Catholic schools: Building a brighter future
Once a month during this Jubilee Year, I will reflect in this column on some part of the Church’s mission which offers hope to the world. When we are intent on living out the teachings of Christ, God uses our efforts to bring salvation and hope to others, especially those who live in situations without love, peace, purpose, or the necessary means to achieve a dignified existence.

Messiah, the Messiah, and the message
I am currently reading a fascinating book, Every Valley: The Desperate Lives and Troubled Times that made Handel’s Messiah by Charles King, which narrates both the complex history and the enduring legacy of one of the most popular musical masterpieces.

Finding peace through Christ
One of my favorite prayers is this from St. Francis de Sales: “Be at peace. Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life; rather look to them with full hope as they arise. God, whose very own you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day. He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.”
The meaning of Christmas
Both in its theological depth and poetic prose, Preface I of Advent expresses beautifully the meaning of Christmas.
