Delegates at the "Convocation of Catholic Leaders. The Joy of the Gospel in America" have their work cut out for them but they are equipped to do it, said speakers at the final plenary session July 4.
Convocation of Catholic Leaders: "We leave here nourished and refreshed and we go and do what we have to do," Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston said during the Convocation's closing mass.
Convocation of Catholic Leaders: "It's OK if we wrestle with diversity and pluralism," Hosffman Ospino told delegates at the convocation.
Whether cultivating a patch of earth dedicated to the Virgin Mary, St. Francis of Assisi, or the rosary in stepping stones, Catholics find spiritual inspiration in prayer gardens.
Spiritual Reflections: Both Paul and Jesus are saying, “Get over yourselves so that you can lose the life you plan for and find fullness of life in Christ.”
Eco Catholic: Composer Sam Guarnaccia's "Emergent Universe Oratorio" will be performed Friday night in Cleveland as part of the World Union of Jesuit Alumna congress.
Book Review: “God is available to talk to us as we do laundry, change diapers, run carpool, shuffle kids to activities, oversee homework, and coordinate our families’ calendars.”
Spiritual Reflections: Today’s readings call us to reconsider our Christian vocation. Each of us was baptized to share in Christ’s prophetic ministry.
The Peace Pulpit: Look at that person and see Jesus, not the host. Yes, Jesus is present, but even more important, in our brothers and sisters, especially those who are in need.
Young Voices: With Pentecost recently celebrated, I've been thinking about charisms, particularly gifts of the Holy Spirit given to the faithful for the common good and the benefit of the church.
