Pride may well be the first deadly sin to arrive and the last to leave.

Why does God ask us to offer so many unrequited prayers?

In the 'Lord of the Flies,' the one who slanders and scatters, isn’t out there, in the dark, he's within them.

We don’t give the church its mission. Christ does.

Joy in the next life depends upon justice in this one.

The best things in life really are free.

We stayed there through the night, waiting for reports from “the great out there.”

The phone rang. “Father, it’s Joss. We think there is someone in the choir loft.”

Pride isn’t the answer to our fears. Humility is. If you lack humility, pray for God to gird your life with love.

We can close ourselves to the best of this life, and, however else we define sin, it is surely that.
