can you smell the heavenly scent?  Can you feel the soft cushion of the plush green heavenly grass under your bare feet?  Can you taste the cool clean sparkling water from the nearby heavenly stream?  Can you see your Savior in His full splendor and glory sitting on His throne?
