Who Do You Say That I Am? – Pseudo-Dionysius on the Divine Names

Smeared Mascara and Baby Steps
I now believe that as I learned more and more about the nature of God, it became easier for me to be more patient with my sister, to let my guard down and not expect the worst, and to both forgive and forget when things got rocky.

A Defense of the Argument from Motion
When I was first introduced to St. Thomas Aquinas’ Five Ways, I was unimpressed. I was a junior attending Catholic high school, and, at the time, I did not believe in God.

Christianity and the Pursuit of Happiness
From both a Christian angle and a humanist angle, I think happiness is not something we should be striving or aspiring towards, or viewing as the truth.

Subsidiarity, Solidarity, and Social Teaching: A Catholic Perspective on Political Economy

Visitors
This photograph was taken at my friend’s house when I visited him during fall break. There are very few acts of trust more intimate and more vulnerable than opening up one’s home to another.

Abundant Life, Abundant Love, and the Empty Tomb
At the empty tomb, I want to ask the same two questions as at the Cross - why is it necessary, and why is it possible?

More Than Words
As an American I have been taught implicit and explicit lessons my whole life on what to order my life around, from family, to education, wealth, acceptance, etc. And while all of these things are good things, they all miss the point.
