“Keep your Rosaries off of my ovaries!” Is abortion really just a “religious” issue? Are pro-life Catholics just trying to force their religion on others?
The bishops of the United States have urged all Catholics in our nation to unite in prayer and fasting on Friday, May 13 for the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the conversion of hearts and minds of those who advocate for abortion.
How does the death of Jesus really save us? I'd like to focus on one key aspect: Jesus' trusting surrender to God's mysterious will makes up for our mistrust.
One of the most valuable lessons that I've learned from the writings of saints and holy people is to live in the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Reflecting on the past and planning for the future both have their benefits, but they can also be an obstacle to holiness.
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.
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”?

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.
What do you and I need in order to go to heaven? The simplest, one-word answer would be "Jesus," but Catholic teaching highlights three virtues that unite us to Jesus and prepare our hearts for eternal life.
This Friday, January 21, 2022, tens of thousands of Americans from across the country - including many of our own parishioners - will gather in the nation's capital for the 49th annual March for Life. You don't have to be religious to acknowledge the dignity of the human person and the right to life.
This year I've heard more people than usual expressing the difficulty of finding joy as we approach Christmas. How can we open ourselves up to the true joy that Christmas promises?
On December 8, the Catholic Church celebrates the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What does this dogma mean, and what does it teach us about our own salvation?
The season of “Advent” is a time when the Church turns her attention to the coming of Christ. Most of us look forward to seeing Jesus in the manger, but do we also look forward to Jesus coming on the clouds of Heaven to judge the living and the dead?
