Many people falsely believe that human strength is at the heart of heroism, but Maximilian Kolbe’s life demonstrates that the path to true heroism begins with humility.

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. November 24, 2020

Learning to love as God loves

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. July 26, 2020

The greater people’s faults, the more difficult it becomes to see the good in them, which is why we must practice this skill in little ways with all those we encounter.

Friendships help us discover Christ

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. July 12, 2020

No matter the circumstances, friendship is not just an experience of enjoying the company of others. At its best, friendship is an opportunity to discover Christ.

There is no predictable timing for healing from loss but there are things we can do to help ourselves get through that painful period.

The revival of interest in the work of Fred Rogers indicates that our society yearns for the culture of respect and love of neighbor that he tried to foster.

A Catholic Apologist in the NFL

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. June 6, 2019
By Father Ed Dougherty, M.M.
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Light One Candle

“The most important goal of a single Catholic man is to get his soul to heaven,” Zuerlein says, “but the most important goal of a married Catholic man expands to getting not only his own soul to heaven, but also those of his wife and children. It’s almost as if, as a result of the love that you share, you have one soul as a family.”

The Eucharist and Christ’s love

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. May 23, 2019
By Father Ed Dougherty, M.M.
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Light One Candle

Ultimately, adoration opens our hearts to the reality of Christ’s love, empowering us to return to our everyday lives and relationships inspired to follow in his footsteps by making sacrifices and being willing to do what is right for the sake of others.

In praise of Catholic caregivers

Father Ed Dougherty, M.M. February 6, 2018
By Father Ed Dougherty, M.M.
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Light One Candle

It is important that Catholics remain confident in answering the call to serve while also upholding the beliefs that have been handed down to us by Christ.
