Wis 11:22-12:2; 2Thes 1:11-2:2; Lk 19:1-10 I was speaking recently to a devout Catholic who was going through a very difficult time in her life. She was experiencing a string of painful experiences one after another. When I invited her to hold on to her faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, she replied, “I have […]

The first time I ever walked into the Center for Catholic Studies here in Minnesota, I remember thinking, “I’d love to get a job here one day.” Two years later, after I’d finished my graduate degree, that’s exactly what happened.

Something new struck me in my travels throughout the United States and the world this year. In the churches I visited, I discovered saints unknown to me, holding Eucharistic images like a monstrance or a ciborium. I would snap a picture and if there was no identifying information, I would ask someone, “Who is that […]

For the vast majority of us Roman Catholics the last time that we were actually taught or instructed on how to receive Holy Communion was when we were eight-years-old in second grade. Sometimes you’ve developed bad habits, sometimes we’ve lost the intentionality of what we’re doing, and it’s good to be reminded. So, some basic […]
The Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our lives, as St. John Paul II often reminded the world. In these next few years of Eucharistic Revival, it would be good to look to the example of the saints to learn about their devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, and how we can best emulate […]

The Eucharist is God’s remedy for our selfishness today. “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes.” Two things are clear about Jesus from the episode of the multiplication of the loaves in Luke’s Gospel account. First, Jesus is truly generous. He […]

“This is My Body, this is My Blood” (Mark 14:22-24). Could there be any better words to hear on Corpus Christi Sunday? The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus.
