“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). After describing his thankfulness to God and his joy in the Philippians’ continuance in the gospel, Paul in this verse rejoices in their future, confident that God

There is only one torture device that should be used in the 10th circle of hell: middle seats on airplanes. The cramped quarters, jiggling the person next to you to take a leak and you descend into the next circle of hell when you come back to both of the armrests taken. I was flying

The closest people to saints I’ve ever met are my two sassy loudmouth lesbian grandmas from rural Washington. Known as Moo and Ne, they represent the best and most thoughtful Christians I know. Moo, a veteran, spent most of her adult life running the chicken soup brigade, offering hospice and medical care for people living

Editor’s note: This column includes discussions of suicide and drug addiction. Do you ever wake up and feel something is wrong? On Aug. 18, 2014, the birds chirping, the sun shining brightly over Lake Washington and a fully planned day of hanging out with friends. The perfect way to end the summer. The recipe for

For this project, I want to create the holiest of football teams that can still compete on the field. The anti-Oakland Raiders if you will. I would call this team the Saints but I feel that might be trademarked already. Let’s see who places where: Quarterback: St. Blaise. Blaise is famous for preventing the only

As anyone in the tri-campus community knows, Notre Dame football brings people together. Nov. 19 was the last 2016 Notre Dame football home game. It was a snowy Saturday morning: wet, windy, and cold. With the unpleasant weather, people could have stayed home until the day became nicer later on. Yet, at 10:30 a.m., Andrews Auditorium

Once in awhile, I have an urge to buy a lottery ticket. Usually, this feeling strikes in the supermarket checkout line. While I’m putting my groceries away and preparing to leave, my eyes will catch a glimpse of the ticket machine that may hold a one-way ticket to fortune. Of course, most tickets behind the

The parish I serve exposes me to a variety of age ranges, and I am fortunate to interact with many different families. My ministry at the high school, however, serves a much smaller demographic, which, save for faculty, staff and administration, comprises more than 1,000 teenagers. In each of these places, however, there is tremendous diversity
