You’ve gotta love it when it seems like the Holy Spirit is leading you through your workweek, making the job easier and the product better.

President Barack Obama recently asked a group of religious journalists to the White House for a roundtable interview.

Jesus was blessed to have two fathers - God, his father; and St. Joseph, his earthly father. St. Joseph showed us how to live as a father. If Jesus needed an earthly father, then today’s children do too.
I was blessed to have a father at home through my formative years. Some of my younger brothers [...]

In 13 years as a sportswriter and sports copy-desker, I’ve covered many a national signing day, during which high-school athletes sign national letters of intent to make official their college choices. They are normally big ceremonies that draw big crowds. Some even get airtime on ESPN.

The marriage ceremony often recalls how the love between bride and groom should mirror Jesus’ love for his bride, the Church.

As the summer season cranks up, many people choose to hit the road to relax and recharge.
Some people choose to also recharge their faith during a break. A common way is with a retreat. Each diocese in Florida has at least one retreat center, and many religious orders also host retreats. Catholicity.com has some retreat [...]
