Looking for a prayer companion? Consider your pet - U.S. Catholic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caught up in some painful drama as a college student, many years ago, I sought solitude in a forest near the school and knelt to pray beside a fallen log. Hearing a rustling beside me, I opened my eyes and beheld a raccoon on its haunches, its tiny paws pressed together. Call me naive, but it looked for all the world like I had a ring-tailed prayer partner. I have encountered a surprising number of people who have shared such moments of spiritual connection with their furred or feathered friends
A common dedication to the truth is key to unity - U.S. Catholic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The common life of culture can only exist within what Pope Leo XIV in Magnifica Humanitas (On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence) calls an “ecology of communication,” fostered by an education that is not an “incessant flow of information” but rather a shared “ability to grasp reality as a whole” and “ask profound questions about meaning.” Without that shared life, we cannot really know truth at all.

I was nervous before I met Ruth Burrows for the first time at the Quidenham Carmelite Monastery. Here I was, about to encounter one of the greatest spiritual writers of our times.

I was about to meet a woman who had also played a groundbreaking and sometimes controversia
The World Cup offered a glimpse of a less divided world - U.S. Catholic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I grew up liking soccer, but at some point, I disconnected from it. Even a week before the World Cup began, I was not planning to watch. But then, while scrolling through social media, I came across the story of two completely different World Cups. For the first time in its history, the tournament had three cohosts: Mexico, the United States, and Canada. As visiting teams arrived in Mexico, they were officially welcomed with mariachi, folklórico dancers, and adoring fans. In contrast, teams arri
Finding Jesus is a lifelong process (opens the original)
Read excerpt
And being found in appearance as a human, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. (Phil. 2:7b–8) There’s a 19th-century Methodist hymn I hope they play at my funeral someday: “Give Me Jesus.” The refrain declares with great confidence and not a little weariness: “You may have all this world, give me Jesus.” It’s easy to arrive at this conclusion when global society is in shambles, as it has felt in recent years. It can be more challenging to fork over
