Where Can You Find True Friendship?

Whoever is without love is without God, for God is love. (1 Jn. 4:8)

Sunset or Sunrise?
As I sat down to enjoy a breakfast cup of coffee recently on an out-of-town trip, I was caught off guard by a question that would challenge any early riser: How does it feel to preside over the demise of Jesuit higher education? Like it or not, I must admit that my questioner is not alone. There are
Confessions of a Residence Hall Chaplain
