+ Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
This Mass today, like every Mass, is the celebration of the Eucharist. “Eucharist” comes from the Greek word eukharistia. It means “thanksgiving.” The trouble is, if we look unsentimentally at the direction of our nation, some of us may not feel very thankful.
We live in a time when [...]

Young adults and ‘secrets of the heart’
Posted on January 11th, 2013
In an address to Catholic Campus ministers this week in Florida, Archbishop Charles Chaput described the daunting cultural landscape facing today’s young adults, which makes campus ministers’ task of sharing the faith a complicated one.
Too often the Church has held on to the same institutional patterns of organization, the same methods of preaching and teaching that worked in a religion-friendly past, but can’t and don’t work today. Young people in search of meaning won’t choose Jesus Christ if they constantly encounter a faith life of worn-out structures in various stages of decline.
Emerging adults are the future of Catholic life in flesh and blood, the key to triggering a chain reaction of conversion and new zeal in the Church. All Catholics need to be and make a fire on the earth that consumes human hearts with God’s love.
