Moral Effects of Union with God
For Newman, prayer is conversation with God, but it is a divine conversation, which prepares us for heaven.
For Newman, prayer is conversation with God, but it is a divine conversation, which prepares us for heaven.
Newman warns against the danger of self-righteousness, and its converse: shunning religious practices that might lead to self-conceit.
Are your passions leading you astray? Prayer and praise can bring you back.
Newman’s “definite service” to God and the Church has only just begun.
Newman urges us to pray for others. In the face of Covid-19 we can unite ourselves to Christ in the Mass, praying for the world, especially those suffering most.
Cardinal Newman teaches us to worship God as our Creator and to address Him with the trust of children.
We need times of private prayer to know what God wants for us and to exercise faith in his care for us.
Formal prayers are recited in public prayer, but not privately. Blessed Newman explains how these forms, some of them ancient, can aid personal devotion.
Hypocrisy is more widespread and dangerous than most of us believe. Blessed Newman urges us to overcome self-deception by examining ourselves.
On this Holy Saturday we await our Lord’s resurrection. We too wish to rise with Him. To do so, we must have an inner life hidden with Him.
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.

(Catholic Herald, April 1, 2023)
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.
Aim at ‘seeing the King in His beauty’. All things that we see are but shadows to us and delusions, unless we enter into what they really mean.
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.”
The Psalms, the "voice of the Church," invite us to enter into the sufferings of Christ and His people, and cling to God above all.
Applying Newman's theory, it seems clear that the notion that women's ordination to to the priesthood, would not maintain the type of the early Church.
In 1990, the International Theological Commission, issued a document titled "The Interpretation of Dogma" in which Newman's seven notes are endorsed.
The path forward for us personally and for the Church at large, requires returning to the core truths that Christ Himself has revealed to us.
We are made to be gifts to God and gifts to each other, body and soul; to go against God’s law, which is for our good, is to refuse the gift.
What does John Henry Newman mean by the words: "to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often?"
Listening to God is done keeping in mind the normative value of the whole of Tradition and of the Church’s Teaching.
