Colton Marks

Directed by my spiritual fathers, St. John XXIII, St. Josemaria Escriva and Venerable Fulton Sheen, I love cultivating deeper relationships with others and with Christ. A proper conversation with me includes two or three references to Good Will Hunting and a short discussion on art, philosophy, theology or the book I’m currently reading. I’m a valiant supporter of a humanities-based education and I encounter an immensely spiritual experience with nature. Follow me on Instagram to see what else I am up to @colton_marks_

A Christian Response to Conflict

Loving others as Christ prescribes does not entail an intimate and personal relationship with everyone we meet, nor does it require us to spend copious amounts of time with them. However, Christ speaks to us in Matthew 5:44-45 when He professes, “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.”

Evangelizing on a Catholic Campus

If you go to a Catholic high school, while you might be on fire for your faith, you likely have friends and acquaintances who see their faith as just another class, not something that transforms their lives. That’s why, even in a Catholic school, you’re called to evangelize.
