Headlines Feast of the Guardian Angels: Angels Are Real and All Around Us By Deacon Fred Bartels | October 2, 2013 The Lord has given us devoted, powerful friends of resplendent beauty who stand ready at our side, ever-watchful angelic guardians who take a personal interest in seeing us arrive safely at our final destination. Let us remember to frequently speak with our guardian angels, converse with them as true friends, and gratefully thank them for all they have done, for we cannot as of yet know of the many times they have rescued us from some calamity. Let us ask for their assistance as we live our daily lives in the Lord.  What Did the Pope Say? Developing a Hermeneutic of Papal Interviews By Andrew M. Greenwell | October 2, 2013 It seems that in dealing with this new genre of Papal communications, since it does not appear that it will go away, we will have work on a hermeneutic, a theory of interpretation, that allows us to understand the Papal media interviews and avoid an apoplexy of faith each time these are released.

How the Church Will Change: Evangelical Catholic Pope Francis Gives Another Interview By Deacon Keith Fournier | October 2, 2013 I question the emerging "blogo-sterium", a self appointed digital council which has decided they can determine whether the Pope is Catholic enough. I choose instead to learn from this Pope with a big heart. He is not afraid to encounter self professed atheists like Eugenio Scalfari. He does so because of the love of God. He writes no-one off. He engages them all with true respect, human and heavenly affection. He enters into dialogue and then does what Christians do, he shares the liberating message of the Gospel. Pope Francis is an evangelical Catholic Pope in a new missionary age. 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... 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... MONDAY HOMILY: Who is the Greatest? By Fr.
