Msgr. Charles Pope has a moving reflection on the power of God to transform curses into blessings.

His blood be on us and on our children! Never a truer word was spoken. And by it we are saved.
Holy Week Observances

As we enter into the observances for Holy Week, I’m wondering what you look forward to most? There are so many facets to the Easter Triduum!

One crazy Holy Week during my college years I gave up eating everything... READ MORE

Speaking of things being different with boys, take a look at what two young friends of mine have been up to.
Behold: Christ’s Passion, Death & Resurrection in Lego.
According to their mom, it took Dan & Peter Bernetsky (16 & 14) about 30 hours spread over several weeks to assemble, light, shoot, gather scripture verses and edit the whole thing. They wanted to share the Gospel with their younger siblings... READ MORE
