Father Bayer: Seeing Stress in Light of the Gospel

Thursday, October 14, 20210150 Lots of us say we’re stressed. What is stress?

Sunday, October 3, 20210184 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).

Father Bayer: Preparing for the Synod

Friday, September 17, 2021072 Lately, I’ve been thinking about the upcoming diocesan synod announced by Bishop Edward J. Burns, which will integrate the synod announced by Pope Francis.

Father Esposito: Traditionis custodes and faithful opportunities

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

Wednesday, July 21, 20210421 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...

Saturday, June 19, 2021055 On Dec. 8, 2020, Pope Francis dedicated the coming year to St. Joseph. Now, in June, we are at the halfway point.
