But in order for our nation to truly prosper in regard to human dignity, we must examine the sanctity of life from a holistic, or Whole Life approach. In this worldview, women\u2019s rights are protected and catered to, but so are the lives of the unborn. A holistic approach would also bring to light the underlying economic issues that contribute to abortion\u2014such as underpaid or unpaid maternity leave, as well as lower wages in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>The Church can be a powerful witness when it works together in unity to tackle the life issues of the age and does not allow politics to dictate its works of mercy.

Wade; we also adamantly reject stigmatizing, criminalizing, judging or shaming women who have had abortions or are considering them.\u00a0 Too often isolated and desperate, women have felt they had no other choice.\u00a0 They need and deserve spiritual, emotional, and material support from the Church and from society.<\/p>\n<p>In the Archdiocese of Boston, we have sought, through Project Rachel and Pregnancy Help, to support women facing a crisis pregnancy and women whose lives have been impacted by an abortion.\u00a0 In addition, the Church offers the Lord\u2019s boundless mercy and healing to those suffering from the spiritual harms of abortion.\u00a0 In the face of recent statistics indicating an increase in abortions, our pastoral and social support for women will continue, will be welcoming, and will be available to all who need them.<br>\nCardinal Sean O\u2019Malley <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cardinalseansblog.org\/2022\/06\/24\/a-day-many-thought-would-never-come\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">A day many thought would never come<\/a> (June 24, 2022)<a href=\"http:\/\/cardinalseansblog.org\/2022\/06\/24\/a-day-many-thought-would-never-come\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cardinal Se\u00e1n\u2019s Blog (cardinalseansblog.org)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"entry-title fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"35\" data-lineheight=\"normal\">Carmelite Today<\/h1>\n<p class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"28px\">A Blog about Ancient Insights on Modern Living<\/p>\n<p data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"28px\">The schedule in our monasteries includes an activity called the hour of recreation, in which the community gathers in a common room to talk together. It typically follows the evening hour of mental (silent) prayer, and the two share a lot in common. Both require the same attentiveness of heart, both require patient perseverance to gain their reward, and in both that reward is an experience of getting to know the other and being known by them<\/p>\n<p data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"28px\">Recreation is a time set aside for the whole community to gather together for conversation, storytelling, and humor. It\u2019s not a diversion from our life of prayer, but a necessary part of it. St. Teresa-Benedicta was a welcome presence at her community recreations. Her novice mistress tells us \u201cShe was a first rate storyteller and could turn even the most trivial incident into a thrilling adventure\u201d (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icspublications.org\/products\/edith-stein-the-life-of-a-philosopher-and-carmelite\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Edith Stein: Life of a Philosopher and Carmelite<\/a><\/em>, pg. 137). St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se made the community laugh with her rare talent for impersonations (if you can imagine that). No doubt she saw her participation during the hour of recreation as an essential part of living her little way, practicing virtues that go largely unnoticed and in ordinary settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"27px\"><a title=\"Posts by Br.

It requires a level of selflessness most people are incapable of sustaining on their own. God\u2019s grace fills in the cracks. Your spouse cannot fill you. That\u2019s God\u2019s role in your life.Family members and friends will pass away. Jobs will be won and lost. You will make your home in different places, and be called to uproot yourselves and start anew. Children will be born and grow up. Sickness and death will come for each of you. Joys and hardships will unfold. You will endure all of this \u2013 and more \u2013 together.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"UserDescription\">\n<p>Your marriage is not just about how you feel in this moment. In fact, much of marriage is not how we \u201cfeel\u201d at all. It\u2019s about what we know is true. Feelings are fleeting; they turn on a dime.<\/p>\n<p>The earthly life and the spiritual life are a series of peaks and valleys, and the landscape is ever-changing.\u00a0There is one unchanging element in your marriage. Cling to that. It is God.<\/p>\n<p>When you join yourself to another in Holy Matrimony, you become a stepping stone to God. Consider it your job to get your spouse to heaven. Work for it, pray for it, sacrifice for it, and embrace it. There is no greater way to show your love than to work for the sanctification of your beloved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"UserDescription\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholiccompany.com\/magazine\/tag\/Author:Cheryl%20Hadley\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cheryl Hadley<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholiccompany.com\/magazine\/the-marriage-of-all-nothing\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Marriage of All &amp; Nothing \u2013<\/a>(Jun 14, 2022)<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholiccompany.com\/magazine\/the-marriage-of-all-nothing\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u00a0The Catholic Company\u00ae<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Catholic Culture<\/h2>\n<p>When a beloved son or daughter, brother, sister, friend, parent or even spouse has fallen away from Christ and the Church, we obviously still love them, and just as obviously we cannot be haranguing them constantly when we have such ample evidence that they are not open to our pleading or our logic. I would argue that we should try to be sensitive to fresh opportunities, but in my own experience, these are very few and far between. It is precisely here that we must realize that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit love our family member or friend far more than we do, and so we are wise to trust in the workings of Divine grace and to seek to maximize the operations of that grace. Our Lord has given us the power to do this through prayer and sacrifice. And yet it has always astonished me how few people seem to have recourse to constant prayer, let alone sacrifice, when they are in one of these situations which makes it difficult to speak effectively.<br>\n<strong>Dr. Jeff Mirus<\/strong> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/for-fallen-away-line-between-charity-and-cowardice\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">For the fallen away: The line between charity and cowardice<\/a> (Jun 21, 2022)<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/for-fallen-away-line-between-charity-and-cowardice\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Catholic Culture<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"image-w-text--card-copy\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Catholic Digest<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Throughout history, the Church has been at the forefront of \u201cfood movements.\u201d Monks began brewing beer in the Middle Ages for their own consumption and then sold it to the public.

