About to pray the rosary for Pope Leo's intentions for peace and conversion of hearts. Please join me.

Thanks, Fred!

.. entering into it. But if the mind does not see a glimmer of light to draw us in, it’s not so easy to enter into it. You have to wait for the Lord to give the glimmer. He does, and I clumsily stumble towards it. Maybe this is a small share in what the disciples experienced.

Both as a priest and a bishop, I have found preparing for the celebration of the Easter Vigil the most difficult preparation of the year. What it encompasses is not something I can wrap my mind around. I know it’s not a matter of wrapping the mind around it, it’s a matter of …

Opinion | The Light That Changed My Life

In the words of Isaiah, we have become a nation of smoldering wicks. We struggle to feel hope. We look at the world around us and ask: “Is this all there is? Is this really what it looks like to live in the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world?”

A "word on fire" from Father Louis J. Twomey, SJ, writing in 1949, speaks to a modern-day misrepresentation of Catholic social doctrine. open.substack.com/pub/matterst...

The Archbishop for Military Services put out a statement last fall expressing frustration that the Army canceled contracts that help support Catholic chaplains and Catholic service members. It's starting to be a pattern, this lack of support for Catholics in the military.

Working and Homeless: The Invisible Population Growing Every Year | Amanpour and Company YouTube video by Amanpour and Company

I joined Amanpour & Company to talk about why "working homeless"—a term that should be a scandal—has become an ordinary fact of American life.

40% of officially-counted homeless people have jobs. And that's before we get to the millions who are rendered invisible, who are never counted at all.
