Christopher GuntyJune 26, 20193 min read
The Good News that Jesus brought us is timeless – more timeless even than musical classics such as “Yesterday” or “The Long and Winding Road.”

A dad at heart

Christopher GuntyJune 13, 20193 min read
No, my father wasn’t famous, but he was my dad. He passed away in 2003. And just like Kelly Conway said of her father, my siblings and I would say, “We knew he would have to leave us someday, but that day came too soon.”

‘Infinite sadness’ marks the loss of grand Cathedral of Notre Dame

Christopher GuntyApril 16, 20196 min read
I’ve visited the grand cathedral a few times since the late 1990s. It is an impressive place to visit and to pray.

Kittens and babies

‘Pea toast’ and other sacrifices

Christopher GuntyMarch 7, 20193 min read
We fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and abstain from meat on the other Fridays of the season, but it’s not much of a sacrifice to splurge on lobster instead of beef as a Lenten meal.

A new year, a fresh start

Christopher GuntyDecember 31, 20183 min read
A lot of the typical resolutions have more to do with our exterior than our interior. I’d like to suggest a few resolutions that might improve your spirit and your mind.

Bishops stymied in response to abuse

Christopher GuntyDecember 5, 20183 min read
We all wanted some definitive answers by now. God willing, February and June – the next U.S. bishops meeting – will bring the remedies that victim-survivors of sexual abuse, and the whole church, desperately need.

Learning from our stumbles

Christopher GuntyOctober 5, 20184 min read
It’s time now for those of us in the church to funnel our anger and frustration into helping the victims and the church to heal.
