  • Upon This Summer 2019Summer
    UPON THIS SUMMER 2019SUMMER How EWTN Catholic Radio Brought Keith Back to the Catholic Church I have been on a roller coaster for a number of years in regard to my Christian faith and my return to the Catholic Church. I am a cradle Catholic. My parents are almost 90 and still attend weekly Mass at St Leo’s in Cleveland where I was baptized, received First Holy Communion and confirmed. Like a typical child of the baby boomer years I was, as Father John Riccardo likes to say, “…sacramentalized, but never evangelized.” I attended Mass and CCD classes until I was old enough to say I was going but never showed up. By the time I was 16 I never attended church again until I was married at age 21, yes, of course in the Catholic Church. We had a daughter and raised her in the Church where she was also sacramentalized but never evangelized. That marriage lasted seven years and then we divorced due mainly to my excessive drinking. The marriage was later annulled by the Catholic Church. For the next 13 years I did not attend any type of church. My drinking progressed, and I became an alcoholic. During my ten or so years of active addiction to alcohol, I was a godless person. I lived a life of self-will run rampant; a very selfish, self-centered life. At age 40 I found the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and I currently have 27 years of sobriety. This is where I started the second phase of my spiritual journey.

  • Be As a Tree Bearing Virtue Bishop Milan Lach, SJ, of Parma
    Be as a tree bearing virtue Bishop Milan Lach, SJ, of Parma We are beginning our pilgrimage in Rome in thanksgiving for the 50th anniversary of the Eparchy of Parma and also to pray for our eparchy and its faithful. We will be in blessed and sacred places in Rome that are connected with our faith and with our Byzantine Catholic Church, with our identity. You are certainly tired right now, but you can offer up this tiredness for our church. To be pilgrims is not easy. It’s not a trip, it’s a pilgrimage. This is important to discern. Pilgrimage also means sacrifice. It means not having all that we would wish for on a trip; on pilgrimage, sometimes, we need to compromise with each other. We need, step by step, to forget ourselves more, in order to see Christ, to see Jesus Christ in our neighbors, in our brothers and our sisters. In today’s Gospel (Jn 7:1-13), Jesus’ brothers wanted him to go ahead to Judea and to reveal himself to the people there. Jesus responded, “My time is not yet here, but the time is always right for you. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify to it that its works are evil” (6-7). We are in the right place, here, at the Basilica of St. Clement, this saint who also was hated by this world. As you know, he was one of the first popes of the church, and he suffered for the church. He lived the consequences of these words of Jesus, and the world always will hate those who witness to the truth.

  • On Forgiveness Sunday and Cheesefare by Bishop Milan Lach, SJ Apostolic Administrator of Parma
    On Forgiveness Sunday and Cheesefare By Bishop Milan Lach, SJ Apostolic administrator of Parma In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The Book of Genesis says the first man and woman lived in paradise in Eden. We know that they lived in harmony and holy communion with God, with one another and with their own selves, without suffering, sin, sorrow, or death. This harmony was disrupted by the devil, finally leading them to disobey God. The cause of their disobedience was their willing choice to succumb to temptation. They thought they knew better than their Creator and Lord. That Adam and Eve preferred to trust in themselves, their pride and self- importance, rather than in God, led to their fall from communion with him. Once they had rejected God, they also rejected freedom from sin and had to face the penalty of death, not only of their bodily death, but the death of their relationships with God and with each other. The consequence of their fall was clear to both of them: it was only in living in the manner God had intended, which was opposite to what they had determined themselves, that they would restore their relationship with God. Instead of disobedience, they now had to live in obedience; instead of being prideful, they needed to practice humility. God also gives us, the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, the opportunity to ask for forgiveness and to restore our relationships through the sacrament of confession. Confession is our Savior’s gift: God gives us an opportunity to correct our mistakes and sins.
