The Theology of Kevin McCallister

Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too

When you think of God, who do you envision? Is it a vengeful deity, disappointed by the waywardness of the Israelites? Or do you picture the loving father, joyfully welcoming his prodigal son with a grand feast? Perhaps you think of the God who has intimately,...

His Time, Not Mine

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a priest who I really love, and explaining to him a certain situation I was walking through. "I just don't want to waste my time," I explained, barely concealing my exasperation. ​ "Well, it's not your time, it's His," he responded...

    Saying No

    Saying No How did you respond the last time someone asked you to do something you really didn’t want to do? Did you take time to think about it? Did you politely decline? Did you swallow your objections and say yes to avoid making waves?   As Catholic Christian...

    When can I stop discerning and start doing?
