A call for witnesses, dignity during Respect Life Month

The early Christians were being severely persecuted for their faith in Jesus as the son of God. Many of them martyred for the faith, spilling their blood as they gave witness to their faith in Jesus Christ. St. Paul is writing to Timothy, who is much younger than him, to try to encourage him and to remind him to not only rely on human...

'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy'

Deshotel: The sacrament of the anointing of the sick

We encounter the living Jesus Christ in each of the seven sacraments. This is also true in the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. Formerly called extreme unction, the anointing of the sick unites us with Christ in sickness, suffering and when we pass from this life to eternity.

Just as God creates out of love, it is in this environment of married loved that new human life is brought into existence. Cooperating with God, husband and wife become part of his plan for generating new life. True love begets new life. It is on this that the church bases its teaching on God’s design for married life.
