Contemplative Prayer and Hope for America, by Anthony Lilles

By Anthony Lilles, Catholic World Report - Prayer in the Catholic Tradition is about facing the materialist swamp, facing even the social horror that it engenders, and answering it with the peace of Christ... In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, how do we answer the violence that grips America’s public square?... This latest social horror is part of a disturbing pattern of other assassinations, massacres, and violent riots that have gripped our country. Confused and cowardly men vent their rage on defenseless children and people of faith. ...

Bishop Joseph E. Strickland: The Cry of the Innocent: A Shaken World, A Silent Church

Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, Pillars of Faith - The world has been shaken. A public death has jarred our conscience and cracked open our conversation. But hear me: we must not let the fire die.

Is Retiring to Florida Selfish? by Austin Ruse

By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine - I didn’t stay. On the day of my college graduation, I packed up my car and drove straight through from the University of Missouri to Washington, D.C. I probably stopped for gas... I left behind family and friends and roots. I bounced from D.C. to New York and back again. I returned to Virginia, where I was born, to set down roots with a wife but not until I was 47. At this remove, I ponder deeply the importance of staying put, of stability... When I was 14, my family moved to what I consider my hometown of St. Charles, Missouri; and I recall that all the boys I met had known each other since kindergarten.
