The path into this discovery of self is the cross. The cross is a mirror. In seeing myself in that mirror, I see Christ crucified, and in seeing Christ crucified, I see my most authentic self.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus challenges us to consider the cost of discipleship. Like someone planning to build a tower or march into battle, we’re called to prepare our hearts for what it means to live a life rooted in Christ.

Few lay men or women have been formally canonized. Most saints belonged to religious communities, but people in that state of life make up a tiny percentage of the Church.

Carlo Acutis, the millennial teenager whose story has impacted countless people all around the world, will soon be canonized by the Catholic Church.

My heart breaks for young people today who first encounter the world through an app.

We often complain about what we don’t have, when Jesus points to our resources to make a difference in the world.

Where does the Catholic Church stand on images of Christ, statues of saints, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady of Guadalupe, etc.? Is it wrong for me to have these items in my home?
