Ordained to Sacrifice . . .Sacrifice and Vocations - Fr. John Hardon, S.J.Every vocation is born of sacrifice, is maintained by sacrifice, and is measured in the apostolate by the sacrifice of those whom God calls to the priesthood or the religious life.

He celebrated Holy Mass with incredible intensity and with an expression of suffering on his face. 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."
