Understanding
Understanding
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
To commence means to begin. However, a commencement ceremony is a graduation--more of an end than a beginning. When you look at it, our language is filled with linguistic anomalies. We use a parkway for driving and a driveway for parking. A cargo is moved by ship and a shipment is moved by car.

So-called "church-sins" reconsidered
By Josef Bordat
How to handle anti-catholic offenses? What to say if you, as a faithful Catholic, are blamed for inquisition, witch-hunt, crusades, wars, oppression of minorities and so on?

Long-suffering
Long-suffering
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
An almost archaic word that sounds like a term from the outdated wordage of Shakespeare is “long-suffering.” It means, of course, “putting up with a difficulty for an extended period.” It’s not quite the same as patience, which is basically “undisturbed waiting.” Long-suffering implies a bit more, namely, the lengthy sustaining of suffering or adversity.

Prudence
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
many a Christian has met with a disaster, not physically but spiritually, by relying on his or her personal feelings--often sincere but erroneous--rather than on the established norms of God’s revealed truth, especially as they are articulated by Christ’s Church, “the pillar and bulwark of truth”(1 Tm 3:15), with its Spirit-guided teaching (see Jn 16:13).
