Practice the ‘BeDADitudes’

June 14, 2025
By Dr. Greg Popcak
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Marriage & Family Life

The eight Beatitudes given to us by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount can shed light on a uniquely Christian vision of fatherhood, enabling faithful dads to become fathers after the Father’s own heart

Comfort my people: Unexpected surprises in life

June 12, 2025
By Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary

The thing that most of us probably find most challenging is that in it all we are ultimately called to endurance and patience, and to humbly and attentively seek to accomplish what sets itself before us.

June 12, 2025
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

When I think of our Father in heaven, I like to imagine him being a little like my father on Earth – looking at a problem and finding a way to solve it that I can’t see.

Question Corner: Is the parish administrator the same thing as a pastor?

June 12, 2025
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Asking for human life and dignity protections in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’

June 9, 2025
By Archbishop Thomas Wenski
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Immigration and Migration, Respect Life

Congress could make this “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” less expensive, more advantageous economically and beneficial to the entire community by removing the increased spending on the enforcement-only approach to immigration and moving the bill forward with a stay on deportations of non-criminal immigrants.

A pope for our time

June 6, 2025
By Scott P. Richert
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Vatican

Communicate hope with gentleness

June 5, 2025
By Sister Hosea Rupprecht
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Journalism, social media
