Congregation for the Clergy on the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord
By Congregation for the Clergy • Catholic Online • 5/20/2012
The Collect continues: "where the Head has gone before in glory, the Body is called to follow in hope". We are called to joy because our humanity is now 'elevated' in Christ beside the Father. In fact, because of Christ's love for man He took on our flesh and so all that happens to Christ's ...

Catholic Social Doctrine: Morality, Science, and Technology
By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. • Catholic Online • 5/18/2012
Science and technology, for all their good, are not something ungoverned by moral law. We should not fall into the moral morass of believing that just because we can do something we ought to do something. Often, dazzled by the products of his ingenuity, man views technology as the summum ...
The Ascension of the Lord Is Also Our Ascension With the Lord
By Deacon Keith Fournier • Catholic Online • 5/17/2012
Does the Ascension affect our lives in the here and now? Is it a commemoration of an event which occurred 2000 years ago? Or, could it be the key that helps unlock the very meaning of our lives and the plan of God for the entire created order? He is the Head and we are members of His Body. We ...

What the Fire Spared: On Mary and Motherhood
By Martha Lyles • Catholic Online • 5/14/2012
Every fire refines, and the one that claimed our house was no exception. We are stronger and wiser now, more grateful, less materialistic. But I would feel ungrateful to God if I complained, so I focus on the many ways He has guarded and sustained us. POWAY, CA (Catholic Online) - The thing you ...
The Happy Priest Reflects on the Greatness of Motherhood
By Fr. James Farfaglia • Catholic Online • 5/14/2012
Motherhood is a high calling. What can replace the love of a mother and a grandmother? The love, guidance and influence they provide to their children are distinct and invaluable. All mothers who wish to be true to their high calling need only look to the woman who became the greatest mother ...
The Happy Priest: Living Our Lives for Others
By Fr. James Farfaglia • Catholic Online • 5/13/2012
Despite the many challenges and sufferings of daily existence, a life of selfless love energizes the true Christian in such way that they are able to soar above every challenge. Anyone who wants to live true Christianity is called to live selflessly. Does a true mother complain when she ...
President Supports Homosexual 'Marriage': Obama's Fool's Gold Rule
By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. • Catholic Online • 5/12/2012
