How does it fit into our relationship with God and our spiritual life? There are lots of reasons why we celebrate the Eucharist weekly and not just on Easter Sunday.

  • Pope Francis Shows a New Way to Be Pro-Life by Francis X
    JANUARY 17, 2014 VOLUME 48, NUMBER 1 INSIDE: Pages 2-3: Diocese celebrates 90 years of mission work Page 4: Why march for life? Pages 9-12: Catholic Charities’ annual report Pages 19: St. John the Baptist Preschool Marks anniversary Pope Francis Shows a New Way to Be Pro-Life By Francis X. Rocca Catholic News Service On the morning of Jan. 25, 2013, participants in the Washington, D.C., March for Life received an unexpected boost in the form of a Twitter message from Pope Benedict XVI. “I join all those marching for life from afar, and pray that political leaders will protect the unborn and promote a culture of life,” the pope wrote on his account, @Pontifex. This Jan. 22, when marchers on the Mall again protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision legalizing abortion, Pope Francis might very well follow Pope Benedict’s lead by tweeting his sup- port. If he does, those words will be among the relatively few Pope Francis has devoted to the subject. Pope Francis’ decision to talk less than his predecessors about abortion has puzzled and distressed some supporters of the pro- life movement. Yet the pope has made clear his commitment to the defense of unborn life and, thanks to his colossal popularity and gift for communicating across cultural divides, his pontificate could prove a boon to the pro-life cause in enormous and unprecedented ways. The pope’s comparative reticence on abortion became evident to many observers a few months into his pontificate. At a June Vatican Mass dedicated to pro-life causes, an event that had been planned under Pope Benedict, Pope Francis surprised many when delivered a homily without any reference to abortion, euthanasia or any other specific threat to life.
