Two Greatest Commandments the Key to Happiness
By Bill Dunn
A lot of people nowadays are desperately seeking happiness. This may seem odd, since our modern society is fabulously prosperous. I’m not minimizing, of course, the fact that there are plenty of people in our nation who are poor and struggling. But overall, the vast majority of citizens nowadays are overwhelmingly blessed, especially when compared to previous generations of Americans.

Do we see Jesus?

Of course, there are many ways for us to see Jesus. We can see Jesus in others, much like St. Mother Teresa. We can see Jesus in the sacraments, most notably in His real presence in the Eucharist.

Let No One Deceive You
Let No One Deceive You
By Joseph Michael
There’s a special kind of Kool-Aid being passed around at American seminaries and I’m really not sure what’s in it, but’s it is lethal. Recently, a New York Times article went viral in which the president of a seminary in New York City was interviewed by a typically Timesian editorialist; I’m not interested in plugging either of them so I’ll leave both individuals unnamed.

What is Confirmation?
What is Confirmation?
By Tony Jesse
Of the seven Sacraments, probably the most misunderstood among Catholics is Confirmation. People routinely mistake Confirmation for "Catholic graduation," or some sort of coming of age ceremony akin to a bar mitzvah. These common misconceptions of Confirmation miss the mark, and, consequently, confuse people about what Confirmation actually is.

By Bill Dunn
[In this week’s gospel reading at Mass, Jesus appeared to His disciples at the shore of the Sea of Galilee. We read: “This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.” It was only His third appearance—and there were not going to be many others.

When Jesus Rose from the Dead where was the Blessed Mother? Ask Pope St. John Paul II
By Larry Peterson
When Easter morning arrived, someone was missing. That someone is the very lynchpin of the Salvation story. That someone is the Blessed Virgin, Mary. She is nowhere to be seen or heard. Where was she?

By Bill Dunn
Recently, I attended a men’s weekend retreat, and during one of the presentations the speaker said, “Before his conversion, St. Paul, known then as Saul of Tarsus, persecuted Christians relentlessly, even to the point of having some believers sentenced to death. He was a real jerk.”

How Doctrine Develops
How Doctrine Develops
By JP Nunez
We Catholics walk a very thin line when it comes to the identity of our faith with that of the first generation of Christians. On the one hand, we believe that the Catholic faith has been handed down to us from Jesus and the Apostles and has remained intact to this day, but on the other hand, we have to admit that modern Catholicism looks very different from nascent Christianity.

Resurrection / Cross / Suffering
Resurrection / Cross / Suffering
By Ralph Hathaway
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Easter is here and will not go away. We should relish in the realism that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, is risen, and death from sin has been destroyed. Lent, the journey from Ash Wednesday through Wednesday of Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil remain with us throughout the year.

What the Lord teaches us through the Notre Dame Cathedral fire
What the Lord teaches us through the Notre Dame Cathedral fire
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Like so many around the world, I watched in horror and shock as the images of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris flooded news feeds and television reports. My first thought was “I hope the Blessed Sacrament is ok.” Now, as the ashes settle, investigations into the cause continue, and plans for reconstruction perhaps begin, I would urge everyone to see beyond what was lost.

Where is our moral compass?
Where is our moral compass?