The Lord called me to a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis didn\u2019t need to create a monastery, as the Benedictines and Augustinians had done. He didn\u2019t want us to be enclosed monks.

The importance of that timelessness is not to \u201cprove\u201d anything but, more than anything else, to give hope. You, there \u2013 you are not alone in your weakness, pain, suffering and fears. It\u2019s called being human and in Christ, no matter who you are, when or where you live or what the specifics of your situation are, in him and his Body, the Church, you will find comfort, healing, hope and answers.<\/p>\n<p>In other painfully well-worn words, we don\u2019t have to reinvent the wheel every generation.

So on a recent visit to see my parents, both now into their eighties, I found myself listening with unexpected fondness as they took up the old prayer before dinner one night.

Heaven shines radiantly around us; it would blind us if only we could see it. But dawn breaks for us as we grow more sensitive to the light. As we begin to love God, we alter the very atmosphere through which we look. It cannot happen immediately. Therefore, let the day always be a beginning\u2014one continuous beginning. Let us live in infinite expectation. And slowly, gently, as we move between the moments, driven on by that subtle restlessness of the soul, we will make our exodus.

Whenever you need anyone, Our Lord is there with the spiritual tea of his love for you to sip.<br>\nTed Rick, Whenever You Need Anybody,August 31, 2020 (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hhxFmNAkDvc\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Eccumentical Matters)<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Epic Pew<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Catholic holiness through humor | Official account for <\/span><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 decorated-link\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eB36jYDtt5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-hiw28u r-qvk6io r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">http:\/\/<\/span>EpicPew.com<\/a><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\"> a service of <\/span><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 decorated-link\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SophiaInsPress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@SophiaInsPress<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1awozwy r-18u37iz r-dnmrzs\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">One of the most fascinating discoveries in the studies of the Eucharist is the type of tissue.

Instead, our desire for one another has a reciprocal quality. Part of my desire for you includes a desire for you to want me.

And where the world tramples over goodness, both moral and spiritual, we remain steadfast in the good and do not capitulate in our own lives to its attenuation through a million bourgeois paper cuts. It means a simplicity of life, and the living out of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. \u00a0It means, as Dorothy Day taught, that we live out with earnest seriousness, The Sermon on the Mount<\/p>\n<p>But there is also something else, something critical, something absolutely indispensable. \u00a0<strong>We must be educated and intelligent<\/strong>. \u00a0Learn things damn it. \u00a0Become voraciously interested in all kinds of things. \u00a0Read. \u00a0Converse with others outside of your balkanized box of discourse. \u00a0Pray. \u00a0Meditate. \u00a0Contemplate. Read some more. Read still more. \u00a0Be brutally honest with yourself in an act of prayerful contemplation over your own intellect and its ideas. \u00a0Think deeply about why it is you most truly think as you do and not about what it is you are \u201csupposed\u201d to think. \u00a0And do not submerge doubts but entertain them. Not in the sense of allowing them to destroy your faith. But in the sense that you take those doubts to dinner with you and plumb their depths. \u00a0Do not hide. Seek. \u00a0Think doubts through to the other end until the doubt becomes a catalyst for an even deeper faith. \u00a0Think deeply about why other people think as they do. \u00a0And listen to them first, talk to them second. \u00a0And when they speak do not be thinking about how to respond to them before they have even finished speaking. Nobody is ever wholly evil and nobody is ever wholly our enemy. \u00a0There is a freshness deep down things and that includes everyone we meet. \u00a0Love the people you meet. \u00a0Know them. \u00a0Because the greatest\u00a0<em>apologia<\/em>\u00a0of all is friendship.<br>\nLarry Chapp,<a href=\"https:\/\/gaudiumetspes22.com\/blog\/flipping-the-script-the-false-immanence-of-modernity\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Flipping the Script: The False Immanence of Modernity |<\/a>(June 29, 2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/gaudiumetspes22.com\/blog\/flipping-the-script-the-false-immanence-of-modernity\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gaudium et Spes 22<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">God in All Things<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Catholic, former Jesuit, lover of Ignatian spirituality, finding God in all things,<br>\nand author of God Moments: Unexpected Encounters in the Ordinary.

