God reveals Himself to mankind not just through words, but also through deeds or events. The central deed of Revelation is the Incarnation of the Word and His Passion and Resurrection (the Paschal mystery).

Every year in Lent the Church directs our thoughts to Jesus on the Cross. This is the sacred center of everything we believe and celebrate as Catholic Christians. Take away the Cross and you take away our salvation. Take away our salvation and everything “good” about the good news of the gospel evaporates.

Prominent atheist Richard Dawkins stated, “a universe with a creative superintendent would be a very different kind of universe from one without.” We add this all-important insight: each kind of universe would entail a radically different notion of morality, as Dawkins himself demonstrates.

I think there is a special place in heaven for the genius who first dreamed up combining olive oil, garlic, and salt, with vegetables and high heat. Or, perhaps, he (or she) didn’t dream it up. Maybe it came to him through private revelation . . . or infused knowledge.

Looking for something good to read for Lent? We love to share our favorite books! Here’s what our staff is reading for Lent this year.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet the risen Christ? During the Octave of Easter, we’ll hear a series of Gospel readings about the Resurrection. On Easter Wednesday, we’ll read from Luke 24, when Jesus appears to two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
