There’s a lot of good reflection out there, and since I have a million things to do, I beg your forgiveness for highlighting only one at this moment – feel free to add your own links to the comments. Jen at Et, Tu – former atheist, one of the best writers in the Catholic blog world:…

The final entries are up, including mine, here. It was moderately successful, hampered by the process – we submitted a post to an editor, the posting was all done by the Times, we didn’t always know when it was going to be posted…it didn’t make for give-and-take, more mini op-eds being posted throughout the day.…

        The Catholic Woman’s Book of Days is a 365-day devotional for Catholic women. It is loosely tied to the liturgical year, is a very handy size, and features special devotions for several saints. It is not structured to be tied to any particular year. So it’s sort of perennial. And no,…

I’m mentally wiped out and it might be a couple days before I can recoup. So…you fill in the blogger’s chair. Did you attend any of the events this past week? Stand on the street and see the Pope ride by? Concelebrate Mass? We’d love to hear your story – spread the word and invite…

Be nice!   (BTW, I’ve got CNN on, and John Allen and Soledad O’Brien, both Catholic, of course, are doing a good job of gently explaining what’s going on in a non-intrusive way.) Here’s the text of the homily: Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus tells his…

There’s loads of papal commentary – perhaps you’re overloading, as a result. But it should be no surprise that some of the sharpest stuff is to be found over at Godspy. Start with Angelo Matera’s spot-on summary of what Benedict is saying about American religion (and this was written midway through the visit – he…

The whole speech at the Youth Rally was…wonderful. Read it. (linked below). If you were watching it, you might have noticed that there was one point at which Benedict really drew on just a little bit more inner fire and spoke with more energy, making sure we understood how very important this was: Let your…

The Vatican has put up the text of the Pope’s off-the-cuff remarks at the end of Mass this morning. It is smoothed out and patched up..and changed: My response now for all that you have given to me during this visit is my blessing, which I impart to you at the conclusion of this beautiful…

First the text of the brief talk given to the children and youth with disabilities and their caregivers: I am very happy to have this opportunity to spend a brief moment with you. I thank Cardinal Egan for his welcome and especially thank your representatives for their kind words and for the gift of the…
