As the Family Goes, So Goes the World

As the basic building block of society, the family is the most important component of society. The Holy Family teaches us how to live in holiness and to change the world.

Como va la Familia, así va el Mundo

La familia es la célula más importante de la sociedad. La Sagrada Familia nos enseña come ser santos en la familia para crear una sociedad santa.

Welcoming the Child

His arrival has brought joy to so many. So small, yet so powerful; able to change lives

Lessons from Silent Joe

The Incarnation implies some pretty extraordinary things for humanity - and for St. Joseph in particular. What does this silent witness of Advent and Christmas have to teach us?

Transformed by Joy

Just as The Who’s in Whoville knew where Christmas joy comes from, our love of the Lord can transform hearts with Christian joy.

Cristo, el Rey que unifica

Con Jesús como nuestro rey, nada puede dividirnos.

Christians as Priests, Prophets, and Kings

As baptized members of the Body of Christ, we are all made priests, prophets and kings and have a duty to carry out those roles in our lives. How do we do that?

When You're Strange

The more people try to individuate themselves, the more they end up blending in. Our faith calls us to be “strange” - like Zacchaeus.

No mas máscaras

Nuestras debilidades pueden hacer uno de dos cosas: hacernos duros y poner las “máscaras” para escondernos, o hacer que dependamos a Dios.

No More Masks

Our weakness, vulnerability, and sinfulness can do one of two things: lead us to put on “masks” to hide our true selves, or to trust God’s mercy.
