Mary, Motherhood and the Family of God
Mary, Motherhood and the Family of God
Mary's motherhood, like motherhood in general, was lived out quietly behind the scenes. St. Pope John Paul II pointed out that "History is written almost exclusively as the narrative of men's achievements, when in fact its better part is most often molded by women's determined and persevering action for good."

Who Needs Healing?
Who Needs Healing?
Who needs healing? Imagine a post-apocalyptic world which has been decimated by the unleashing of tremendous forces of destruction. Imagine this world inhabited by wounded and traumatized survivors who face innumerable challenges, including the need to protect themselves from evil, mutated creatures actively seeking their annihilation.

A Passing Look At Football
A Passing Look At Football
This is a hard article to write because I love football. I come from a family of nine: Mom, Dad, 6 brothers and myself. From late August through January, the Sunday family ritual always included football. Packers football. No question. We all went to Mass together, and when we came home, Dad gave Mom a break by feeding all of us ham and rolls from the local bakery.

Destiny and the Blessing of Fathers
Destiny and the Blessing of Fathers
Deprivation can be an awful thing. There are many serious poverties in the world today. But there is one poverty that is perhaps too easily overlooked and yet has some of the most far-reaching effects upon destiny that one can imagine. This is the poverty that comes from the lack of blessing, and specifically the lack of a father's blessing.

Christmas and the Fulfillment of Human History
Christmas and the Fulfillment of Human History
God does not usually surprise us without first preparing us, sometimes for a long period of time, for what He is about to do. And yet, we are often surprised because we do not recognize His preparations. All of history, up to the first Christmas, was a preparation for that Holy Night.

Mature Believers
Mature Believers, on November 15, 1972, at a General Audience, Pope Paul VI said the following: "WHAT ARE the Church's greatest needs at the present time? Don't be surprised at Our answer and don't write it off as simplistic or even superstitious: one of the Church's greatest needs is to be defended against the evil we call the Devil."

Our Lady of Sorrows and the Prophecy of Simeon
Our Lady of Sorrows and the Prophecy of Simeon
Every person’s life is marked by both sorrows and joys. The two often intertwine in such a way as to make one impossible without the other. When considering a Feast like Our Lady of Sorrows, it is good to keep in mind that sorrow is always related to love. We do not grieve what we do not love. The greater the love, the deeper the sorrow when the good we love is lost,

Denial and the Roots of Violence
Denial and the Roots of Violence
One of the most distressing realities in the world today is the prevalence of violence. News stories ranging from reports of local crimes to the atrocities of the drug lords to the tortures and executions among rebels and fanatics and dictatorial regimes in various parts of the world seem more and more extreme and almost unbelievable. The destruction of the unborn, perhaps the worst example of all

The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Urgency of Divine Love
The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Urgency of Divine Love
In 1673, Jesus began appearing to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a humble nun of the Visitation Order, in Paray Le Monial, France. He revealed to her the tender wonders of His love for her, desiring through her to share these same wonders with the whole world. In the course of His revelations to St. Margaret Mary, Jesus complained of our ingratitude. But His complaint was weighted with ...

Women and the Priesthood
Women and the Priesthood
Further, Blessed Pope John Paul the Great said, in one of his many engaging teachings on man and woman, that the closer a person comes to God the more they become either mother or father. This is because God is Father. And both human motherhood and human fatherhood are reflections of God's Fatherhood which is divine. So women are meant to be mothers and men fathers. But ...

The Wine That Dazes
The Wine That Dazes
Recently, while speaking with a dear friend, I found myself sharing some of my personal experiences growing up during the 60's and 70's. I lived my grade school, high school and college, during the great movements and turmoil of that time: the civil rights movement with its urban riots, massive and active anti-war, anti-establishment activity especially on ...

The Healing Power of Silence
The Healing Power of Silence
We live in a wilderness, a wilderness of noise. Noise is not just about sound. It has to do with the constant barrage of stimulation to our senses, emotions and even our intellect, (read information overload.) The problem with all this noise, pure and simple, is that it is an obstacle to our own inner order and peace, and more importantly, to a living communion with God and with others.

Giving Up Secrets
Giving Up Secrets
People seem to have a lot of secrets these days. We could almost say we live in an age of secrets. Governments have become skilled at keeping secrets; businesses are adept at the same thing. Institutions, whether they be educational, medical or religious, all keep secrets for both good reasons and not so good reasons. But this reflects people in general. People tend to keep a lot of secrets.

Our Lady of Conquering Love
Our Lady of Conquering Love
At Calvary, where Jesus conquered sin, the flesh, the devil, death and all of hell, Mary was given to us to be our Mother. In His last moments Jesus shared His love for Mary with us that we might love her too and entrust ourselves to her care just as He did. It is a love upon which He bestows boundless blessing. Mary is not a passive woman, nor a ...
