Advent of the Heart
Seasonal Sermons and Prison Writings - 1941-1944
Alfred Delp
Fr. Alfred Delp,S.J., was a heroic German Jesuit priest who was imprisoned and martyred by the Nazis in a Nazi death camp in 1945. His approach to Advent, the season that prepares us for Christmas, is what Fr. Delp called an "Advent of the heart." More than just preparing us for Christmas, it is a spiritual program, a way of life. He proclaimed that our personal, social and historical circumstances, even suffering, offer us entry into the true Advent, our personal journey toward a meeting and dialogue with God. Indeed, his own life, and great sufferings, illustrated the true Advent he preached and wrote about.

Into Your Hands, Father
Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us
Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen
In the spiritual life, we need a central idea: something so basic and comprehensive that it encompasses everything else.

Deacon rich, Deacon poor: Deacons in the Church in the U.S.



In 1967, Pope Paul VI issued general norms for the restoration of the permanent diaconate where requested by episcopal conferences. More than four decades later, 46 percent of the Church's permanent deacons serve in the United States. Today there are more permanent deacons in the Archdiocese of Chicago than in all of Africa and Asia combined.

At Catholic World Report, Jeff Ziegler takes a look at the permanent diaconate and how it affects the life of the Church in the United States, from major cities to rural communities. Deacons serve the poor and needy, participate in religious formation at all levels, and bring comfort to the sick and imprisoned. They also help make the sacraments more widely available, particularly in areas that may be experiencing priest shortages—although those are not the only areas that have seen an uptick in ordinations to the diaconate in recent years, as Ziegler explains.
