The Goodness of Every Friday
I was baffled as to how I had lived 19 years as Catholic without knowing this. The priest had just given a homily on the Church’s requirement to do penance...
Questioning in Love
Sometimes I'm glad that, in the scriptures, the Apostles are so often confused. I'm comforted in their questioning and repeated asking. Even when Christ explains things again, they still don't...
