Posted by Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P. on March 05, 2011
Yves Simon (1903-1961)
Political events in the Middle East and North Africa have turned the world's attention once again to the high questions of philosophy: What is man? What does he know? What should he love? How is he free? These questions arise naturally any time serious consideration is given to the nature and function of government in human society. For weeks now, masses of protestors in Cairo and elsewhere have… » More

Andrea Bocelli's "piccola storia"
Posted by Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P. on June 09, 2010
During a recent concert in Haiti, Andrea Bocelli paused between songs to tell his audience a very personal story---a "piccola storia", as he called it---in which he encouraged struggling mothers to make the "right choice" and choose life for their children. Greg Burke of Fox News reports:
Singer Andrea Bocelli, one of the best-known Italians in the world, has publicly thanked his mother for not… » More

"The World Needs the Cross"
Posted by Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P. on June 08, 2010
Pope Benedict XVI passes through a demilitarized zone to enter the Church of the Holy Cross in Nicosia, Cyprus, on June 5, 2010.
During his recent apostolic voyage to Cyprus, Pope Benedict XVI paid tribute to the priests, religious, catechists, and lay movements of the country by offering for them a special votive Mass of the Holy Cross. In his homily, the pope encouraged his listeners, many of whom contend daily with the political and religious strife of the region, to root their pastoral service and lay witness in the salvific… » More

In Service of the Faithful's Obedience to Christ

Pope Benedict XVI at the conclusion of his General Audience on May 26, 2010.
During yesterday's General Audience, Pope Benedict XVI concluded his brief examination of the priest's exercise of the tria munera Christi---the three offices of Christ---by focusing on the pastor's duty to govern the portion of the Christian flock entrusted to him. Like many of the texts he composes, the Pope's reflection is worth a slow and deliberate reading. His remarks yesterday offer the… » More
Saint Augustine of Canterbury (+604)
A Model of the Mixed Life
Posted by Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P. on May 27, 2010
Icon of St. Gregory the Great and St. Augustine of Canterbury by the hand of a Monk of Chevetogne, Belgium.
The saint honored by the Church today held together in himself two aspects of the Church's life that at first glance appear disparate. As a monk, St. Augustine observed diligently the rigors of the regular life. He belonged to, and eventually became superior of, St. Andrew's Monastery in Rome, which had been established by St. Gregory the Great on his family's estate. Soon after the monastery's… » More

All Roads Lead to Rome
Posted by Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P. on May 21, 2010
Fr. Rick Jastrzebski, O.P., Fr. Benedict Croell, O.P., and Fr. Anthony Giambrone, O.P.
According to the old saying, all roads lead to Rome. This has been true for many saints in the Church's history, including St. Dominic who traveled to Rome several times to gain the approval of his new order from Pope Honorius III. Since then, generations of Friars have followed in the footsteps of St. Dominic: to preach, to study, and to serve the Church in the shadow of the throne of St. Peter.… » More
