What are Our Lady’s promises to those who wear the scapular with devotion?
What is the difference between the brown scapular and other scapulars?
How does the preparation for investiture mirror the baptismal promises?
How can we wear the scapular as a public witness to our faith?

Integralism’s Need for Further Integration

On the duty of restoring all things in Christ: The Roman Rite celebrates...the feast (and, ideally, the octave) of Corpus Christi, a solemnity traditionally marked by public processions through the streets, bearing and adoring Our Lord Jesus Christ who dwells among us (Jn. 1:14) as the “king and center of all hearts.”

It is therefore a highly appropriate occasion for reflecting on the ways in which we have fallen short of the “restoration of all things in Christ” that is our biblical and papal mandate.

Such a reflection could take very many forms. Here, I would like to point out ways in which Catholics have made real progress in reclaiming the social kingship of Christ after its postconciliar eclipse—and the key step yet to be taken by those who are otherwise most committed to that sublime kingship.

Holy Family head is hero in new graphic novel that includes daily consecration to St. Joseph

Love St. Joseph and comic books?

The graphic novel The Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, by Marian Father Donald Calloway, is for you.

Each page is full of colorful details, with an engaging family of a mother, father and their five children who want to learn about St. Joseph. Along with the colorful graphics, the dialogue is lively and engaging.

Detailed illustrations by Sam Estrada include a scene showing a playful St. Joseph and a laughing Baby Jesus. Also included: what tradition says is the wedding date of Joseph and Mary.

As the presses were rolling, Father Calloway spoke with the Register about the appeal of this graphic novel.
