Articles:Advent Dynamism - Fr. Roger LandryHappy New Year! This week the Church, indeed, inaugurates a new year dedicated to our reliving in time the central mysteries of the life of Christ. Christ is the “the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end” (Rv 22:13), and the Church has us begin each year focusing both on the end and on the beginning so that we might better live the present.

WikerWe tend to consider speculation about extraterrestrials to be a recent phenomenon, a task forced on us by the scientific knowledge we’ve gained during the last century.

It is the purpose of this article to introduce some of the themes of Balthasar’s work. Read more... Answering Scandal with Personal Holiness - Fr. Roger J. LandryThe headlines were captured recently by the news that perhaps up to seventy priests in the Archdiocese of Boston have abused young people whom they were consecrated to serve. Today, I'd like to tackle the issue head-on. You have a right to it. We cannot pretend as if it didn't exist. I'd like to discuss what our response should be as faithful Catholics to this terrible scandal. Read more... Anxiety - Fr. Joseph EsperSome saints were as prone to worry and anxiety as the rest of us are. Read more... Pages: [<<] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ... [>>] Related Categories:
