Faith Sparks: ‘Broken Open’ by a Journey of Grief

All Saints, All Souls, and the Hope of Heaven
The Quiet Beauty of November November begins with a quiet beauty. The air cools, the leaves fall, and nature itself seems to pause, reminding us that all things, even life, pass through seasons. It is fitting, then, that the Church dedicates this month to remembering the faithful departed, those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, yet still journeying toward the fullness of heaven. We enter this sacred time with two beautiful feasts that frame our hope and our prayer: All Saints’ Day on November 1st and All Souls’ Day on November 2nd. On...

In his first major document as pontiff, Pope Leo XIV has released a powerful call to action for the universal Church. His apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te (“On Love for the Poor”), promulgated on October 4, 2025, the Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi, and released in English five days later, sets forth a vision of the Church centered on compassion, humility, and solidarity with the poor. Building upon the unfinished work of Pope Francis, Dilexi Te weaves together the pastoral wisdom of two shepherds whose lives and ministries have been deeply shaped by Latin Ame...

The Catholic Medical Association: Upholding the Principles of the Catholic Faith in the Science and Practice of Medicine
The dilemmas are real, and our decisions cut deep. As medical professionals, we struggle to integrate our Catholic values into the practice of medicine. Here is just a sampling of the moral struggles confronted by physicians every day: Many physicians are inundated by requests for birth control prescriptions. Countless young women go to the doctor specifically for that reason, being quite upfront that they want the pills to avoid pregnancy and to “just have fun.” Many medical professionals now know that if they say no, their healthcare organization might disc...

CNA Explains: What Does it Mean to Be a Doctor of the Church?
The Vatican on Saturday named St. John Henry Newman a doctor of the Church. The 19th-century English saint — a former Anglican priest who converted to Catholicism — joined 37 other saints who have been given the same honor. Born in London and baptized into the Church of England in 1801, Newman was a popular and respected Anglican priest, theologian, and writer among his peers prior to his conversion to Catholicism in 1845. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1847 and later made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. As a Catholic, Newman deepened and contri...
