By Anthony Esolen, The Catholic Thing - The eternal does not “develop.” That is a contradiction in terms. So says our Lord, in the days before his Passion, when he spoke to his disciples of the last days and the coming of the Son of Man in glory. “Heaven and earth will pass away,” he says, “but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)... His saying so can become too familiar to us. We hear it at Mass every year, but it must have left the disciples dumbstruck. Moses does not say that about himself. Isaiah and Jeremiah do not say it.

By Randy Hain, Integrated Catholic Life - Are we celebrating the joy of the Resurrection? I believe one of the greatest obstacles to evangelization and sharing our faith with others today is that many of us have forgotten how to be joyful. I know when the stresses of the world weigh me down, I struggle to maintain a joyful attitude in the presence of others. We are often so busy with our hectic schedules and materialistic lifestyles that we lose touch with our love of Christ and neglect our faith.

By José Arturo Quarracino, NewsMax - It is undeniable that the pontificate of the late Jorge Mario Bergoglio, to the world known as Pope Francis, has been impactful, both within the Catholic Church and outside it... In general terms, it can be said that it has been a totally disruptive papacy like no other in the history of the church... Francis promoted radical changes that were not simply evolutionary but one offering an abrupt break with the very life, doctrine and practice of the faith founded by Jesus Christ.
