By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post - In spite of lockdowns, some churches kept their doors open. And that has made all the difference...

Many churches closed their doors and went to online services. It is hard to be the church when you are not actually together in community.

By Derek Rotty, Catholic Exchange - Fulton Sheen wrote exactly this in the same article. “Each new year,” he scribed, “is actually a testing and proving ground for eternity, a kind of novitiate in which we say ‘aye’ or ‘nay’ to our eternal destiny….” Our eternal destiny is Heaven, and we must recognize that reality, whether it is 11:00 pm on December 31 or 11:00am on January 15, or any other time of the year. “What matters most,” Sheen offered, “is the sanctification of the now moment.”

By Msgr. Charles Pope - In this time after Epiphany and before Lent we continue to ponder the fundamental question: Who is Jesus Christ?

Presented below are more than 150 different titles of Christ. For each title, I have included a link to the Scripture from which it was drawn.
