Father Esposito: Happiness as the blessed life Columnists

Father Esposito: Happiness as the blessed life

Friday, March 10, 20230153 “Why should I be happy?” I wasn’t expecting such a snappy retort to my friendly question “Are you happy?”, even though the respondent was my scowling confrere Father Roch Kereszty. Never satisfied with facile and clichéd conversations, Father Roch always resisted the shallow and automatic answers we give to questions that are...

Father Esposito: The science and theology of invention

Monday, February 13, 20230173 We typically associate the word “invention” with modern scientific breakthroughs, brilliant and painstaking achievements by geniuses producing civilizational advancements and mastery over the forces of nature. Human ingenuity has produced astonishing developments, from the printing press to the combustion engine to the Internet, with...

Father Bayer: The evolution of worship

Wednesday, February 1, 2023078 I read a wonderful book recently that I think lots of people should read, especially science-minded people: Vestige of Eden, Image of Eternity by Daniel Toma. Dr. Toma is a geneticist at Minnesota State University, as well as a wide reader of Catholic theology from both the eastern and western traditions.

Father Esposito: Praying with the O Antiphons

Saturday, December 17, 20220174 Whenever people ask me how they can prepare themselves spiritually for Christmas, I invite them to read the lyrics of Christmas carols as prayers. Specifying which carols to employ is important; I am not aware of any mystical symbolism behind “Frosty the Snowman,” and I have long been convinced that “All I Want for Christmas is...

Father Bayer: Eucharist

Friday, November 25, 2022088 You may know the Church in America is promoting a National Eucharistic Revival. After a few years of grassroots initiatives, it culminates with a major event in July 2024. Check out eucharisticrevival.org for details. Why have a revival? As the authors of the website write, “Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are...
Father Esposito: Why God allows you to be angry at Him Columnists

Father Esposito: Why God allows you to be angry at Him

Friday, November 11, 20220530 A popular praise-&-worship song takes its title from the opening words of Psalm 89: “I could sing of your love forever.” The song stirs emotions to a blissful pitch of gushing adoration for the loving and healing God who allows us to lift our hands daily in tranquil praise of His never-failing mercy.
Father Bayer: The Art of Dying Columnists

Father Bayer: The Art of Dying

Friday, October 28, 20220224 I’m blessed to know medical doctors, professors and students who want to integrate Catholic faith into medicine. Such a desire makes sense, given how Catholicism assisted in many ways at the birth of modern medicine.
Father Esposito: Prison meditations on providence Columnists

Father Esposito: Prison meditations on providence

Wednesday, October 12, 20220178 While awaiting a sham trial and certain execution for high treason, Thomas More prayed and wrote. Henry VIII had declared himself head of the Church of England, and the Catholic More, who had served the king loyally as chancellor, refused to break his spiritual allegiance to the pope. He was utterly alone at this hour of his life; his...
Father Bayer: Discerning the will of God Columnists

Father Bayer: Discerning the will of God

Thursday, September 29, 20220104 One of the most laudable questions I receive is about how to discern God’s will. A decision is easy to make when the choice is between something right and something wrong. But a decision can be difficult when the choice is between two goods and I have to discover the specific will God has for me. I recently read a great book on this...
Father Esposito: Technology’s trap and our humanity Columnists

Father Esposito: Technology’s trap and our humanity

Tuesday, September 20, 20220233 I reached a new low recently when I felt an overwhelming and irresistible itch to catch up on emails mere minutes after my first check of the day, which happened mere minutes after I finished celebrating Mass. I had long lamented the sight of my students reaching addictively for their phones as soon as class ended, but the realization...
