La apostasía es la acción y efecto de apostatar. Apostatar, por su parte, significa abandonar o romper públicamente con la doctrina que se profesa.

Many roles in the Liturgy are exercised by lay people who place their time and talent at the service of the liturgical assembly as altar servers, lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, cantors, choir members, instrumentalists, leaders of song, and ushers.

Santa Mónica oró para que su hijo Agustín conociera a Jesús ... ¡y ahora él también es San Agustín! (Sus días de fiesta consecutivos son esta semana). Santa Teresita de Lisieux oró por un criminal condenado y se acercó a Jesús antes de morir. Mi abuela oró por mí ... ¡y me hice sacerdote! (Entonces hay esperanza para cualquiera... )

St. Monica prayed for her son Augustine to come to know Jesus, and now he’s also Saint Augustine! (Their back-to-back feast days are this week.) St. Therese of Lisieux prayed for a convicted criminal and he reached out to Jesus before he died. My grandmother prayed for me, and I became a priest! (So there’s hope for anybody… )

Listen to Fr. Phil's latest homily - Communion of Saints

El término "herejía" viene del griego heresis (=elección) que en la Sagrada Escritura aparece con el sentido de grupo o facción, o también de división. En este sentido adquirió ya un carácter negativo y condenatorio en los primeros tiempos de la Iglesia...

One of my favorite trips was spending a few days with my dad in Barcelona, in the north of Spain about 15 years ago. He and I both like to explore when we travel, and hit a lot of different sites, so we got to see a lot of the city. What really made an impression was the work of architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), especially the mosaics all around the city park, and the cathedral of the Sagrada Familia, which is still under construction almost 100 years later! Gaudí was a man of deep faith, which is evident in his colorful and unique work, as well as the devotion to his vocation by which he lived his life. His vision and work provided me and many others with a transcendent experience.

Si nunca has asistido a una misa de ordenación, ¡por favor hazlo! Es muy importante que el pueble de Dios participe. No solamente se trata de una de las celebraciones más hermosas de nuestra Iglesia, sino que también ¡el pueblo de Dios aprueba quiénes van a ser sus sacerdotes!

If you’ve never been to an ordination liturgy, please go! It is one of the Church’s most beautiful celebrations, to be sure. But even more importantly, God’s people should participate in an ordination because, to put it simply, God’s people have a say in who their priests are!

During the week of July 15th the Diocese of Raleigh hosted the 42nd annual convention of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM). Over 1200 musicians from Catholic churches around the country and even some from outside the US, assembled here in Raleigh at the convention center for a week of learning, fellowship, singing and praying together. The theme of the convention this year was, "That you may be healed," from a verse of the Letter of James.
