Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, News, World News

Christmas this year is arriving amid shock and tears. The images of devastation wrought by at least 22 tornadoes slashing their way through Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois are etched in our national consciousness.

The miracle we share at every Mass

November 9, 2021
By Greg Erlandson
Filed Under: Commentary, Eucharist, Guest Commentary
