June 17, 2021
By Timothy P. O'Malley
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Uncategorized

I expected fatherhood to change the routines of my life. Everyone told me it would. Goodbye, sleep. Hello, collapsing in exhaustion at 8 p.m. What I did not suppose was the way fatherhood would be an occasion for conversion.

May 25, 2021
By Matt Palmer

Overcoming that empty feeling

By Father Eugene Hemrick
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary

Detachment is imperative to becoming our essential self. Its reward is joy that emanates from responding to God’s loving generosity planted in us.

The quest to be ‘somebody’ online forgets who we really are

April 26, 2021
By Brett Robinson
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Guest Commentary, Parenting

Our dignity comes from the fact that God has created us and we have a soul that is cherished by him. The fact that young people seek YouTube stardom so passionately should be a wake-up call to the church.

The grace to bloom where we’re planted

His life was enriched by a community that chose him, not the other way around. It took an investment of time — well more than a decade — to reap the benefits.

What will we sing in heaven?

March 30, 2021
By Dominican Father Vincent Ferrer Bagan
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Divine Worship, Easter, Feature, Guest Commentary

This March, as we celebrate Women’s History Month, let us pledge to rediscover and remember the lives and labors of the Black women, like Mother Tolton, who in the face of unyielding discrimination fought to make the church in the United States truly Catholic.
