The Modern Cross That Brings Us to Our Knees COMMUNIO - May 21, 2013 ... In the past, man strove for perfection, knowing it was unattainable in this reality. Guided by certain faith in a loving Creator, on whom he remained dependent, man reached for the stars, not expecting to touch them, but understanding that the act of reaching allowed him to become fully himself. Today, mankind strives for omnipotence, believing this obtainable. Consequently, man feels overwhelmingly alone - that everything depends on his own efforts. The delusion thus fostered afflicts us all. ...http://communio.stblogs.org/2013/05/the-modern-cross-that-brings-u.html

Thus, attention must be paid to the basic nature of the common good and what it ...http://catholicsensibility.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/pacem-in-terris-55-56-essentials-of-the-common-good/
Ascension PRINTED AS PREACHED - May 12, 2013 ... Christ can now enter into locked and sealed rooms, or walk through a crowd unrecognized. He is able to appear to various disciples at different locations. The forty days after his resurrection from the dead are marked with all these events. Today's celebration of Christ's Ascension, marks that historical event when the Lord, concluding his visible ministry among us, now enters into the realm of heaven, not as a spirit, but in the perfection of the human body. Because the ...http://printedaspreached.blogspot.com/2013/05/in-timeline-of-holy-scriptures-forty.html

The Church does not possess them of herself; it is Christ who, through the Holy Spirit, makes his Church one, holy, catholic, and apostolic, and it is he who calls her to realize each of these qualities. 812 Only faith can recognize that the Church possesses these properties from her divine source.

For me, Narnia 2013 helped to transform Lent from being punitively gloomy and impossibly worthy to being openly stimulating and colourfully creative.

However, you know that someone — more than a few people, really — are going to brush off the tests: Italians are Catholics, and we all know that Catholics can't do science.

The New York Times Gets It Wrong Again LA SALETTE JOURNEY - March 22, 2013 ... permitting slavery, abortion, euthanasia, divorce and "marriages" between persons of the same gender are immoral, and therefore unjust (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, q. 96, a.5)." Many homosexuals are now play-acting at getting married, much as a young boy might play at being a priest. We don't say that the child's play at being a priest really makes him a priest. Likewise, homosexuals might play at being married, but this doesn't make it so.
