    Adult sibling relationships matter, too (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Somewhere, women were laughing. The sound carried me back to my childhood, when I’d lie in my bed comforted by the voices of my older sisters talking in their bedroom down the hall. Now, decades later, groggy and in pain after an emergency surgery, I was convinced my big sisters were talking together in the next room. Earlier, as I’d counted my racing pulse through the pain that pounded my body, sleep had seemed impossible. Now, listening to what I thought was my sisters’ laughter, my heart slow

    How parishes can better support people affected by suicide (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My son Quentin died by suicide on April 26, 2020. Every Catholic parish has people like me who bear the sorrow of suicide loss, as well as those whose loved ones have attempted suicide. They also have people who wrestle with suicidal ideation and others who have survived their own suicide attempts. The most recent data indicates suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. The assumption that suicide only strikes people who are outside the church or no longer practice their

    Isaiah 5:1–7Psalm 80:9, 12, 13–14, 15–16, 19–20Philippians 4:6–9Matthew 21:33–43 Oh boy, this feels like another one of those moments where we’re in trouble. God seems to be complaining, in the reading from Hebrew scripture, that humanity has not responded to God’s loving care. Jesus sounds angry, too, that we’ve rejected God’s prophets, turning them away time and time again and greedily keeping the gifts of God to ourselves. But… Lately I’ve been noticing who Jesus is speaking to in the scriptu

    Why did Jesus get angry? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Jesus got angry from time to time. All four of the gospels testify to this. This should be no surprise. The Councils of Nicaea (325), Constantinople (381), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451) built upon each other and declared that Jesus was both fully divine and fully human. And this means he was fully human in every complex detail of being human, other than one thing: sin—intrinsic separation from God that results in harming others. Jesus of Nazareth lived in full communion with God to the grea

    Pope hats and glimmers of grace at a White Sox game (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The rain stopped for no one in Chicagoland this summer, Pope Leo XIV included. On August 11, rolling walls of dark clouds loomed from all directions under an algae-green sky. The local NBC 5 weather team reported uprooted trees in dozens of communities; tornado sirens echoed downtown. By 11 a.m., crews were already working to restore power to thousands of people, primarily in the Southland. Some of those same weary Chicagoans’ lights had only turned back on a few weeks prior, after outages from
