St. Francis of Assisi was an activist, pacifist, and prophet. In our own small ways, we can mirror his revolutionary spirit.
The Catholic Project believes clergy and laity can work together to heal a US Church humiliated by the sex abuse scandals.
Today’s feast is about both two women and two men. The Blessed Virgin Mary goes to visit Elizabeth to assist her in her final days of pregnancy. But as she greets Elizabeth, the babe in Elizabeth’s womb—John the Baptist—leaps for joy at the presence of Jesus in Mary’s womb. Great mysteries of life are at play here.
