St. Isidore, Pray for Us!
By Melissa Knaggs | May 15, 2012
From the Liturgy of the Hours:
“Lord God, all creation is yours, and you call us to serve you by caring for the gifts that surround us. May the example of Saint Isidore urge us to share our food with the hungry and to work for the salvation of mankind. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”

Schools of Faith
By Melissa Knaggs | May 14, 2012
“It is no exaggeration to say that providing young people with a sound education in the faith represents the most urgent internal challenge facing the Catholic community in your country. The deposit of faith is a priceless treasure which each generation must pass on to the next by winning hearts to Jesus Christ and shaping minds in the knowledge, understanding and love of his Church. It is gratifying to realize that, in our day too, the Christian vision, presented in its breadth and integrity, proves immensely appealing to the imagination, idealism and aspirations of the young, who have a right to encounter the faith in all its beauty, its intellectual richness and its radical demands.”–Pope Benedict XVI to American Bishops, May 5
Given Pope Benedict’s recent reminder that renewal in Catholic education is imperative, there are a few good models in our country worth highlighting. One fine example of Catholic education is Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA. Below you’ll find an address to the students of TAC by the founding President, Dr. Ronald P. McArthur. In this enlightening presentation, Dr. McArthur gives a concise history of the college but also touches on key aspects of Catholic education.

St. Joseph the Worker
By Melissa Knaggs | May 1, 2012
Today as we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, we are encouraged to fulfill our duties with perseverance and humility. Imagine being St. Joseph, sharing a home with two perfect human beings–he could have easily copped an attitude of false humility, believing that all he did paled in comparison to the perfection of his wife and foster son. Rather, he did what was his to do faithfully and joyfully.
An article by Leon Suprenant on St. Joseph the Worker from our Lay Witness archives upholds this great Saint as an exemplary model for fathers today.
For more information on St. Joseph the Worker, tune in to CUF president Mike Sullivan’s interview with Sheila Liaugminas on Relevant Radio tonight at 6:15.
