Cor ad cor loquitur: Heart speaks to heart

“Jesus then said to the Twelve, ‘Do you also want to leave?’” This question comes at the end of the Bread of Life Discourse in John’s Gospel. It is a very peculiar question as this is the only instance recorded in Scripture where Jesus asks his closest friends whether they will leave and desert him. What prompted Jesus to ask such a question? Why is this question so significant?

‘Come and see’: Healing Mass at St. Paul in Ham Lake

Father Jim Livingston, pastor of St. Paul in Ham Lake, has been offering healing Masses for nearly 30 years. He invites people to “come and see, come and see.”
Nate Bargatze and Mandy Moore star in a scene from the movie "The Breadwinner." The OSV News classification is A-II -- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG -- parental guidance suggested.

The Breadwinner — PG (A-II)

Nate Bargatze, best known for his stand-up work, co-wrote and stars in the domestic comedy "The Breadwinner" (Sony). Although mostly wholesome, the film is also, unfortunately, sorely lacking in laughs.
Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in a scene from the movie "Backrooms." The OSV News classification is L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R -- restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

Backrooms — R (L)

"Backrooms" (A24) is that rarity among contemporary horror films, an intelligent and unsettling psychological study that doesn't substitute wallowing in blood for the work of evoking real chills. While the movie is mostly free of graphic imagery, however, it does include some briefly intense mayhem.

The Holy Spirit helps turn the world upside down

When Pope Leo XIV became our venerable leader 13 months ago, I knew he was an Augustinian priest. I also knew I had St. Augustine’s book “Confessions” on my bookshelf, unread. In wanting to know more about this man, Robert Francis Prevost from Chicago, I decided to read this renowned tome and try to understand him and his papacy in a more informed way.
