1. Courage! The devil entices us to give into our fears so that we can later be driven to despair by regrets. — FrSteveGrunow (@FrSteveGrunow) March 15, 2015 2. Origen, from the Liturgy of the Hours today: You are never to walk in darkness; the great and final day is not to enfold you in darkness. Do not let the night and mist of ignorance steal upon you.

Ten or So Catholic Things that Caught My Eye Today (March 12, 2015)

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 11:01 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

1. I love this. 24 Hours for the Lord. Of course Pope Francis would be begging us to go to Confession for his second anniversary. I imagine Fulton Sheen preaching on it as he did one hour for the Lord, his pitch for a daily holy hour. (Which I once talked about at a Young Republican meeting at Catholic University, when they invited me to speak on Ash Wednesday. Funny memory. It was well-received, too! You never know when you...

Thursday Pitch for Catholics

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 10:49 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Before leaving, take a picture of one of the Stations of the Cross. On Friday, send it to your friends/followers on Twitter and Facebook. Maybe email it to friends even. “I took a picture of one of the Stations of the Cross at the Catholic Church nearest my [home/office/etc.].” Maybe add something about... Read more

Ten Catholic Things that Caught My Eye Today (March 11, 2015)

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 12:15 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

1. Fr. Roger Landry: We Christians should be able to say, “What people has a God so near it as the Lord is to us in the holy Eucharist?” That we would be able to say with wonder and gratitude to be able to have the Lord with us, for example, in Eucharistic adoration, that we could come to spend time with him and have him, as Cardinal Ratzinger says, reveal the meaning of our existence to us, that we’re...

1. "And though every day a man lives may rightly be a day of repentance…" | #dailyeSpiration from St. John Chrysostom pic.twitter.com/58wjzMDzJR — Steubenville (@go2steubenville) March 7, 2015 2. Perpetua and Felicity are the women of the day today. Fr. Steve Grunow from Word on Fire writes: The Christian becomes most fully herself or himself inasmuch as there is a will to be conformed to Christ in suffering and death.

Ten Catholic Things that Caught My Eye Today (March 6, 2015)

Last updated on: March 6, 2015 at 5:24 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

1. From a homily today: It is marvelous, isn’t it, that even our sins cannot thwart God’s Providence and grace but are, somehow, turned to good when we repent and when we trust in God rather than our own devices and plans. Joseph did this, and so does the Lord and his holy martyrs. And so must we. Hence, the 14th-century English mystic, Julian of Norwich once said: “It was necessary that there should be sin; but all shall be... Read more

1. St. Ambrose (Exposition of the Christian faith): It cannot accurately be said of any created being that he is alone. How can anyone or anything that has fellowship in creation be separated from the rest, as though it were alone? 2. From Fr. Lawrence Lew: Each of us who turn to the homeless and poor with care and attention and mercy and love, who are not indifferent to their needs, do God’s work in helping them to learn to... Read more
