The Magi, the Saints, and Us

Last updated on: January 6, 2013 at 3:43 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

On the Feast of the Epiphany, a Catholic priest in New York, Fr. George W. Rutler writes: In “The Journey of the Magi,” T. S. Eliot portrays them as utterly changed by what they saw and more than uncomfortable with their homeland — present-day Iran — when they went back: We returned to our places, these Kingdoms, But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation, With an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another... Read more

Hugh Jackman talks about his father: ‘I would recall conversations Dad and I had about his religious beliefs. He was an accountant at Price Waterhouse and I used to ask him whether his religion ever impacted on his work, whether it was ever an issue, or a subject for discussion. ‘He said it wasn’t, because religion, in his mind, was about deed rather than word. He said that talking about religion meant nothing, that practising religion through one’s actions meant... Read more

Anything Is Possible with God

Last updated on: January 5, 2013 at 11:50 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

It’s the message of Christmas and Easter, isn’t it? This comes from Saint Augustine via the Liturgy of the Hours today and drives that point home with some appropriate zeal: Beloved, our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal creator of all things, today became our Savior by being born of a mother. Of his own will he was born for us today, in time, so that he could lead us to his Father’s eternity. God became man so that man might... Read more

Are You a Catholic in New England Who Feels Called to Defend the Church in the Public Square?

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 8:07 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Read and pray about the upcoming Catholic Voices USA training in Massachusetts in March. An article in the Pilot newspaper in Boston explains more. Catholic Voices trains Catholics from all walks of life to make the case for the Church in media and other public venues. It seeks to be an apostolate of loving Christian communication. It is inspired by a model that got started in London and my goodness has it had an uplifting start in the U.S. over the... Read more

Saint on Tour

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 5:45 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Don Bosco’s relics are currently on tour in Britain. Why would anyone ever go to a relic tour? Why would anyone take relics on tour? Because his blessing arm is as powerful as it ever was. I wrote about an encounter with it in Washington, D.C., here. Read more

‘God Help Us If We Start Giving Government Officials the Right to Dictate Our Conscience’: Colson on Religious Liberty

Last updated on: December 31, 2012 at 4:14 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

As the Obama administration forces the likes of Hobby Lobby and Frank O’Brien into making choices Americans should not have to be making, a reminder from Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, commenting on the HHS Mandate on National Review Online before he died earlier this year: This is a huge religious-liberty question. It isn’t about contraceptives or even abortifacients. It’s about whether the United States government can limit the free exercise of religion by telling us which of our... Read more

Be Raised to the Most High

Last updated on: December 31, 2012 at 12:23 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

From Saint Augustine, via dailygospel.org: Christ was to come in our flesh, not another, neither angel nor ambassador, Christ himself was to come to save us (Is 35,4)… He was to be born in mortal flesh: a baby laid in a crib, wrapped in swaddling bands, suckled, who would grow up as the years passed by and would die cruelly at the end. These are so many testimonies of deep humility. Who is giving us these examples of humility? The... Read more

He’s fighting for religious liberty. His and all of ours. Don’t forget the businessman trying to live a life of integrity to his beliefs. The government shouldn’t be doing what it is doing to him: limiting his religious liberty. I write about him in my syndicated column this week. Read more
