"Everyone is looking for you," His companions told Him, so Jesus continued healing the sick, driving out demons and preaching to them.

I Have Come To Set the World on Fire.

Taking a closer look at Our Lord, the Shepherd

The Importance of Tradition in the Liturgy: Ad Orientam
By Marcos Lopez
A few weeks back, His Eminence Robert Cardinal Sarah gave an address in London that focused on the importance of tradition to the Mass. He talked about various topics including sacred music, the place of the vernacular, and the special place of Latin in the liturgy.

Do Not Call Anyone on Earth ‘Father'-Not Even my Priest?
Do Not Call Anyone on Earth ‘Father'-Not Even my Priest?
By Matthew Martinez
The Bible tells us not to call anyone on earth father. I never questioned why we as Catholics call our priests “father”. I assumed there was nothing wrong with applying this title. I normally call my own father “dad”. But, likewise I would not question the validity of calling him father either.

A Divorce Society
A Divorce Society
By Samuel Matthews
We have lost our reverence for the Sacrament of Martrimony. You hear this a lot in reference to the legalization of homosexual "unions," which are indeed a terrible mockery of the indissoluble union between man and woman instituted by God. But this is just one of the symptoms of a culture bereft of respect for matrimony, and a rather minor one at that.

The beginning of John’s Gospel states “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
