Finding God in Humble St. Joseph
  (OSV News) — St. Joseph does not draw attention to himself. He listens, and he acts, exemplifying what a disciple is: the one who hears “the word of God and acts on it” (Lk 8:21). As the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1, may we turn our attention… Read More

The Truth About How Early Christians Celebrated Easter
  (OSV News) – Like Christmas and other Catholic holy days, Easter is often misunderstood and mis-celebrated. Either its origins are said to be based on pagan holidays (a myth we will bust), or we treat it as a day to binge after a season of fasting. So, to fully embrace Easter, let’s look at how the early Christians understood… Read More

A Guide to the Devotions and Liturgies of Holy Week
  (OSV News) – What are you doing for Holy Week? It’s OK if your Holy Week list includes coloring eggs, cleaning and baking for Easter, shopping for new outfits, traveling to a relative’s home, or going on a spring vacation. There’s nothing wrong with secular Easter activities. But it’s important to keep in mind… Read More

Meditating on the Way of the Cross Is Not Only for Lent
(OSV News) – The Way of the Cross is one of the most personal, meditative, and graphic of any Catholic devotion. We spiritually join Jesus on the via dolorosa (“sorrowful way”) leading to the place of the skull, suffering with Him as He struggles to carry the cross on that first Good Friday. The crack of the… Read More

St. Joseph: A Humble Model for All Fathers
(OSV News) – One of St. Joseph’s most devoted followers, St. Peter Julian Eymard, recommends we use the March 19 feast of St. Joseph as an opportunity to seal a devotion to him, saying, “I consecrate myself to you, good St. Joseph, as my spiritual father; I choose you to rule my soul and to teach me the interior… Read More
FEATURE
Mary: The Perfect Lenten Companion
(OSV News) – As we’re firmly entrenched now in Lent, the season directs us to recall our own baptism and prepare for the celebration of the paschal mystery of the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ. It is a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, and it helps us grow closer to Jesus. In celebrating Lent and in… Read More

The History and Significance of Ash Wednesday
(OSV News) – Among the beautiful, meaningful and solemn ceremonies of the Catholic Church is the gathering of the faithful on Ash Wednesday. This special day begins our Lenten journey. It is the start of 40 days of prayer, penance, and almsgiving as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.… Read More

The Climb to Ash Wednesday
Being from northern Indiana, I’ve never lived on a hill. In fact, when I was younger, I often wondered why people bothered to build houses on hills. There were, after all, plenty of flat places that seemed to my 6- or 7-year-old mind much more amenable to construction. When I first began ministry, I lived… Read More
