Articles:Before the Crib - Fr. Leonard M. Puech, O.F.M.When we look at the crib a text of St. Paul comes to mind: "You know the graciousness of our Lord Jesus Christ; how, being rich, he became poor for your sakes, that by his poverty you might become rich" (2 Cor. 8,9). This text was dear to St. Francis, who alludes to it in his rule, when he recommends poverty to his disciples.

Email This Article Bringing our fallen-away relations back to Church during Advent - Rev. John HorganEach Christmas, our churches are thronged with people who come to pray before the Manger, join in the singing of carols, and feel the warmth of the Saviour's love.

John Hardon, S.J.Apologists of Buddhism describe it as the richest, broadest and most lasting of Aryan religions. Yet the name itself is of recent origin and refers to the vast system of teachings that trace their ancestry to the Indian sage, Gautama or the Buddha, who lived and died about the fifth century before the Christian era.

Kenneth Baker, S.J.It is possible to injure another's good name either by telling lies about that person or by revealing hidden faults which should not be revealed. Email This Article Can Anyone Say “Forever”? - Fr. Peter M.J. StravinskasOnce a man has been ordained a priest, he can never again really be a layman. He has been “ontologically” changed, that is, changed at the very core of his being, just as in Baptism and Confirmation.
