Reflections on Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI; Mary's defining motherhood

Ecclesia Christi Midweek

Homilies

Father Brendan conveys Pope Benedict XVI’s teaching on true hope—the presence of God with us—while Father Justin examines Mary’s inimitable role as mother in the human formation that allowed Christ to become like us, and in turn, us like him.

Articles

In “Ratzinger Showed Us How to Love,” Father Brendan reflects on the congruity and harmony with which Joseph Ratzinger was able to love both in theory and in practice.

Witness

Father Justin recounts how Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI continues to inspire his own vocation—beginning with attendance at a Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI himself.
