Join Fr.

By dividing the souls into ninety groups, based on their distinct sins or vices, in this case, drawn from the lessons of the catechism, we methodically in ...

The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ.

Can authentic Catholics be “feminists”? Pope St. John Paul repeatedly called for a new, truly Catholic feminism that would challenge the way the secular world approaches the rights and dignity of women in our time. This "Authentic Catholic Feminism" is rooted in Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and the lives of the Saints. Like the most popular forms of secular feminism, Authentic Catholic Feminism, upholds the equal value of women, but it proclaims that women also have distinctive gifts that ...

Join Most Rev. Joe Roesch, MI, as he reads from the journal of Blessed George Matulaitis-Matulewicz (1871-1927), the “Renovator” of the Congregation of Marian Fathers.

The information provided on the title page makes it clear: “This work is beneficial for people of all wal ...

Jesus said, "Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24).

The old expression was "imitating Christ"; now we say, "following Christ," walking in His footsteps, to become like Him. Join Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as he reads the spiritual classic, "The Imitation of Christ," from beginning to end. It was written in the 1400s, yet sounds like it was written yes ...

A holy and creative priest who attracted many vocations, Ven. Casimir translated a practical guide to the Rule of the Ten Evangelical ...
