William SaundersLast weekend, I attended the 50th ordination anniversary of Father Joseph Loftus. I learned that he had belonged to the Missionaries of La Salette. What is the story of Our Lady of La Salette? Read more... Our Lenten purpose - Father George William RutlerOne quotation, to which I have had frequent recourse, is commonly attributed to Harry Emerson Fosdick, although he seems to have taken it without attribution from John Ruskin. Read more... Padre Pio: The Saint of Our Time - WANDA POLTAWSKAI could observe Padre Pio from a short distance. He was an old man at the time and walked very slowly. He celebrated Holy Mass with incredible intensity and with an expression of suffering on his face. Read more... Papal Tiara - Fr. William SaundersWhen visiting the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception I saw the papal crown of Pope Paul VI. Do the popes still wear this crown? I don’t remember seeing Pope John Paul II ever wearing it. Read more... Paradise Lost, Again and Again - George Sim JohnstonThe idea of Original Sin -- that we are all implicated in some terrible aboriginal calamity -- does not sit well with the modern mind. Read more... Parochial Vicar and Administrator - Fr. William SaundersI would like to know the meaning of the terms “parochial vicar” and “administrator.” Why are they now being used? When I was growing up, we had only pastors and assistant pastors in our parishes. Read more... Parsing the Pontiff - George WeigelTo understand the pope's visit to the Holy Land, start with his view of Scripture. Read more... Particular Examen on the Theological Virtues - Father John A. Hardon, S.J.Before applying the particular examen to my own spiritual life, it is well to first ask myself, "What are the virtues that I know from experience I most need to develop?" Read more... Pascal: The First Modern Christian - Edward T. OakesInside all the talk about multiculturalism, contemporary culture often balks at including Christianity in its "gorgeous mosaic." This uneasiness has sometimes been dubbed the "ABC Rule," meaning "anything but Christianity." Undoubtedly Pascal would amend that to mean "anyone but Christ," for at root that is where the scandal lies. Read more... Passing on the Faith - Basketball Style - Katrina J. ZenoFor decades, the normal offensive formation for basketball has been 2-1-2: a point guard, shooting guard, two forwards, and a center. In this formation, the center dominates with the ball revolving around him. But what does this have to do with passing on the faith? Read more... Passing on the Keys - Gary ShirleyIt’s election year in America. Time to endure that painful process where politicians, pollsters and pundits all vie for the national spotlight. Truth is stretched beyond recognition. Promises vaporize. Supposed chaos will prevail if we do not elect some enlightened candidate to save the nation. Read more... Pastoral Letter to the Catholics of Ireland - Pope Benedict XVIDear brothers and sisters of the Church in Ireland, it is with great concern that I write to you as Pastor of the universal Church. Read more... Pastors, Administrators, Parochial Vicars - Fr. William SaundersI saw all of the new priest assignments in the HERALD, and my parish is getting an "administrator." Didn’t it used to be that we had pastors and assistant pastors? Now we have administrators and parochial vicars. Is there a difference? Read more... Patience - Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.Patience is the virtue which makes us accept for love of God, generously and peacefully, everything that is displeasing to our nature. Read more... Patience and Commitment - Donald DeMarcoLife is certainly confusing, especially if you have no principles to give it coherence, direction, and meaning. Read more... Pentecost - Father George W. RutlerToday all that our Lord had planned by his Incarnation, Death, Resurrection and Ascension is fulfilled when He fills the Church with the Holy Spirit Read more... Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapels: Their Place in Our Busy World - Tom O'Toole"The church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to meet Him in adoration in contemplation full of faith and open to making amends for serious offenses . . . of the world. Read more... Personal Influence, the Means of Propagating the Truth - Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman"Out of weakness were made strong." Heb. xi. 34. Read more... Personally Against Abortion, But Pro-Choice - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSSometimes I have met Catholics who say, "I am personally against abortion, but I am pro-choice." To me, that makes no sense, but how can I argue with them? Read more... Persons Are Unrepeatable - John F. CrosbyWe speak of individual animals, looking upon them simply as single specimens of a particular animal species. And this definition suffices. Read more... Physical Reminders of Our Faith: the Wearing of Religious Medals - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSMy child received a medal with a picture of his saint on it for First Communion. When a Protestant friend asked the meaning, I think I gave a pretty good answer, but I hope you can give a better explanation. Read more... Piety - Donald DeMarcoI am writing this article on Memorial Day, a time set aside for reflecting on the debt we owe to those who came before us and fought, struggled, and died in defending the values and privileges we often take for granted. Today is an occasion for thinking seriously and appreciatively about the virtue of piety. Read more...

Pope Benedict's 2008 Message for Lent - Pope Benedict XVIEach year, Lent offers us a providential opportunity to deepen the meaning and value of our Christian lives, and it stimulates us to rediscover the mercy of God so that we, in turn, become more merciful toward our brothers and sisters.
