The issues Newman examined with incomparable insight continue to be relevant today, one hundred and fifty years after it was first published.

But, it wasn’t until my wife and I entered the Catholic Church over four years ago that I truly understood my family is my vocation.
Sounds great, but what does that mean? Isn’t our career our “vocation”?

By Randy HainI had an epiphany a few nights ago at our parish Lenten Mission. As Father Bailey gave his homily during the penance service and we were all preparing ourselves to go to Reconciliation, I realized that I was about to confess many of the same sins I have been struggling with for years.
