Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

TUESDAY HOMILY: Building and Rebuilding the Church

Image of In the Gospel, Jesus speaks about the Temple He seeks to build as a family. When Jesus was told that his Mother and relatives were outside the crowded house where he was teaching and healing wishing to see him, Jesus used it as an opportunity to say that he can come from heaven to earth to found a family. That family would be characterized by particular behavior:

Just as the Temple in Jerusalem needed to be restored with hard work, incredible generosity, and perseverance, so each of us and the Church ... continue reading

A Spirituality of Encounter. Pope Francis and the Woman Who Anointed the Feet of Jesus Watch

Image of That path of encounter proceeds along a life of prayer, adoration, contemplation and love. Her posture before the Lord, her response to Beauty and Love Incarnate, her honest self-understanding, her quick repentance; these are our Gospel lessons today. Let us come before the Lord, who is truly present to us as we receive Him in the most Holy Eucharist, and experience the encounter of encounters. Let us take Him into ourselves and become what we receive. Let us discover the spirituality, the way, of encounter.

The Woman whose story is told even to this day, as Jesus promised it would be, saw Jesus for who he is and was changed in ... continue reading
