Saint of the Day:
Our Lady of Fatima
Like the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes,
this appearance was not given to Church officials,
but to children. Through them, Mary requested
that the Church spread devotion to the rosary to
all the faithful.
In Silence, We Find God
In this day and age, it's very hard to be quiet.
With our tablets, smartphones, and myriad
other noisy distractions at our fingertips,
sometimes it's virtually impossible to quiet
our minds and our spirits.
The Origins of the Rosary
According to one tradition, the rosary’s defining
moment came during an apparition of Mary to
Saint Dominic around the year 1221.
My Phobia with the Sacrament
of Reconciliation
I have a confession to make: I haven’t been to
Confession in 30 years.
The Flip Side of the
Joyful Mysteries
A shadow hovers over the joyful
mysteries of the rosary. In it we
can find parallels to our own lives.
Beyond Thoughts
and Prayers
If we are ever going to prevent
more mass shootings, it's going
to take more than thoughts and
prayers.
Honoring the Sabbath,
Honoring Creation
The Sabbath, if practiced well, is no refuge
from our everyday lives, but a reorientation
that should come to permeate them.