Jesus is the ultimate new beginning who gives to us a new way of being human, a new way of understanding God\u2019s faithfulness, and a kingdom that is all about hope. But it\u2019s an \u201cupside down\u201d kingdom: We must die to self in order to find ourselves. We must become blind in order to see. We must carry our cross to find liberation. And even physical death itself gives way to eternal life. It\u2019s a kingdom that finds its power in love, not violence.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus was offering restoration to practically everyone he encountered, whether through a call to follow him into a new life, a physical healing that restored people again to their communities, or forgiveness that restored their own sense of worth and belovedness.<br>\nAndy Otto, <a href=\"https:\/\/godinallthings.com\/2021\/01\/25\/making-idols-of-human-institutions\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Making Idols of Human Institutions\u00a0 <\/a>(June 21, 2021) <a href=\"https:\/\/godinallthings.com\/2021\/01\/25\/making-idols-of-human-institutions\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">God In All Things<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">(A) Good Story is Hard to Find<\/h2>\n<p>Julie and Scott infuriate the local Bishop, who suggests they go on a road trip.

The theory that time actually passes relative to the speed of the individual, the reality that everything is composed of various conglomerations of subatomic particles, the infinite vastness and continual expansion of the entire universe \u2014 all these theories boggle the mind. It\u2019s hard to wrap your brain around and truly understand the possibility of some of these theories.<\/p>\n<p>It can seem paradoxical to say that suffering and love coexist, just as it can seem paradoxical to say that one God can exist as three Persons. That paradox reveals not a contradiction but a love that is unable to be stopped, a love that brings hope to whoever is willing to accept it-<strong>Trinity Sunday<\/strong> \u2013 June 12, 2022<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that faith in the Eucharist in our world isn\u2019t the strongest. Our own American church is taking great steps in the next three years to revive that faith \u2014 not by disseminating detailed arguments or proofs, but by inviting people to take a step of faith, to believe that just maybe, He can fill that hunger of your heart.

So it might seem fitting that the second reading for Mass today is all about freedom. Freedom is much more than doing whatever I want. Freedom is living the way I was created to live.

This goes for both the good and what we may sometimes perceive to be the bad events in our lives.

I started thinking about writing a book called\u00a0<em>Jimmy Akin\u2019s Book of the Weird<\/em>, which would look at things like UFOs, Bigfoot, and the Kennedy Assassination and evaluate them from the perspectives of faith and reason. Because of various factors at the time, that didn\u2019t come together, but it was the core concept of what became\u00a0<em>Mysterious World<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>By 2018, I had gotten into podcasting and been invited to join the board of the StarQuest network. The network was at a turning point at the time, and we had some big decisions to make if we were going to continue podcasting. Among other things, we needed ideas for new podcasts that would be popular and that would allow us to fulfill our mission of evangelizing the culture. I mentioned the idea of doing one that looked at mysteries from the faith and reason perspectives.

Its one of my favorite things to do as a priest \u2013 to welcome children into the Church and point out where Jesus is, how to pray, and what the liturgy is all about.<\/p>\n<p>I began by speaking of the Church in 3 ways:\u00a0<strong>the world of darkness (<\/strong>the narthex);\u00a0<strong>the redeemed world (<\/strong>the nave); and the\u00a0<strong>world to come (<\/strong>the sanctuary). When speaking about the world of darkness, I pointed out that the Baptism ritual often begins at the back of the Church. There we find the holy water fonts, where we remind ourselves of our baptism. I stressed that its in the darkness that Christ comes to greet us, to save us. When I say these things, I tend to have personal experiences in the back of my mind.<br>\n<a class=\"byline-profile-link decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/profile\/61327256-fr-chris-pietraszko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fr.

