A Reflection for the Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent, by Joe Hoover, S.J.

I wish I could say I had some advice on how to do Lent better. But I also wonder if a certain sense of failure during Lent is actually a good thing.

Many of us rush to confess sins against others, but how many of our sins are really directed at ourselves?

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services may soon announce new regulations that would pose an existential threat to religious-based employers including Catholic hospitals.

Bishop Howard Hubbard admitted that he consistently transferred abusive priests without informing local police, families of abuse victims, or Catholics in parishes where the men were reassigned.

When talking about gun control policies, we must center our conversation around the sanctity of human life.

Malta and its people must remember the country’s roots as the center of spirituality and welcome, especially to those most in need, Pope Francis told leaders of the Mediterranean nation.

Francis has long desired to visit Malta where, according to the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul was shipwrecked in 60 A.D. while en route to Rome, where he had asked to be judged.

Watching “Servant of the People,” I find myself called to gratitude, hope and mourning.

When I look at the values Villanova exemplified in order to continue their success, two words come to mind: Augustinian and Christian.
