A History of Christian Unity. “May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you; may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that it was you who sent me. I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognize that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.” (John 17: 21-23)

"At the end of every seven-year period you shall have a relaxation of debts, which shall be observed as follows. Every creditor shall relax his claim on what he has loaned to his neighbor; he must not press his neighbor, his kinsman, because a relaxation in honor of the LORD has been proclaimed. You may press a foreigner, but you shall relax the claim on your kinsman for what is yours. Nay, more! Since the LORD, your God, will bless you abundantly in the land he will give you to occupy as your heritage, there should be no one of you in need. Dt. 15:1-6

Even Rats Demonstrate the Teachings of Jesus

Many years ago, I visited a laboratory at Northwestern University where a friend was doing research on rat skin cells.

She invited me to look into the electron microscope where she had placed a Petri dish full of the skin cells in a pink solution of nutrients. They looked like ticks, round with tentacles all around their membranes.

Advent Posadas

December 4, 2011, marks the first Sunday of Advent and the beginning of the Church Year. The next four weeks are a time of expectation and of looking forward to the celebration of the birth of Jesus on Dec. 25.

Haiti

Written by Sr. Joyce Kemp, r.c.
Almost four weeks have passed since the historic earthquake in Haiti Jan. 12. Since I fell and had to be taken to the emergency room on Jan. 11, I have been confined to quarters in order to recover from a concussion and a very black eye! Unable to read, I spent a lot of time watching news of the earthquake on television.

  • The Real Objection to the Pipeline Written by Connie Schmidt

  • VC is Hypocritical Written by Scott Shaw

    I am responding to, and have a question for managing editor, George Safford. Why is it okay for Mr. Safford to insult the Chronicles readers, but it is not okay for us to have an opportunity to properly defend ourselves? Your editorial policy is a disgrace to free and open speech.

  • A Letter to the Editor—And to All Who Knew Joe Voegtle Written by Jeff Carstens

    Joe Voegtle passed away this last week. The President wasn't notified. There won't be a plaque at an Ivy League university. The New York Times didn't carry a single word. But there is a little corner of the universe where, for a time, everything stopped – a little town that could pass for anywhere in the United States; the town where Joe plied his trade, raised a family, and touched the lives of those around him.
