Cardinal George:
‘Spiritual exercises and prayer are not a form of self-affirmation. True spirituality is life with God; genuine prayer is raising the mind and heart to God. Christian prayer is turning to God through Jesus Christ with love in our heart. All of that we do in praying the rosary The repetition of prayers we know by heart takes us beyond words to fill our minds with thoughts of the wonders God has wrought for us.’

Tom Sheridan: Boo to peace, love: On a recent Friday, I was at Cardinal George’s North Side residence waiting for him. He had a speaking engagement and I was going to take him. The cardinal was a bit late, hardly unusual for someone whose daily schedule reads like a commuter train: one station after another. Read Observations.


There are often misunderstandings in the way the church is governed, especially when such governance is compared with our everyday experience. Archdiocesan experts in the Code of Canon Law explain how - and why - church law developed and how it functions.

Charities’ challenge: Teaching mothers to be moms
When Ajai Daniels found out she had pre-eclampsia and would have to deliver her baby two months early, her first call wasn’t to the baby’s father or to her own mother.

It was to Yvonne Lee-Wilson, her caseworker in the Parents Too Soon program at Catholic Charities’ Jadonal E. Ford Center for Adolescent Parenting in Roseland.

“She prayed with me, and she calmed me down,” said Daniels, a 15-year-old sophomore at Tesla Alternative School.



C. Preston Noell III: “Youth is made for heroism, and I saw it as a calling, and I threw myself into it. I never regretted it.”



When the bells in the tower peal, one is drawn to St. Anthony’s. Not many doctors or lawyers here, just hard-working people greeting each other and praying on their knees.
