Rosary Gems
Just as two friends, frequently in each other’s company, tend to develop similar habits, so too, by holding familiar converse with Jesus and the Blessed Virgin, by meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary and by living the same life in Holy Communion, we can become, to the extent of our lowliness, similar to them…

From the Friars: Valentine’s Day
I never really celebrated Valentine’s Day growing up. It’s probably because I was more focused on the candy than on actually looking for a Valentine!

World Day for Consecrated Life
Today we rejoice and celebrate World Day for Consecrated Life. Over the years, many men and women have chosen to live out their baptismal vocation by professing the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They do this by joining a religious congregation, a secular institute, or through private vows. We pray for these people…
From the Friars: Complete giving of self
Three of us friars are temporarily living in an apartment on Essex Street while the new rectory/friary is being built. There is a popular bar/restaurant on the first floor of our building, which is often full of young people. It has struck me as unusual that Sunday nights seem to be especially popular. The contrast…