The artist, Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner, was inspired by the story of the man\u2019s grandfather, Wolfgang Langenmantel, a German nobleman, and his wife Sophie. The couple\u2019s lives were falling apart and they were on the verge of separation. In an effort to save their marriage, Wolfgang decided to get advice from a Jesuit priest, Father Rem, who lived in a monastery near Augsburg, Germany. They prayed together, raising up to Our Lady \u201cthe bond of marriage,\u201d praying that \u201call knots be loosed and resolved.\u201d After several meetings and many prayers to Our Lady, Wolfgang and Sophie reunited.<\/p>\n<p>The painting portrays Mary dressed in a blue mantle, with twelve stars above her head, standing on the serpent, crushing evil and untying the knots in a long ribbon, working together with the Holy Spirit and the angels. The idea of Mary undoing the knots is believed to have been inspired by the meditation of St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyon:\u00a0<em>\u201cEve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience, undid it.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Mary is seen as one who intercedes for us to her Son, helping us to let go of what binds us, what ties us to this world, what causes discord, violence and despair, freeing us from the struggles and the \u201cknots\u201d of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>While studying in Germany in the 1980\u2019s, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, saw the image of Mary, Undoer of Knots and brought it back to Argentina, promoting devotion to Our Lady. He had this same image engraved on a chalice that he presented to Pope Benedict XVI.<\/p>\n<p><em>Our Lady Undoer of Knots, pray for us! \u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/novenaprayer.com\/2021\/09\/19\/mary-undoer-of-knots-novena-2\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mary Undoer of Knots Novena \u2013 NOVENA PRAYER<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21585 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/1316\/2020\/08\/Mary-Undoer-of-Knots-164x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">One Peter Five<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A journal of Catholic theology, culture, and tradition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Last night, I complained (on social media; where else?) about how we published a fantastic, moving, uplifting story about an incredible saint \u2014 St. Marianne Cope \u2014 who took the awful lives of lepers and turned them into something full of beauty and wonder, but that it only had 27 shares.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, my snarky post about Cardinal Wuerl getting millions of dollars in retirement hit 500 shares right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, my complaining seemed to have done some good for once. The St. Marianne Cope piece now has over 220 shares and counting, whereas the Wuerl piece is stuck right where it was.<\/p>\n<p>But it had me up last night thinking about all of this stuff. About the fact that since I started trying to do a lot more St. Marianne Cope-type pieces and fewer Wuerl-type pieces, traffic on this website has dropped faster than Gavin Newsome\u2019s approval rating. Whereas in 2018, at the height of all the Vigano revelations, we were getting somewhere between 25-30K pageviews a day, lately, we\u2019re at fewer than 10K. In fact, we haven\u2019t broken the 10K barrier in the past 30 days. Not even once. There could be several reasons for this, but traffic metrics over time tend to be a semi-reliable indicator about whether the content you\u2019re producing is what your audience wants to consume.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In theory, we want to know about the good stuff. The stuff that\u2019s positive and motivating and helps us to live better, more virtuous lives.

We say the Nicene Creed at Sunday Mass without knowing the mind-bending subtleties of Trinitarian theology. Few of us have the gifts or the time to work it all out. We trust the Church knows what she\u2019s doing even if we don\u2019t. She\u2019ll work out how it all applies to our life.<\/p>\n<p>Following Jesus can mean being taken where you don\u2019t want to go. It is more active and open-ended, and possibly very costly, requiring trust you don\u2019t always want to give.

As he muses about this most hilarious hole in religious thinking, Jesus appears outside the vampire\u2019s window, as He was wont to do back in the 1820s, which is obviously when this is taking place. Jesus stands in direct sunlight and asks if the vampire\u2019s version of eternal life allows him to do the same, to which the vampire must, sadly, admit that it does not. It also doesn\u2019t allow him to (among other things) cross running water, enter consecrated ground, overcome the humiliation of young adult novels featuring his ilk, or make up his mind about what his powers and weaknesses actually are, but fortunately for him, Jesus decides not to rub it in.<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/287509058_3226256647622573_6470606499050167052_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=730e14&amp;_nc_ohc=UqP8CAxZ61QAX8JbwcL&amp;tn=wbMjTn4XVsIgS85r&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&amp;oh=00_AT-zCfDFhDgebiSDCd2Q8wbRJvFtAVPUT7JOBmlmMxb-JA&amp;oe=62B9E1B5\" alt=\"May be a cartoon of text that says 'TOMICS by Tom Gould &quot;WHOEVER EATS MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD HAS ETERNAL LIFE.&quot; PFF!

He wrote, along with his wife, Lenora, many popular collections of myths and fairy tales, such as the color-coded\u00a0<em>Fairy Book<\/em>\u00a0series.\u00a0<strong>J.R.R. Tolkien<\/strong>\u00a0was highly influenced by Lang\u2019s collections as a child, as well as an adult. In fact, his famous essay,\u00a0<em><strong>On Fairy Stories<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0was originally designed to be part of a\u00a0<strong>series of lectures about Andrew Lang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While Andrew Lang was not a practicing Christian, he decided to publish a book on\u00a0<em>Saints and Heroes<\/em> that featured many medieval myths and legends about Catholic saints. It was designed, like many of his books, to be read aloud, specifically to children. While some of the language used can be difficult for the modern reader, it still retains its value as a popular read aloud book, especially among homeschool families. At the same time, Tolkien would argue that these stories are not to be reserved to children but should be enjoyed by adults of every age.
