Ever felt like you were just slogging your way through the spiritual life?

You're doing your best to work on this virtue or that, but frustrated because you just can't seem to make progress.

Yes, you've had some minor victories here and there...like not speaking when everything inside of you was screaming, "Are you kidding me??"

Or maybe you changed the channel or clicked away from something you knew wasn't going to be good for your soul.

Even so, all too often it feels like one step forward and two steps backward in the life of virtue.

We've all been there at some point or another.

But there's hope...

Experience Fatima, Spain, & Lourdes with Matthew!

Join me from March 9-18, 2026, on a life-changing pilgrimage into the heart of Our Lady, as we visit some of the most well-known Marian shrines in the world. Click here for all the details!

Perhaps you've heard that humility is the queen of the virtues.

It's true.

In fact, the spiritual greats call it the "Queen of the Virtues" because it feeds and empowers the rest of them.

And there's a deeper secret power of this queenly virtue that, once understood and employed, can radically change your whole spiritual life.

Give me four minutes and I'll explain it in today's Sainthood Snippet.

God bless!

Matthew
