Commentaries

The Kicking Patient

At its core, the parable urges us to look past people’s anger to their pain, continue loving without recognition, and remember that both we and others are healed by Christ’s patient, restorative love.
  • Dr. Rosemary Varghese reflects on the recent Hijab Controversy to navigate the communal division India recently faces right from school settings in the educational institutions to the political propaganda of the fringe groups. She recalls nostalgic memories of yesteryears of children of different faith communities who grew with a sense of friendship. Dr. Varghese proposes a holistic approach where each can feel safe, respected, and treated with dignity.
    Commentaries

    Opinion: The Hijab Controversy

  • The first unwritten scripture was coded in silence, millions of years ago, before humans arrived on this planet.  That continues to be the language of creation.  God’s mother tongue must be silence! The word spirituality starts with the word Spirit who communicates through the medium of silence. God is attuned to earless hearing and wordless speaking.  I regard silence held in love as the best prayer ground before God
    Commentaries

    God’s mother tongue must be silence!

  • The call for 'synodality' is an invitation to re-define who we are. All the roles we play, keep us away from our true selves. Two particular roles have separated 'frattelli tutti' from one another. The deepest and an almost unstoppable gap is created with gender roles.
    Commentaries

    Together Towards Oneness

  • Father Ittoop Panikulam, SVD,  seeks to incarnate hope reflecting on the life of Jesus – littleness can make all the difference.
    Commentaries

    The Spirituality of ‘a little’ versus ‘the more’

  • A Myanmar priest opens up to describe what hope would look like for people under dictatorship for almost seven decades.  The priest hopes for something unknown to bring us joy amid the recent military coup. Like Mother Mary, the Myanmar people do not know the future. But young priest invites fellow pilgrims to hold hands and move towards what we are hoping for and accept the situation like Mary. The author looks for great things to happen in Myanmar with just hope the month of December brings.

    Why "December is a Holy Month of Hope" for people of Myanmar

  • Stop Child Pornography Protest
    Commentaries

    Papal call against pornography must resonate in Asian churches

  • Knowing that the newly introduced radical idea of synodality, with a hope to sow the seed for a new future, with an undercurrent of ‘Fratelli tutti” would need the right, open, flexible, hopeful and ready to change mindsets.
    Synod on Synodality

    A Synodal mindset and a story of ‘the And’

  • The author reflects on the importance of the solemnity of Christ the King in the context of the Season of Advent, revealing the meaning of kingship and messiah. Each Advent, we renew our hope that the King to come will free us from afflictions.
    Commentaries

    How is the feast of Christ the King connected to Advent?

  • Why pay attention to stages of spirituality? You can better understand and progress to encounter Jesus in fullness.
    Viewpoint

    Three Stages of Spirituality: Which Stage Are You?

  • It is not uncommon for grieving loved ones to experience what psychologists call “After Death Communication,” in which the bereaved believe that they see, hear the voices of, or even smell their dead loved ones.  These experiences, sometimes called “bereavement hallucinations,” can be healing and comforting for those who grieve, multiple studies have found.
    Commentaries

    Should Catholics talk to their dead loved ones?
