Appreciating good homilies

June 20, 2022
By Greg Erlandson

Wherever two or three Catholics are gathered, at some point, there is certain to be grumbling about preaching.

Opportunities for witness and evangelization are everywhere and all about us.

CCC collection supports local, global Catholic media and communications

May 19, 2022
By Catholic News Service
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Journalism

Gifts to the Catholic Communication Campaign benefit local dioceses and their communication efforts, and it will supply far more than technology — it will spread the faith, hope and love of Jesus Christ, and of his Church, to people and places where the word of God is needed most.

Taking care of Mom and Dad

May 11, 2022
By Maureen Pratt
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Guest Commentary, Seniors

This month and next, as we celebrate all mothers and fathers, many of us will be in the blessed but challenging position of helping our parents navigate their older years, when human fragility can bring on sometimes all-encompassing vulnerability.

Report: Kids’ time spent on screen soars during the pandemic

April 27, 2022
By Mark Pattison
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Arts & Culture, Commentary, Coronavirus, Feature, Guest Commentary

Use of screen media per day is up 17 percent for teens (ages 13-18) and tweens (ages 8-12) from the start of the pandemic, according to Common Sense Media. And that doesn’t take into account time spent attending school virtually and doing homework.

Evening news despair and Easter hope

April 12, 2022
By Greg Erlandson
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter, Guest Commentary

A news anchor’s grim highlights of Armageddon will never be the last word. But the final chapter has been written already by the Lord of Easter.

Mary, woman of wonders against the lords of war

April 7, 2022
By Hosffman Ospino
Catholic News Service

It is with sadness and puzzlement that our world witnesses the invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign nation, by its neighbor Russia, an exponentially more powerful country politically, economically and militarily.

How to work for mercy at home

April 4, 2022
By Laura Kelly Fanucci
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Guest Commentary, Lent

The works of mercy call us to look closer: to see those around us as Christ, too. Often it’s easier to say we love humanity, but harder to love the human beings in our own home.

Fasting: Connecting to joy

March 11, 2022
By Father Richard Malloy, S.J.
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Guest Commentary, Lent

When fasting, we are more likely to be attentive; be intelligent; be reasonable; be responsible.
