As Catholics, we cannot remain on the sidelines when confronted with such a clear threat to human life. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE FROM OHIOCATHCONF.ORG ..read more

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”  Elisabeth Kabler-Ross When we think of beautiful people we generally think of physical beauty, a beautiful young girl, a smiling baby, a handsome athletic man. Beauty, as defined by Hollywood, the cosmetics companies, and clothing lines, are ..read more

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Retired Pope Benedict XVI, who had an impressive record as a teacher and defender of the basics of Catholic faith, is likely to go down in history books as the first pope in almost 600 years to resign. He died Dec. 31 at the age of 95, nearly 10 years after leaving the papacy to retire to what he said would be a life of prayer and study. Pope Francis was scheduled to celebrate his predecessor’s funeral Mass Jan. 5 in St. Peter’s Square. Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office, said the funeral rites would be simple in keeping with the wishes of the late pope. As ..read more

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. After weeks of shopping, hanging ornaments, planning meals, and making arrangements for flights home, Christmas is finally here. The pressure, anxiety, and worry will soon be over. It’s so easy to get so caught up in the hoopla and anticipation that we overlook the ..read more

In this Fourth Week of Advent, our final days of preparation before Christmas, we ask Christ to forgive us for our sins and, through His grace, to create us anew when He comes. This week is also a time to recollect, to reflect on our Advent journey. If we have let the hustle and bustle of the season get in the way of our spiritual preparations for Christmas, we have one last chance to refocus—and the light of the candles on the Advent wreath can be a symbol of our focus, as well as a symbol of the light of Christ. source:  http://catholicism.about.com/od/prayers/qt/Adv_Wreath_W4.htm In ..read more

As we begin the  Third Week of Advent,  we anticipate  Christmas, and so  we ask Christ to grant us His grace that we might be prepared for welcoming His Birth. Gaudete Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, marks a traditional turning point in this period of preparation, and we see it visually in the Advent wreath. Not only do we light more candles than we leave unlit for the first time in Advent ”thus providing more light, symbolizing the light of Christ” but if our Advent wreath has a rose or pink candle, that’s the one that we light this week. The purple candles of the fir ..read more

  There is an old adage that we all have heard: “Actions speak louder than words.” St. Francis of Assisi said it this way: “Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if you must.” Ralph Waldo Emerson made the same point in different words: “Your actions speak so loudly that I can hardly hear what you are saying.” John the Baptist knew the value of action. When his disciples came to Jesus to ask if he was the one for whom they had been waiting, the promised Messiah, Jesus did not say yes or no. Instead he said: “Tell John that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hea ..read more
