‘You are precious; I love you’

June 28, 2018
By Christopher Gunty
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.

Solitude and solace

June 6, 2018
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Commentary, Local News

After open-heart surgery, Paul McMullen’s gratitude is keener than ever.

Mary, Mother of the Church

May 3, 2018
By Emily Rosenthal Alster
Filed Under: Amen, Commentary

I heard that someone commenting on the new memorial said, “Isn’t there enough about Mary, already?” How can there be too much about Mary when she brought us Jesus?

Protect children, each and every one

April 5, 2018
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Child & Youth Protection, Commentary, Local News

Those who turn a blind eye to the children  who are victims of human trafficking; young refugees from Afghanistan or Syria; or the young ones among us who do not have ample food, clothing, shelter and education, contribute to their neglect.

Amen: Men of Letters

March 22, 2018
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Commentary, Local News

Reading Archbishop Lori’s pastoral letter on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s principles of nonviolence prompted Paul McMullen to consider his actions – and inaction – on issues of race and discrimination.

Amen: Boring in eye of beholder

January 30, 2018
By Emily Rosenthal Alster
Filed Under: Amen, Commentary, Western Vicariate

When we choose to stay in our own little world, it’s not because we are hateful or uneducated or racist. Some like the hustle, bustle and skyline. I’ll take the calm, rolling hills and serenity. 

Amen: Ecclesiastes and 1968

January 10, 2018
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Blog, Local News

Social media pronounces that there has never been this much discord and downright hate in our nation. I wasn’t around for the Civil War, but do recall the mess that was 1968.

The thin green line

December 11, 2017
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Commentary, Local News

We are powerless, conversely, to stop acts of nature – God. We are, however, in position to help with the cleanup caused by both the divine and humanity.

Amen: Keepsakes amid detritus

November 1, 2017
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Commentary, Local News

There is a reason the obituary section is dubbed the Irish sports pages; for me, there is nothing melancholy about remembering absent friends.

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.

July 24, 2017
By Christopher Gunty
Filed Under: Amen, Amen Gunty Commentary, Commentary

The Catholic Review picked up 32 awards combined from the Associated Church Press, the Catholic Press Association of the U.S. and Canada, and the Maryland-Delaware-DC Press Association.

Amen: Graduates introduced to greatness at Seton Keough

June 22, 2017
By Erik Zygmont
Filed Under: Amen, Commentary

While Seton Keough has closed, Benton, Graves and Dambita – as well as their classmates and underclassmen – will keep the school’s spirit alive.
