Last updated on: October 21, 2012 at 1:54 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

A number of the news stories about the canonizations in Rome today make reference to sainthood — the naming of — as a “reward.” It is, of course, a tremendous thing. But it’s more for us — those of us still living on earth, struggling, trying to be holy — isn’t it? The real reward is eternal life. Accolades — even at Mass in Rome — pale in comparison. We are reminded of this call, understanding our lives as an... Read more

A Day in the Life of Faith

Last updated on: October 20, 2012 at 1:56 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

We are in the second week of a Year of Faith, and in the Magnificat Year of Faith Companion yesterday was an entry not to be overlooked. It was from the writings of Dorothy Day and in it she cuts to the core of what a Year of Faith, and our lives, ought to be about: remembering the Creed — what is it that we say we profess to believe when we say we are Catholic? — and living as...

‘I thought I was seeing the face of God.’

Last updated on: October 18, 2012 at 8:02 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In an interview with David Brody, Brit Hume talks about life after his son died: I considered myself a Christian. If someone had asked me if you’re a Christian, I would have said, ‘Of course I’m a Christian.’ But I think I was what you would call a nominal Christian. I went through my adult life with little thought day by day of God or Christ or any of the rest of it. I just didn’t think about it very... Read more

Two by Two, Never Alone

Last updated on: October 18, 2012 at 7:02 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

In his Angelus address, on August 2, 1987, Blessed John Paul II pointed out: Every Christian is, in fact, essentially an apostle.
