Beyond the veil
CommentaryEaster

Beyond the veil

Scott P. RichertApril 20, 20254 min read
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.

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

The story of the melted bunnies

Rita BuettnerApril 15, 20253 min read

What are the 14 traditional Stations of the Cross?
