Can We Celebrate Easter During Times of War?
No bad news can ruin us more than the Good News can save us.
No bad news can ruin us more than the Good News can save us.
St John Henry Newman describes our loved ones as “additional friends in Heaven” whose help we receive because the risen Christ brings them to wherever we are.
Christ is our Peace and wishes us to be peacemakers. Let us pray many rosaries asking Our Lady of Fatima to obtain peace for Ukraine.
Lent offers us an opportunity to grow in the desire to become more like Christ.
For Newman, prayer is conversation with God, but it is a divine conversation, which prepares us for heaven.
We can learn about the synodal path from the friendship of St. John Henry Newman and Bl. Dominic Barberi.
We must have an active faith that can see through – not over, or around or in spite of our difficulties – to our final home.
In the poem Sleeplessness, John Henry Newman writes about trusting in God, and putting aside our pride and self reliance.
Like St. John Henry we bring our sorrows, small or big, to Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem and return with hearts full of peace and joy.
Knowing the difference between forgiveness and pardon will give us even greater resolve to change and atone for past sins.
A Guide to John Henry Newman will interest educated readers and professors alike, and serve as a text for college seminars for the purpose of studying Newman.

What is a Classical Liberal Arts Education? Why is it so important for the development of a person?
Fr. Juan R. Vélez answers these and more questions you might have about University Education in the 21st century. This book is aimed for parents, prospective University students, and educators. It will help you discern why adding Liberal Arts electives to your education will help it form it better, and help the student learn to reason, and not just learn.
He also explains how many Universities have changed the true meaning of Liberal Arts, and the subjects, and gives advise on how to choose College Campus, Subjects, and Teachers.
A wonderful book that every parent should also read way before your children are College bound. A Liberal Arts education can start earlier in life, even from home.
People in the world, even the well meaning, see the world and believe that this world they see and live in is all there is.
Newman describes the vocation of following Jesus as, being like him, leaven for the dough.
As Prophet, Priest and King, Christ shares God with man and identifies with us in our humanity.
We must not measure faith by the world, but learn to see as God sees.
Newman’s bond of connection between persons and across cultures: Fr. Ian Ker, Fr. John Ford, Donald Graham and Claude Ryan
St. John Henry Newman imagined the day that he would see and touch the sacred wounds of Jesus.
St. John Henry Newman found solace in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
Though we may have lost time in following God, though we may have punishments for our past sins, we are not without hope of becoming great saints.
Christians are given what they need to perform what without God’s grace would seem, and be, impossible.
