Father Andy advises how to avoid the flashy world vying for our attention so that we can fully appreciate the calm, beauty and love in the presence of the Eucharist.

The Catholic Church teaches that when someone takes their own life, it doesn’t mean that they automatically lose their soul. Father Chris Alar, MIC, takes this a step further and shows how your prayers today can help someone who has died for any reason, even years ago, at the moment of their judgment. Then be inspired by the testimony of a mother who lost her beloved son to suicide, and how, even in the midst of darkness and despair, she found hope and healing in God's loving mercy.

Fr. Matthew Tomeny reminds us of one of the most urgent and essential truths Christ ever proclaimed: “If you do not repent, you will all perish” (Luke 13:3). The very first word of Jesus’ public ministry was repent—metanoia in Greek—meaning a complete change of mind and heart. True repentance is not a one-time act but a lifelong transformation. It is the continual turning of the soul toward God, the daily dying to self so that Christ may live in us.
