Amen Gunty Commentary

A dad at heart

June 13, 2019
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

No, my father wasn’t famous, but he was my dad. He passed away in 2003. And just like Kelly Conway said of her father, my siblings and I would say, “We knew he would have to leave us someday, but that day came too soon.” 

‘Pea toast’ and other sacrifices

March 7, 2019
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Lent

We fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and abstain from meat on the other Fridays of the season, but it’s not much of a sacrifice to splurge on lobster instead of beef as a Lenten meal.

Combat disaster fatigue with compassion

Harden not your heart. Combat disaster fatigue with compassion.

I have seen the face of Christ

September 10, 2018
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Many years ago, I read an essay that pointed out that the church – whose head is Christ – must have a dual nature: like Jesus, both divine and human. If the church were not human, it would not be riddled with sinners and all that sin brings into our lives; but if the church were not divine, it could not have lasted two millennia, the argument went.

Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

We cannot simply say, “Have a nice day,” to someone who is clinically depressed, and expect that to change his or her situation. But we can learn to identify warning signs (see box) and get help for those who are hurting.

Amen: Lessons learned about human life

October 5, 2017
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary, Respect Life

My folks showed the face of Christ to those they met. They instilled respect for life in us.

In Baltimore, five quick years for Archbishop Lori

May 9, 2017
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Five years in as the 16th shepherd of the first diocese in the United States, it seems like Archbishop Lori is just getting started.

Amen: Amid change, same message

November 17, 2016
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Through all of this change, the message of the church remains the same: Jesus Christ – yesterday, today and forever, as St. John Paul II reminded us.

Amen: World Youth Day visits country steeped in our faith

July 27, 2016
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

Poland is Catholic – spiritually and culturally. The faith is woven into the lives and fortunes of the people.
