It’s that time again. Time to deal with the commercials persuading us to start a healthy diet and join a gym so we can get in-shape and lose weight… or time to invest in an opportunity that will make us more money, build self-confidence, make more friends outside of Facebook – all in an effort to become happier.

Catholics in Syria live and lead by example. There is no other option for them. And by their example we can see our own lives with fresh eyes. How are we living for Christ, today, in our families and workplace and business practices?

There are a couple of things that we have to understand at the very outset. The world for Muslims is divided into two parts. First, the land of the people of Islam. Islam means being submitted.

And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered. (Luke 2:6). The hope of such good news from Washington and St. Lucia reminds us of the ultimate Good News – the birth of Christ himself as a man and our way to God through his death and resurrection.

The Population Research Institute (PRI) would never say, “I told you so,” but they’ve been telling the world so for a while now, and the latest news about plummeting birth rates in Germany only makes their persistent alarm all the more prophetic.

…and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7) It is with this same sense of renewal that Catholics come to the manger – the stable where Christ was born more than 2,000 years ago. While not ideal, the stable was the first room in which our Savior lived when he came to earth, as 20th century Catholic Italian writer Giovanni Papini notes.

In trying to find a “typical” Catholic school for Pope Francis to visit in the United States, planners found Our Lady Queen of Angels in New York.
But given the diversity of situations of U.S. Catholic schools, the inner-city Harlem school gave the pope only a glimpse of the wide variety of models of Catholic education available in various parts of the country.

We are now well into the Advent season. I am enjoying reading daily reflections from the wisdom of Pope Saint John Paul II. At Sunday Mass when Father Bud Roland lit the first candle on the Advent wreath he talked about Advent being a time of waiting and watching in preparation for the coming of Jesus. He also talked about memory, mystery and majesty – each of which is a part

So, what’s the secret to raising more than a million bucks in 24 hours? And, even more challenging, what’s the secret to do this as a local Catholic group in down-south New Orleans, not as a big national organization or religious order? It’s pretty amazing! It’s also a terrific lesson in quick, entrepreneurial thinking and leveraging the power of social media, #GivingTuesday (

The so-called “Muslim terrorists” do not think of themselves as “Muslim terrorists” but consider themselves to be the only real followers of Mohammed… This is an excellent, well-written, intelligent article that delivers a Catholic perspective with grace and candor—well worth your time to read…

Earlier this year, April 11, 2015, on the Feast of Divine Mercy (the first Sunday after Easter), Pope Francis announced a Jubilee Year of Mercy to begin on December 8, 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception… that’s today!
