Theologians and liturgists praise the power of rituals at the core of our faith. Rhythms of prayer and traditions of worship orient our lives toward God and set a solid foundation in an ever-shifting world.

Don’t underestimate yourself. God has need of the talents you have been given. Prayer shows us how to use and multiply our gifts.

This Lent holds a different kind of hope and promise.

St. Joseph’s example and intercession should encourage each of us to do our part in building up the household of the Church by a spirit of prayer, by a willing spirit of service, and by our witness to Christ.

Father Doyle fields questions about reason for celibacy in the priesthood and a blessing for non-sacramental marriages.

Our daily lives are different in so many ways, transformed suddenly almost a year ago and then evolving bit by bit every day.

In many ways, it feels we have been in one long Lent for almost a year now.

Being a teacher may not buy me the BMW of my dreams, but days like this make me feel like a millionaire.

Many years for Lent I take on too many goals and give up too many things. A few days into Lent, I invariably realize I have failed at everything I planned to give up and take on.

Perhaps it’s a blessing, then, that the church gives us Lent in midwinter. It’s a season of soul-searching; the gray skies give us no other choice but to turn inward and examine the dark spaces we’d rather not explore.
