Word on Fire
Pray. Learn. Gather. Evangelize. Join the largest Catholic community online.
Bishop Barron started proclaiming Christ to the culture by airing his homilies on WGN radio, which was then the biggest station in Chicago. It was a great start, but he was only reaching Chicagoans who were awake at 5:15 a.m. on Sundays and listening to the radio! Since the homilies were pre-recorded, Bishop Barron responded to a friend’s encouragement and started housing all the homilies on a website. From there, because people could access the homilies anytime, anywhere, Word on Fire grew. It was a simple but powerful idea: spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through multiple media platforms, engaging people with the goodness, truth, and beauty of Catholicism.

Apostolic Pardon at the Time of Death
Apostolic Pardon Holy Card | Powerful Help For The Dying | APD
The back of the Holy Card reads: “Priests who minister the sacraments to the Christian faithful who are in a life-and-death situation should not neglect to impart to them the apostolic blessing, with its attached indulgence.” (The Manual of Indulgence)
Vatican News
Vatican News is the news portal of the Holy See.
Together with Vatican Radio, L’Osservatore Romano and Vatican Media, it seeks to respond “always better to the demands of the Church’s mission” in contemporary culture. Vatican News’s adventure began on 27 June 2015 with the Motu Proprio of Pope Francis that established the Secretariat for Communication, which today is a Dicastery of the Roman Curia.

The Surrender Novena: Let Jesus Take Care of Everything
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!”
This simple refrain captured my heart from the first time I heard it. I had never heard of the Surrender Novena—the prayer from which these words were taken—nor of Don Dolindo, its author, but I was so taken with this powerful prayer that I immediately wanted to learn more about both.
As it turns out, Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo was a contemporary and friend of someone I have written about many times: Padre Pio.
