‘Patience is the ground that hope grows in.’

Last updated on: May 14, 2012 at 5:12 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

“Get up every morning with the disposition to await God’s grace,” is the advice John Garvey, president of the Catholic University of America, sent graduates away from their commencement exercises on Saturday. Patience, he said “is not the disposition to wait for what you want.” “Ted Williams,” he explained, “was a patient hitter because he could take a few pitches to get one he liked. The same quality made him a great fisherman. Warren Buffett is a patient investor because... Read more

Saying Yes on God’s Time

Last updated on: May 14, 2012 at 1:50 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

The other night in Manhattan, an ecumenical crowd saluted Kevin Hasson, for his labors and vision. The founder of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, he saw the need to defend religious liberty before it was threatened in an above-the-fold kinda way. As those closest to him observe, he is a lesson in saying yes to God when God asks. It’s one thing to do what we discern God is asking of us when it’s financially or otherwise convenient, it’s...

Dulles, JPII, and the Law of the Gift

Last updated on: May 12, 2012 at 12:30 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

A flashback inspired by Cardinal Dolan at CUA: Avery Cardinal Dulles on truth, freedom, and the law of the Gift: We become most truly human in the measure in which we go out of ourselves and give ourselves for the sake of others. This “law of the gift,” as the Pope calls it, is inscribed deep in the dynamic structure of the person as fashioned in the image of the divine. He confirms this insight by quoting from Vatican II:...

Live the Law of the Gift

Last updated on: May 14, 2012 at 8:27 am By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Timothy Cardinal Dolan spoke at Catholic University of America’s commencement today, receiving the school’s presidential medal. At the same place where B16 spoke about the importance and Heart (think Sacred) of Catholic education in 2008, Cardinal Dolan emphasized the need for schools that stand apart from the culture, preparing students to engage as leaders of the New Evangelization: Just six days ago, Pope Benedict XVI, in addressing bishops from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, spoke warmly of Catholic education...

Bristol Palin

Last updated on: May 11, 2012 at 1:03 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

wrote a sensible blog post, and she’s getting slammed from everyone who cares to have an opinion on this young woman and her mistakes. Just because you fail to live up to your standards doesn’t mean you have to throw them out the window. We get up again and try again, and sharing a little hard-earned wisdom isn’t a crime. It’s still a free country. Even for a Palin. Read more

Chicago’s Finest

Last updated on: May 11, 2012 at 12:57 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

I am delighted by the news that Fr. Robert Barron will be the rector-president of Mundelein Seminary/University of St. Mary of the Lake, outside Chicago. Fr. Barron is responsible for the top-notch Catholicism series that aired, partially, on PBS this fall. The message of this appointment is (at least to this non-seminarista): The New Evangelization is about full-on, faithful, engagement with the culture. He’s a fatherly catechist, a rigorous, compassionate priest, with a humble self-confidence in the Truth he has... Read more

Paul Ryan and the Hour of the Laity

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 4:49 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

As you know, Paul Ryan has been subject to the criticisms of a minority of Catholic bishops, questioning his commitment to Catholic social teaching in regard to budget policy-making. (George Weigel has addressed this here.) On EWTN’s The World Over last night, Raymond Arroyo asked Congressman Ryan’s bishop about his budget. Bishop Robert Morlino of the diocese of Madison, Wisconsin, spoke as a shepherd, encouraging discerning policy-making from Ryan and all Catholics in public life. Pointing out “I don’t think...
