Father Esposito: Mary, mother of every beloved disciple Columnists

Father Esposito: Mary, mother of every beloved disciple

Thursday, May 5, 20220221 Mary is never named in the Gospel of John. In the only scenes featuring her, the beloved disciple refers to her simply as “the mother of Jesus.” Those two episodes act as bookends to John’s presentation of Jesus’ ministry, and highlight the role of Mary as mother both of the Church and of every individual Christian.

Father Esposito: The plea of an atheist for biblical beauty

Thursday, April 7, 20220161 The Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1980, declared in a book of prose that “the Scriptures constitute the common good of believers, agnostics, and atheists.” For Milosz, whose life was scarred by the Nazi and Communist takeovers of his native land, the moral authority and literary beauty of the...

Father Esposito: Exile and home in the human condition

Sunday, March 13, 20220505 A curious pattern of exile is evident in the endings of several Old Testament books. After God promises Abram the land of Canaan, the patriarch must immediately flee to Egypt because of a famine (Genesis 12); his descendants, the sons of Jacob, repeat the expedition for the same reason (Genesis 42-47).

Father Esposito: The expanding heart that casts out fear

Tuesday, February 15, 20220400 St. Benedict concludes the Prologue of his Rule for monks with an uplifting exhortation: “Do not be daunted immediately by fear and run away from the road that leads to salvation. It is bound to be narrow at the outset. But as we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God’s commandments, our hearts...

Father Esposito: Awaken the sleeping Lord in your boat!

Sunday, January 16, 20220309 By Father Thomas Esposito Special to The Texas Catholic Near the end of March 2020, the peoples of virtually all nations were enduring the first of many months of enforced isolation and the specter of sickness caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Father Esposito: Remember your dignity as Advent begins

Tuesday, November 30, 20210234 Greek philosophers centuries before Christ acknowledged the immense mystery of our being human. Man, they said, is a microcosm, a condensed universe, containing in himself the vast expanse of height and depth, glory and misery, perceived in the intricacies and infinities of the created order. An extension of this idea is the beautiful...

Father Esposito: The Sabbath Rest is for you, not God

Thursday, October 28, 20210162 “On the seventh day, God completed the work He had been doing; He rested on the seventh day from all the work He had undertaken. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work He had done in creation” (Genesis 2:2-3).

Father Esposito: Prayer as audacious battle with God

Sunday, October 3, 20210222 By Father Thomas Esposito Special to The Texas Catholic Near the end of his letter to the Colossians, St. Paul includes a greeting from his fellow disciple Epaphras, “a slave of Christ Jesus, always fighting for you in his prayers so that you may be perfect and fully assured in all the will of God” (Colossians 4:12). Paul’s...

Father Esposito: Traditionis custodes and faithful opportunities

Thursday, September 16, 20210762 Pope Francis recently made a much-discussed decision to restrict the celebration of “the Latin Mass,” also known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman rite. As the bishop of Rome, he has the power to give bishops the authority to allow the celebration of the Tridentine rite in their dioceses. But his judgment, expressed in a motu...

Father Esposito: Edith Stein — philosopher, convert, martyr, saint

Wednesday, July 21, 20210608 Few religious orders can match the Carmelites’ All-Star lineup for sanctity of life and brilliance of theological writings: John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity are the heaviest hitters in this illustrious branch of contemplatives. Equal to those great figures, in my opinion, is the...
