Juneteenth Seen as Day to Reflect on Freedom, Ending Racism and Black Catholics' Contributions

67% Right coverage: 3 sources
(OSV News) — This year marks the 160th anniversary of the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the last Confederate state that continued to uphold the practice of slavery two years after it was abolished in the country — an event marked by Juneteenth, a federal holiday since 2021. While Catholics have noted this significant achievement in U.S. history, they have also said the day is a reminder to continue to work to end racism and injus…See the Story

St. Francis and the Body of Christ

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
Thomas of Celano, an early friar and author of three hagiographies of Francis, wrote that the saint “burned with a love that came from his whole being for the sacrament of the Lord’s body.” And Francis sought to spread that fire to his brothers, to the lepers he embraced outside the walled city of Assisi, indeed to all those who longed for a closer relationship with God. It was the summit of his faith—and he wanted everybody at the table. Franci…Assisi · AssisiRead Article

Thoughts and Prayers Aren't Enough

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
It happens every time there is a major life event. Sometimes it’s a national tragedy, such as a school shooting. It could be an illness or a devastating diagnosis. But whatever it is, as soon as we’re aware of it, we immediately begin to offer “thoughts and prayers” to all those involved.  It’s understandable. Thanks to social media and around-the-clock news, we’re hyperaware of every little thing that happens. When facing something tragic, we k…School Shooting · United StatesRead Article

Kolbe House: The Saving Grace of Prison Inmates

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
This parish-based agency in Chicago offers hope to those jailed in both body and spirit. Seventeen-year-old Jaime Chavez swaggers into the agency living room as if he owns it. Wearing a bulky jacket and a loose-fitting shirt, he moves with a confidence indicative of a modern teenager. With a wide smile and a shiny earring, Jaime’s trendy exterior is belied by his reserved, humble voice. He is, in many ways, the typical American teenager. But Jai…Chicago, IL · ChicagoRead Article

Prayer Is Born from Love

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
What causes this dryness in our prayer? Some may relate it to a period of grief after a loved one dies suddenly or too young, while others may look to a period following a job loss or unexpected move. Having a mental illness like depression may make prayer difficult. For many of us, these periods just happen. It is important to remember you are still praying, even though you may not feel peace and comfort. Putting the effort in prayer is a sacri…Quebec City · Quebec CitySee the Story

St. Francis Could Let Go

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
“St. Francis could let go when the right time came and engage in new ways of thinking and structures of relationship,” Sister Ilia Delio says. “I think Francis’ notion of poverty, as much as it was material, was more of an emphasis on living without possessing. People possess. We possess our ideas, our judgments, our opinions. We grip them and hold onto them with a tight grasp, not letting them go for anything. So, one thing for me is to become …Cincinnati · CincinnatiRead Article

Brother Henryk Cisowski, OFM Cap

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
Growing up in western Poland during the Communist era, Henryk Cisowski first met Franciscans at the lively Catholic parish a block from his home.  The young, dynamic Capuchins took youths on bicycle pilgrimages, to summer camps, even formed a band. For Henryk, St. Anthony Church in his hometown of Nova Sol, Poland, became an oasis of freedom in a desert of totalitarianism.  “In the gray landscape of a Communist country, the church was a bright s…Catholic Church · PolandRead Article

Feast of Corpus Christi

Reflect The body of Christ—it’s not just what we receive in the Eucharist; it’s who we are, together. This feast reminds us of the mystery and intimacy of a God who becomes food for the hungry. In true Franciscan fashion, let’s not only adore the Eucharist but also recognize Christ in the poor, the broken, and the ordinary bread of our days. Pray Jesus, bread of life, thank you for feeding my souland calling me into communion with youand with al…See the Story

A Need for Silence

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
Reflect The speed of our world is fast-paced, loud and bright, and sometimes very overwhelming for a human spirit seeking to thrive not just survive. The beloved American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “Silence and solitude are the soul’s best friends.” The human spirit cannot thrive without nurturing these two flames in one’s life.
