Headlines Il Papa! Deal Hudson Reflects on His Encounter with Saint John Paul II By Deacon Keith Fournier | October 1, 2013 I never thought I would be part of a cheering, waving crowd. After all, I was too old, too sophisticated. Then John Paul II walked out on the stage. It was his Wednesday public audience, and together with my family and six friends I sat only a few rows from the stage of an enormous room that holds up to eight thousand. As he walked slowly toward his chair, I had the overwhelming feeling that I was seeing Christ, and I couldn't hold back, anything. Continue Reading... Jennifer Hartline: Trying to Learn Humility From St. Therese By Jennifer Hartline | October 1, 2013 St. Therese helps me understand: "the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy.if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus' garden. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be." (Story of a Soul) Continue Reading... TUESDAY HOMILY: Resolutely Setting our Face on Jerusalem with Jesus By Fr. Roger J. Landry | October 1, 2013 The saint whose feast day the Church celebrates today shows us how to align the eyes of our heart with Christ's vision and embrace the Cross as part of our Christian spirituality. When St. Therese was discerning what her truest vocation was, she saw famously that it was to be "love in the heart of the Church my mother." That was not some vague sentimentalism, but it was to enter into Christ's sacrificial love shown for us on the Cross. Continue Reading... Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II to be Canonized Together on Mercy Sunday By Deacon Keith Fournier | October 1, 2013 The decision to canonize Blessed John XXIII and Blessed John Paul II together speaks a message of mercy and underscores the fact that the work of renewal and reform of the Church, as properly understood, will continue. It also puts the axe to the root of any who, directly or indirectly, seek to diminish the importance of the Second Vatican Council. The joint participation of Benedict and Francis in the event underscores a proper approach to the Council, a hermeneutic of continuity. Continue Reading... MONDAY HOMILY: Who is the Greatest? By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | September 30, 2013 We do well to remember the fundamental "wildness" of Christianity. Continue Reading... The Strange and Queer Story of David and Cat Kaufman By Andrew M. Greenwell | September 30, 2013 I am not going to let poor misguided souls like David and Cat Kaufman who are palpably deaf to nature's music and nature's beauty, and whose hearts and view of reality is warped--in particularly as it relates to sexual identity, sexual inclination, and sexual activity--suggest to me that what they are doing, which is nothing but "vice the cruel city breeds," is beautiful, healthy, and good. Continue Reading... Pope Francis Speaks to Catechists and All Christians: Woe to the Complacent in Zion! By Pope Francis | September 29, 2013 "Woe to the complacent in Zion, to those who feel secure, lying upon beds of ivory!" (Am 6:1,4). They eat, they drink, they sing, they play and they care nothing about other people's troubles.These are harsh words which the prophet Amos speaks, yet they warn us about a danger that all of us face. What is it that this messenger of God denounces; what does he want his contemporaries, and ourselves, to realize? The danger of complacency, comfort, worldliness in our lifestyles and in our hearts, of making our well-being the most important thing in our lives. Continue Reading... Evangelical Simplicity and Learning to See Lazarus By Deacon Keith Fournier | September 30, 2013 Only when we recognize our own poverty can we begin to live lives that are truly dependent upon Jesus. Only He can satisfy the true hunger of the human heart. When we have Him, we have everything; even though we may possess nothing. We discover the secret of heaven's economy: those who live in simplicity are the richest people on the earth. Jesus called them the "poor in spirit." He promised them blessedness. He proclaimed that the kingdom of heaven belongs to them (Matt 5:3). Evangelical simplicity strips away only what impedes love. In finding our proper relationship to the goods of the earth-not utterly rejecting them, craving them, or turning them into an idol-we find true freedom. Our eyes are opened. We not only learn to see Lazarus, we see Jesus in Lazarus.  What will Caesar-Obama do to these two bishops that intend to disobey him?
