Bet you didn't expect that title, did you? Isn't "love" always a good thing? Christian morality is in large part about learning to love the right things in the right way.

This Friday, March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, Pope Francis and the bishops of the world will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, praying "that war may end and peace spread throughout the world."

If we're supposed to be praying all of the time, how are we supposed to live our ordinary lives? Are Christians only supposed to do religious things? How can we be holy in the midst of our responsibilities?

Jesus challenges us in the Sermon on the Mount, “So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). What does this mean, exactly, and how is this different from an unhealthy “perfectionism”?

God can accomplish whatever he wants without our prayers, so why does he insist on waiting for us to ask him in prayer? Lent is the perfect time to learn about the importance of intercession.

Have you ever had the opportunity to see the night sky without any artificial light? Lent challenges us to set aside the things of earth in order to more clearly see the things of heaven.
