Greed is the inordinate desire for material wealth, power, or personal satisfaction, often leading to the devaluation of human life. This devaluation can manifest in the decisions and policies that contribute to the prevalence of abortion.

Greed is considered a deadly sin because it fundamentally distorts the human person’s relationship with God, with others, and with creation.

Lust, like gluttony, provides a temporary escape from life's troubles but ultimately leaves the soul in danger.

It can also rear its ugly head in subtle ways like when we are not content with what we have, always wanting more and filling our entire lives with excess.

If you are a person of prayer, I can guarantee you are constantly distracted during your sacred time.

We are called to freely choose God’s will for our lives by obeying His commandments and pursuing our own sanctification though prayer, fasting, the sacraments and striving to grow in virtue.

We are His creation. We are the images God had in His mind, made flesh.

My struggle with rumination is a significant hurdle. I often believe I've forgiven someone, only to find a trigger that sends me spiraling, replaying old grievances.

I wanted to find God, the real God. I did believe in God but was Jesus really God? As I sit here now writing this, I chuckle, little did I know then what I know now but that’s life isn’t it?
