Farmoon 3.5 Quart Clear Storage Bin, Small Plastic Stackable Box
Jesus tells us to “Be not afraid” again and again in the Gospels — but this Sunday, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, he says things calculated to frighten us. That is because in his first coming to earth, he wanted to stress that we can come closer to God than we ever thought possible...
Sifting the sands of ‘Dune’...
A work like Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (or Dune: Part One) is almost two movies, offering radically different experiences (or ranges of experiences) to two audiences: those familiar with the universe of Frank Herbert’s landmark science-fiction novels and those coming to the film, as I did, more or less cold.
Liquefied bodies? Archbishop of Dubuque encourages strange alternative burial methods...
Worldwide, two people die every second. Here in the U.S., about 2.5 million die every year. And all those bodies take up a lot of space! That’s the concern addressed by Archbishop Michael Jackels of Dubuque, Iowa, in an Oct. 20 message to the faithful of the archdiocese. Burial practices, the archbishop notes, are a significant environmental issue...

The Benedictines have more saints than any other order — and this Saturday is their feast day...
November 13th is the feast of All Benedictine Saints. The Benedictines have more Saints and Doctors of the Church than any other order, largely because their history stretches back to the 6th century. The number of saints begins to thin out in the latter part of the Middle Ages, as the emphasis shifts to more active orders, and then dries up almost altogether in the modern period, apart from the martyrs of the Reformation and French Revolution.

Most of us have experienced scruples in our spiritual life and some of us have found them spiritually crippling. St. Ignatius of Loyola defines scruple as “when I freely decide that that is sin which is not sin.” The scrupulous conscience sees sin where there is none. We should distinguish this from a sensitive or tender conscience...
A message from Omaha Beach...
I know a woman who visited the famous Omaha Beach, where the D-Day invasion occurred, and she met a veteran there she didn’t expect to encounter. He’d been a Nazi soldier at D-Day. And he shared with her the terror that he felt seeing a massive fleet of ships approach the beach. And when the Allies had gotten the upper hand, he had one bullet left in his gun and he thought, “This is the end.”
New film tells the story of C.S. Lewis, the ‘most reluctant convert’...
Acclaimed theater actor McLean plays the middle-aged Lewis, who looks back on the events that began his journey from vigorous debunker of Christianity to arguably the most influential Christian writer of the 20th century. Nicholas Ralph, star of the PBS Masterpiece hit All Creatures Great and Small, plays Lewis as a young man who has a difficult relationship with his father before going off to the trenches in the Great War...

A few weeks ago a report came out from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati about the new plan to “re-structure” the archdiocese. The short version is that “the restructuring process will combine the archdiocese’s 208 parishes into 60 “families of parishes...The goal, church officials say, is to eventually unite the 60 new parish families into single parishes.”
The Word of the Lord remains forever! A homily for the 33rd Sunday of the Year...
As winter approaches and the end of the liturgical year draws near, we ponder the passing quality of this world and the fading of its glories. Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel reading must surely have shocked, even horrified, His apostles. Let’s look at His stunning words and seek to apply them in our own life.

7 things to do in these final weeks of the Year of St. Joseph...
The Year of St. Joseph began with the apostolic letter of Pope Francis on Dec. 8, 2020, and ends in a few short weeks on Dec. 8, 2021. It’s almost hard to believe it’s been a full year already, in light of all the other events going on throughout the world. We have certainly been in desperate need of a fatherly saint to emulate, and to intercede for the needs of our challenging times.
“It’s not a happy experience” — Pro-abortion Sen. Dick Durbin says he’s been banned from receiving Communion in his home diocese for 17 years...
A week after President Biden said that Pope Francis told him he was a “good Catholic” and should “keep receiving Communion,” and just days before the U.S. bishops meet to discuss the draft document on Eucharistic coherence, America Media published a strange interview with Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, the powerful chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
4 key clarifications about bishops, public officials, and Holy Communion...
As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops prepares to meet in Baltimore, misconceptions about a proposed conference statement on the Eucharistic vitality and integrity of the Church in America abound. The confusions originating from online Catholic sources and social media have been exacerbated by a mainstream press that has consistently misrepresented what the bishops are doing...
Today is the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery...
Exactly 100 years ago, on Nov. 11, 1921, thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and ordinary citizens joined President Warren G. Harding and scores of dignitaries from throughout the United States and worldwide at Arlington National Cemetery for the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The Kalaam cosmological argument is a popular argument for God’s existence. But before you use it, here are some words of caution...
The Kalaam Cosmological argument is one of the more popular arguments for God’s existence. In essence, it states (1) that anything that has a beginning must have a cause, (2) that the universe has a beginning, and so (3) the universe must have a cause, which is God. There have been various attempts to show philosophically that the universe has a beginning, but these arguments don’t work.
