The miracle of Pentecost
Pentecost is a miraculous time in the life of the Church.
An ode in praise of a beloved friend
When my barber David Knight who worked in the U.S. Senate building died, it felt like losing a beloved family member.
In praise of dad jokes and divine humor
My husband is down in the kitchen, cooking eggs for our four boys. From upstairs, I hear him serve up a little extra on the side: a classic dad joke about "makin' bacon.
Selling the sizzle at a parish near you
I heard about a parish recently. It has regular Eucharistic Adoration, but only the old-timers show up, and their numbers are shrinking.
A prayer in the face of loss
My elderly aunt was a walker. After she retired, she would hoof it around our small town to visit friends or rise early to walk downtown to the coffee shop for breakfast.

If we do not properly celebrate the life of someone who has left us we do an injustice to that person and cheat ourselves of some of the gift that he or she left behind.
Controlling your thoughts
Do you suffer from disturbing or obsessive thoughts? If so, relief is available. It will be in an uphill battle, but with perseverance and the help of God, it’s a battle that’s worthwhile because it can be won.

The difficulties encountered by good Samaritans today
In these times, it is good to reflect once again on the parable of the good Samaritan (Lk 10:25-37) because along our southern border the mercy and compassion urged by Jesus can result in criminal charges that can lead to prison. First, let's look at the parable.
The search for more
Summertime used to be about big blockbuster movies. This summer box office receipts are sagging and even the sequels are having a hard time.
Learning to listen and listening to learn
In June we observed the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the massive invasion in Normandy, France, that led to the Allied victory in World War II.
'Lord of the dance'
If it's Thursday night, it's a free outdoor concert at a local mall. It's a pretty spot -- a courtyard right next to an Italian restaurant with outdoor seating. Lots of flowers, a small stage, a few iron benches.
