There is just something uniquely moving about seeing 9,000 energetic kids suddenly falling to their knees in silent adoration.
Bishop Robert Barron
A report from ‘Baby Bishop School’+
It was an extraordinarily vivid demonstration of the universality and catholicity of the Church born from the wounded side of Jesus and perduring across vast expanses of space and time.
Apologists, catechists, theologians: wake up!+
I do blame teachers, catechists, evangelists and academics within the Christian churches for not doing enough to keep our young people engaged.
The Cross of Jesus: God’s Awful Work of Love+
On that terrible cross, Jesus took upon himself the worst of humanity and swallowed it up in the ever greater divine mercy.
How Strange Is the Cross+
For the men and women of Jesus’ time, death by crucifixion was not only painful; it was brutally de-humanizing, humiliating and shaming.
Why ‘Last Days in the Desert’ is so boring+
To reduce Jesus to the human level alone is to render an altogether prosaic Jesus, which is precisely what we have in Last Days in the Desert.
Why you should read C.S. Lewis’ “The Great Divorce”+
What I especially appreciate is Lewis’ spot-on representation of how the soul clings desperately to what is actually killing it.
Brian Williams, Chris Matthews, and Letting the Fly Out of the Fly Bottle+
If we move our attention away from the priesthood and toward sainthood, we let the fly out of the fly bottle.
