Conscience and Newman-The Kindly Light of Conscience
John Henry Newman’s famous hymn Lead Kindly Light is a mirror reflecting his core teaching on the importance of the formation of conscience. Each section of this article has a sub-heading taken from the hymn to illustrate where the chosen phrase resonates within Newman’s sermons and letters.
The Papal Visit 2010 - Heart Speaks Unto Heart
Clare Ward, Home Mission Advisor for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, unpacks the meaning of the theme of the forthcoming Papal Visit offering insights from four different Gospel stories.
St Bernard of Clairvaux - Fully Human, Fully Alive
‘God’s business is mine; nothing that concerns him is foreign to me.’ So St Bernard of Clairvaux is reputed to have said.
Praying from the Heart - The Battle of Prayer
The heart is our meeting place with God; there we make ourselves present to God’s presence. Through entering into our heart, we begin to pray: we enter into familiar conversation with Jesus, and through him with the Father. As one spiritual writer well says, ‘Our lips and our mouth recite prayers, our intellect practices reflection and meditation, our heart and our mind are lifted up to God.’
Meeting God in Friend and Stranger
Faith Today met up with Archbishop Kevin McDonald to discuss the vision which lies at the heart of this important new document.
The Sacred Made Real
It’s 2pm on a Thursday afternoon, and the crowds are pressed up two-deep around the prone, blood-encrusted figure of the dead Christ. He lies on a bed of ruffled sheets, his head on a pillow, hair fanned around his shoulders and his eyes not quite closed.
Newman on Lent
Cardinal John Henry Newman, whose beatification we look forward to this year, preached a number of sermons on the theme of Lent.
Charity in Truth
Alive Publishing has the privilege, as a Publisher to the Holy See, to publish Pope Benedict’s latest social encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, which addresses the profound and far-reaching issues of human development.
Resurrection Joy
On the Day of Pentecost St Peter was a transformed man. He was once a coward; he was once weak, fearful and inarticulate; he was once easily confused, stubborn and dull to the truths of God. On the Day of Pentecost this changed forever.
The Power of the Resurrection
St Paul considered everything as utterly meaningless and worthless compared with possessing Christ. This brilliant and supremely able man, many years after his conversion, said that more than anything else he wanted to know Christ and the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:10). He wanted the transforming power of Jesus’ resurrection life to be ever increasing within him so that God’s grace and power would permeate his life and radiate out through him, and he would attain the very likeness of Christ himself.
