Every time I go to the grocery store, I am caught off guard when the checker asks me if I want my milk in a bag. I had no problem at all choosing which car to buy; I decided the moment I walked into the front door of this house that this would be our new home and, five years later, I’ve never second-guessed that decision. Yet when it comes to bagged vs.
The Church should not be the ones on the defensive here. We’re on the offensive when it comes to women’s health, education, and welfare, here at home, and throughout the world. We hardly need lectures on this issue from senators. We just want to be left alone to live out the imperatives of our faith to serve, teach, heal, feed...

Long ago, when I was a Washington, D.C., latchkey kid (before the term was coined), my mother would leave a couple of dollars and a list for me to go to the store after school. I'd walk a couple blocks down New Hampshire Avenue to the corner store, load a basket...

I'm sorry, WHO do you say that I am?
It’s time to come clean: I have no idea who you are. Yes, you, the one I’ve been corresponding with for several months. You, the one I see four times a day, five days a week.

The first non-Englishman to succeed to the chair of St Augustine since the Reformation...
26-year-old New Jersey native Maura Byrne suffered from 15 years of physical and sexual abuse, an eating disorder and serious self-image issues. Maura revealed to me on Christopher Closeup that her eating disorder began because her life was spinning out of control. The amount of food she chose to eat, or not eat...
This Lent, why not be more faithful at work?
My head was spinning. There I was, again, driving down the highway after a long day’s work. It was after nine o’clock at night, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of hopelessness. No matter how hard I tried, it seemed that I wasn’t spending enough time at work – or at home – to be successful. Of course...

God the Father loved the world, but why did He not give us Himself together with His Son?
The love of God is proved in this, that while we were yet sinners he sent his only Son to die in our behalf. But we also know that a man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friend.
