DALLAS — Even after becoming the toast of the sports world, golfer Jordan Spieth, a 21-year-old Dallas Jesuit graduate, remained humble and down-to-earth as he worked the crowds at Augusta, handled the media, and bantered with morning and late night talk show hosts after his historic win. That’s no surprise to those who know the […]

Manaolana | Makana Aiona: A tree beside the waters
“If you’re going to say you’re a Catholic, don’t you think you should BE a Catholic?” Since I asked myself that question my life has never been the same.

YOUCAT*: Man can know by reason that God exists, but not what God is really like. Yet because God would very much like to be known, he has revealed himself. [CCC 50-53, 68-69] Reveal himself — he didn’t have to. But he did. Why? Because he loves us. Think about it. When you love someone, […]
Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: He>i and Lent
Growing up, choosing what to “give up” for Lent was hard. However, saying I wasn’t going to eat something for 40 days and go right back to eating it at 12:01 a.m. on Easter morning didn’t make any sense. The practice of fasting was never meant as a challenge, to see what you could live […]

YOUCAT*: “Man should honor the Creator in other creatures and treat them carefully and responsibly. Man, animals and plants have the same Creator who called them into being out of love.
