Agnes Koenigsknecht had the look of an air-traffic controller, the one that strikes so many mothers of the bride. “We need one round table on the stage,” she instructed on a Friday morning in June, the eve of the big day. Her legion was in full force, a swirl of activity in the church hall: […]

Quote “We do not stop being missionaries of Christ when we go to the stadium or when we passionately follow the national team in front of any technological device. With all the joy and hope that emerge from our faith, we would like to accompany the faithful soccer fans with prayers, reflections and comments.” | […]
Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: Walk with me
I love June. It’s got my birthday, the NBA Finals, south shore swells, the World Cup (every four years), and … the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)! Two years ago, Stephanie and I joined the Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession which was started, in its current form, by Bishop […]
Manaolana | Lisa’s catechism corner: What is the Holy Eucharist?
YOUCAT*: Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament in which Jesus Christ gives his Body and Blood — himself — for us, so that we too might give ourselves to him in love and be united with him in Holy Communion. In this way we are joined with the one Body of Christ, the Church. [1322, 1324, […]

Manaolana | Lisa’s catechism corner: What happened on Pentecost?
YOUCAT*: Fifty days after his Resurrection, the Lord sent the Holy Spirit down from heaven upon his disciples. The age of the Church began. [731-733] After Jesus’ Ascension into heaven, the apostles eagerly awaited the arrival of the Holy Spirit. This arrival occured on what we celebrate today as Pentecost. The word Pentecost comes from […]
Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: Patron of the church
Following my wife’s inspiration again, we look at the Patron of the Universal Church, the saint recently added to the main Eucharistic Prayer. Soon, we will celebrate our fathers and for the first time I will be counted among them. I am anxious to see my son face to face. I’m not sure if I […]
Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: The handmaid of the Lord
I was unsure of what to write about and this time God gave guidance through my wife, Stephanie. Most would agree that it is natural for a man to take advice from his wife, but still many of us struggle with guidance from those closest to us, even when we know it will lead in […]
