“KNEELING THEOLOGY”: Pope Francis Coins a Phrase to Describe Cardinal’s New Book

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

What an honor, to have the Pope fall asleep with your book in his hand! That’s apparently what happened with Cardinal Walter Kasper’s new work Mercy: The Essence of the Gospel and the Key to Christian Life. Pope Francis, addressing the extraordinary consistory of cardinals on the second day, veered from his prepared remarks to talk about what he was reading. He said: Yesterday, before falling asleep (though not in order to fall asleep!), I read-–I re-read Cardinal Kasper’s work,... Read more

Myers, the Archdiocese of Newark is remodeling a Hunterdon County house which is currently his weekend residence, and which will become his full-time home in retirement.

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

What is the value of a man? Benjamin Franklin quipped that from the neck down, a man was worth a couple of dollars a day; but from the neck up, he was worth anything he could think of. As donated organs and parts, a human body might be worth several million dollars. Broken down into its constituent chemicals, it’s worth only about $4.50. * * * * * Pope Francis has answered...

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

“The forgiveness of our sins is not something we can offer ourselves.” That was Pope Francis’ message to thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the General Audience on Wednesday, February 19. “…It is not the result of our efforts, but rather a gift from the Holy Spirit, which fills us from the wellspring of mercy and grace that surges endlessly from the open heart of Christ, crucified and risen again. … It reminds us that it is only...

Chagall’s Self-Portrait With a Clock: A Meditation on the Crucifixion

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

In 1947, modernist painter Marc Chagall painted a picture called Self-Portrait with a Clock. In it, the clock is centered at the top of the painting, like a blue bird in flight. The spread of its wings is reminiscent of the dove in Renaissance paintings of the Blessed Virgin. The hands are nearing three o’clock—the foreboding time of Christ’s death upon the cross. Beneath the clock the artist leans, his cheek resting on the head of a donkey. Is this... Read more
