Begin by Saying Yes to the Lord

Posted on November 25, 2022 in: ADVENT

Begin by Saying Yes to the Lord
There are few things more frustrating as a parent than trying to give your child a gift or help them experience something new, but, due to fatigue, confusion, diaper rash or distraction, they aren’t capable of receiving the offer. They fight, scream and even beg for the thing you want to gi...

Let the Light of Christ Shine in the World
As the father of four young children, I am routinely subjected to the mild torture of car rides filled with the dulcet tones of children’s songs. Sure, “Silly Songs with Larry” and the occasional Disney anthem prompt my voice to join the cacophony emanating from the back seats, but...

How Do I Pray For Someone to Come Back to God This Advent?
First of all, don’t worry about what words to use when you begin to pray for someone who has been away from the Lord – from the Church – for a long time. Just talk to God about the situation as you would to a good friend. In your own words, tell God your fear, your concern, perhaps...

Relic of Christ’s Tunic to be Displayed for Pope Leo in France
The Holy Tunic will travel almost four miles from Argenteuil, France, to the pope’s youth vigil at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.   For the first time, a pope will witness an exposition of the Holy Tunic, the garment worn by Christ during his passion, which is preserved in the Basilica of Saint-Denis in Argenteuil, France. The special relic is put on display during regular expositions every 50 years, as well as on extraordinary occasions — the most recent being in 2023 — but it has never before been brought before a pope. Pope Leo XIV...

Pope Calls for Respect and Love Toward Those Who Think Differently
According to Pope Leo, the message of Gaudium et Spes on “the growing interdependence of men” is especially urgent today. VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV said Wednesday that the diversity of the world’s peoples “must not be considered as a danger or a threat, but rather as a resource for enrichment and growth.” He also criticized confrontational attitudes that, at times, “degenerate into violence.” “Conflict, which at times degenerates into violence, is the result of the power of sin and the way it conditions...

Connecticut Catholic Conference Promotes Federal Tax Credit Scholarship
Your voice matters. Let it be heard.   Beginning in January, a donation to an eligible scholarship-granting organization could help more students access the education that their families choose and that they deserve. The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit can help fund tuition assistance, tutoring, and other educational expenses for public and private school students—but only if the Governor opts in. These are supplemental, private funds that do not replace federal, state, or local funding. This week, the Connecticut Catholic Public Affairs Conference ...

40 Days for Life Sidewalk Vigil Comes to New London
It was a momentous day September 23rd, as we prayed our 40 Days For Life sidewalk vigil for the first time at the new Planned Parenthood in New London on 467 Ocean Ave. I was joined by Pat Coventry, Parish pro-life rep from St. Patrick’s in Mystic, and Carolyn Nelson, Parish pro-life rep from Our Lady of Lourdes in Gales Ferry. We prayed Rosaries as we walked back and forth on the sidewalk like we’ve always done in Norwich. But it was much different. As opposed to being a sleepy sidestreet, Ocean Avenue has a tremendous amount of traffic. And the response was...

Vigil Mass Opens Diocese of Norwich 40 Days for Life Campaign
A Peaceful Witness for Life The Diocese of Norwich began its 2026 observance of 40 Days for Life with a Vigil Mass on September 22 at the Cathedral of St. Patrick in Norwich, opening 40 days of prayer, fasting and peaceful witness for the protection of unborn life.
