Errors in Confirmation Catechesis Are Today Prevalent

January 24, 2019 by Brandon Harvey 7 Comments

Pentecost, descent of the Holy Spirit

I am often recruited to speak at Confirmation events around the Midwest and, in the past, I would offer a “test” to check the candidates’ understanding of Confirmation.

There’s No Need To Be Intimidated By Evangelizing Others

January 23, 2019 by Isaac Arellano Leave a Comment

St. Paul in prison

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation” (Mk. 16:15). When I used to read that verse, I would tend to think it was directed to only the early church, only for the clergy, or only for those holier than I. But St. Paul taught me otherwise.

The Joy of Needing Others

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
