Looks like John the Baptist is on his way to Denver… Recently named one of the top 10 most sinful cities in the United States , Denver must be poised for an Advent visit from everyone’s favorite locust and honey eating saint-prophet-preacher. “Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” might be the new rallying cry on 16th Street Mall, at Empower Field at Mile High, or at Ball Arena… WalletHub, with the help of a panel of experts, analyzed 182 cities across seven dimensio

Duccio di Buoninsegna, The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew, 1308-1311 Growing up, my dad’s job at Rocky Flats made our family move around a lot. I transferred schools every year from the 2nd grade until the 8th grade. More than anything, I desired a “best friend” and simultaneously considered the pursuit of one to be a fool’s errand, a feat of impossibility. Thus, friends were easy-come, easy-go realities of social self-occupation. So when Jesus claims, “but I have c

The Light of the World, François Boucher, 1750. God has given us a portrait of the virtues in the life of the Holy Family. Unlike a static, cracked ancient stone, we find in their hearts a living icon of fidelity in hardship, stemming from complete openness to the grace of God. We can follow them not only in the “school of Nazareth,” as St. Paul VI expressed their daily routine of prayer and work, but, as we approach Christmas, we can join their steps to Bethlehem and Jerusal

In an age characterized by a general decline in religious practice and faith, Christians are called to introduce the world to Jesus. The evangelization effort takes on a new urgency when one recognizes that Christendom, the age in which society’s imaginative vision is based in the Gospel, has ended. The Church exists in an apostolic age, characterized by a need to instead go out and preach the Gospel. A packed church in Denver considered this very message with Msgr. James She

By Father Greg Cleveland, OMV Director of the Lanteri Center for Ignatian Spirituality Decisions matter. Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. We all know how difficult it can be to make decisions, and sometimes we prefer not to make them. Fortunately, we are not alone in making our choices. God comes to our aid with his Holy Spirit and equips us in myriad ways so that we can do his will. During the Archdiocesan Discernment Process, we have been co

Did you know that God still speaks today? Have you ever asked yourself that question before? God, indeed, still speaks today! This conviction was fundamental to the whole archdiocesan discernment process. Throughout all the planning, the Synod Team never doubted that God would speak clearly to all of us, but the question was “What will he say?” The parish phase of the discernment process took place in January and February and asked God to reveal his mission for the archdioces

Richard, a neighbor of Sir Thomas, was on break from Cambridge and had recently been introduced to the thought of Machiavelli, advising to do whatever it takes to get ahead. Richard doesn’t want to go back

(Photo by André Escaleira, Jr.) What if Catholics didn’t have to choose between God and mammon? This tongue-in-cheek question serves as the inspiration behind a Catholic co-working space, coming soon to the Knights of Columbus Hall in downtown Denver. The space, currently being renovated, would be one of few such collectives in the nation; organizers said that the only other they could find was in Cleveland, Ohio. The idea is a return to an apostolic view of work. “The apostl
