Commentary

Walking the Emmaus road as a family

April 21, 2025
By Laura Kelly Fanucci
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter

The road to Emmaus reminds us that Christ goes with us everywhere, walking and talking among us: in our conversations and debates, in ordinary meals and sacred liturgies, in journeys near and far. Our hearts burn within us, too, whenever we realize he has been right next to us all along.

Beyond the veil

April 20, 2025
By Scott P. Richert
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter

As we leave the 40 days of Lent behind us and once again boldly shout “Alleluia!” in the joy of Christ’s Resurrection, may we make a conscious effort this Easter season to set aside our childish literal-mindedness and search for the symbols in our lives that allow us a glimpse beyond the veil of this material world to the kingdom that is both yet to come and, in Christ, already here.

A basket filled with faith: Eastern Europe Easter tradition explained

April 19, 2025
By Katarzyna Szalajko
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter

Holy Saturday is one of those days when the church, though liturgically silent, speaks volumes through signs.

Carlo Acutis: Computer programmer, Eucharist devotee, first millennial saint

April 17, 2025
By Meg Hunter-Kilmer
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Saints

Blessed Carlo Acutis had a PlayStation. He made awkward videos with his friends. His favorite cartoon was “Pokémon.” And on April 27, he will be canonized a Catholic saint.

A Eucharistic Word: Habit

April 17, 2025
By Michael R. Heinlein
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Eucharist

As any parent will understand, praying well at Mass with three children is not easy — or sometimes, even possible.

Question Corner: Can my friend’s annulment case be sped up so she can enter the church at Easter?

April 16, 2025
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

We should keep in mind that the church sees the process of Christian initiation as a spiritual journey, not as an academic year with a deadline for “graduation.”

Looking toward the dawn at Easter

April 16, 2025
By Effie Caldarola
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary

It’s difficult to think of laughter when you see the suffering of the men who languish, none of them having access to due process, in a brutal foreign prison. But as Christians we are called to hope, even in the midst of night.

Welcome home

April 16, 2025
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter, The Domestic Church

The miracle of Easter shows that anything and everything is possible for God, and that even death does not have the final word.

The story of the melted bunnies

April 15, 2025
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Lent, Open Window

Weeks and weeks ago, I was walking down the seasonal aisle at the grocery store when I stopped to look at the Easter candy. I spotted chocolate bunnies who were posed as if they were taking selfies. I thought of my niece in college several states to the north. I knew she would be amused. […]

What are the 14 traditional Stations of the Cross?

April 15, 2025
By D.D. Emmons
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Lent

Unlike the followers of Christ on that Good Friday, we know that the 14th station is not the end, that death does not win; rather, in his sacrifice, we find the sure knowledge of eternal life.

Hope in the tomb

April 15, 2025
By Father Joshua J. Whitfield
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter

This is the pattern, the lesson, Easter’s strange suggestion, that even in the tombs of our lives, even when there’s no reasonable ground to hope, we still do not despair.

Are the crown of thorns, holy nails and other relics of Christ real?

April 14, 2025
By Deborah Castellano Lubov
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter

The history of relics — authentic or fake — is an amazing, fascinating chapter of Christian history through the centuries, especially the relics of Jesus Christ, which remain the most venerated and famous.
