Father Esposito: Of these things we are witnesses Columnists

Father Esposito: Of these things we are witnesses

Wednesday, April 11, 20180226 One of the great titles bestowed by the church upon Mary Magdalene is “the apostle to the apostles.” According to the Gospel of John, Mary, still sorrowful on “the first day of the week” (John 20:1), is the privileged recipient of the first Easter message that Jesus’ body no longer rests in the tomb. After racing to Simon Peter...

Father Bayer: It’s never too late for Lent

Saturday, March 31, 2018075 Lent is almost over, and many of us are already evaluating our Lenten resolutions. How did you do? Did you keep your resolutions? Let me suggest a few things to keep in mind as we reflect on our resolutions.
Father Esposito: Victory narrated through psalm and cross Columnists

Father Esposito: Victory narrated through psalm and cross

Friday, March 16, 20180213 From the cross, Jesus gives his followers a final instruction on how to read both the Scriptures and his own sacrificial death. Only the Roman soldiers crucifying him and the small ensemble of his followers, St. John and his mother among them, hear his anguished cry moments before he expires: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken...

Father Bayer: Transgender

Tuesday, February 20, 2018053 A rising pastoral topic in the Church these days is the proper way to respond to those who say they are transgender. As Catholics, a good place from which to orient ourselves is Amoris laetitia by Pope Francis.
Father Bayer: Baptism Columnists

Father Bayer: Baptism

Wednesday, December 27, 2017022 On January 8, 2018, we celebrate the baptism of Jesus “in the Jordan by John” (Mk 1:9-11). The evangelist Mark tells us that the baptism John preached was “a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Mk 1:4). But if it is for the forgiveness of sins, why does Jesus, the all holy Son of God, accept to be baptized?
Father Bayer: As Christ commands, love with a pure, unified heart Columnists

Father Bayer: As Christ commands, love with a pure, unified heart

Monday, November 27, 20170160 Christ commands us to love with “all” our heart, soul and mind (Mt 22:34-40). But what does that look like? To speak about “all” a heart is to speak about a “pure” heart: a simple, whole and straightforward heart, free from anything extraneous. When we love purely, we are unified by a single love.
Father Esposito: Finding holiness: the goal of all saints and souls Columnists

Father Esposito: Finding holiness: the goal of all saints and souls

Friday, November 3, 20170110 St. Thomas Aquinas and Dante are the most famous among the many theologians who have speculated about the nature of Heaven. While they certainly could not speak from personal experience while standing on this side of death, they rightly emphasized that our perpetual vision of God must be based on our capacity to receive that infinite...
Father Bayer: Let us all say ‘yes’ to solidarity Columnists

Father Bayer: Let us all say ‘yes’ to solidarity

Thursday, October 5, 2017079 A story. Some time ago I had lunch with a black friend in a major city. I asked him what it was like when he first met the couple that informally adopted him by mentoring him after he aged out of foster care. He said something like, “During the first six months I was suspicious, because I had been burned many times before, but then I...
Father Esposito: Hail Mary, Untier of Knots and Unifier of the Times Columnists

Father Esposito: Hail Mary, Untier of Knots and Unifier of the Times

Thursday, October 5, 20170121 By Father Thomas Esposito Special to The Texas Catholic October is the month of the Rosary in the Roman Catholic tradition. Dedication to this devotion, and in particular its faithful recitation in October, is due largely to the victory of the Catholic Western powers over the Ottoman Empire at the naval battle of Lepanto on Oct....
Father Esposito: Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ Columnists

Father Esposito: Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ

Wednesday, July 26, 20170164 By Father Thomas Esposito Special to The Texas Catholic My noble efforts at maintaining a tranquil, stoic temperament fail miserably whenever I hear one particular response to the topic of reading the Bible. It comes in several variations, but they all seize on a common theme—or excuse. “Reading the Bible? C’mon, dude. I...
