Where Are the Women? Taking Us to the Eucharist.

Last updated on: March 30, 2012 at 6:02 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Since he is most noticed these days at congressional hearings, I thought you would enjoy Bishop William Lori discussing Mary and the Eucharist: Who better to help us grow in our understanding and love of the Eucharist than Mary, the Mother of our Lord and “the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit” (Rosary of the Virgin Mary, 16)? Although the Blessed Virgin Mary was not present at the Last Supper, she remains for all time “The Woman of the Eucharist,” as... Read more

Winning Souls with Hebrews

Last updated on: March 30, 2012 at 6:10 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

This is about the moment during some Lents where I have been known to panic. Where has the liturgical season gone? If you are in that boat this year, as you read this, be still and make this final week rich, walking with Christ with a new dedication. One place to start: If you have not already, meditate on the Pope Benedict’s Lenten message, which focuses on Heb 10:24): “Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love... Read more

Winning Souls with Cardinal Dolan

Last updated on: March 30, 2012 at 5:09 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

What’s Holy Week about? Cardinal Dolan takes a stab at in a web video: “Passing over.” “Put to death selfishness,” Cardinal Dolan urges. “Put to death falsehood. Put to death lies. Put to death sin.” (Gratuitous photo from my Lenten trip to the Holy Land.) And “pass over” with Christ “to renewal and freedom and grace and mercy and love and virtue and goodness.” That takes us right to the heart of his death and Resurrection, doesn’t it? And ours.

Did You Read Magnificat Last Sunday? It May Just Draw You to Christ.

Last updated on: March 30, 2012 at 6:52 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

This one comes from the late British poet Caryll Houselander: Look at this cross, so much bigger than the man whose body will be stretched to fit it. So much higher than the height of the man who will be lifted up above the earth on it and who, being lifted up, will draw all people to himself. Christ receives it with joy because he knows that this is the dead weight that must have crushed humankind had he... Read more

What’s Weird in a Wildly Weird World

Last updated on: March 28, 2012 at 9:50 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Emily Stimpson’s is a beautiful voice of the New Evangelization. Her recent book, The Catholic Girl’s Survival Guide for the Single Years: The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Sane and Happy While Waiting for Mr. Right, is bravely honest, a great help to her and younger generations. (I chatted with her about it here.) This week she wrote about the “glories” of being “weird.” Not to get somewhat Emily Dickinson on you, but are you “weird” too? Emily writes: Thanks to the New...

‘All Hands on Deck’ for the New Evangelization

Last updated on: March 27, 2012 at 4:37 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

An editorial in the new issue of The Anchor, the diocesan paper of Fall River, Mass., succinctly describes the catechetical challenge of our time: “Catholics need to know the truth announced by Christ more deeply and live it more whole-heartedly if we’re ever going to bring the Gospel credibly as a counter-proposal to those dominated by secularistic mindsets and lifestyles.” The whole editorial is worth reading — especially the “veteran vaticanista” paragraph (you don’t have to be one to read it).

Still Alive, for Now!

Last updated on: March 25, 2012 at 3:41 pm By Kathryn Jean Lopez

My birthday was this past week and I can’t help but obsess a little about how grateful I am to be alive. My friend Andrew Breitbart dying this month no doubt has something to do with it. Ditto my friend Dorothy McCartney, longtime Bill Buckley/National Review researcher, during the summer. The gift I got for my birthday this year, which I fervently pray I make great use of, is a sense of urgency. Not the kind of urgency that stresses... Read more
