On Saturday, July 2, 2016, the world lost Elie Wiesel at the age of 87. Wiesel, who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp as a teenager, lost many of his family members during the Holocaust, in which over 6,000,000 Jews and other marginalized members of society were mercilessly annihilated by the Nazi German regime. Wiesel most famously chronicled his plight in his now-classic book Night, orig...
Seeing through mercy changes what we see. With conferences for four distinct communities this summer (and two already completed), Notre Dame Vision has ventured into the mystery of mercy in three moments: revelation, reception, and response.
It is the LORD who keeps faith for ever, who is just to those who are oppressed. It is he who gives bread to the hungry, the LORD, who sets prisoners free, the LORD who gives sight to the blind, who raises up those who are bowed down, the LORD, who protects the stranger, and upholds the widow and orphan. It is the LORD who loves the just but thwarts the path of the wicked. The LORD will reign for...
Christ’s peace must reign in your hearts, since as members of the one body you have been called to that peace. Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness. Let the word of Christ, rich as it is, dwell in you. In wisdom made perfect, instruct and admonish one another. Sing gratefully to God from your hearts in psalms, hymns, and inspired songs. Whatever you do, whether in speech or in action, do it in the...

Come to me heedfully, listen, that you may have life. I will renew with you the everlasting cove...
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all just as we about in love for you. And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. (1 Thes 3:12-13)
A friend of mine graduated from college and started a volunteer program in a city far from home where she would...
Last night, our annual Symposium on Liturgy and the New Evangelization kicked off at Notre Dame (after we were first pummeled with heat, humidity, and an apocalyptic storm in which two inches of rain fell in 20 minutes).
The Center for Liturgy will be hosting our annual Symposium on Liturgy and the New Evangelization starting tonight at 7:00 PM in McKenna Hall at the University of Notre Dame. There are over 200 pastoral ministers, theologians, and publishers from around the country.
The following is an interview conducted with Dr. Michael McCallion of Sacred Heart Major Seminary on evangelization and liturgy from a sociological perspective. Dr. McCallion will speak at the Center for Liturgy’s 2016 Symposium on Liturgy and the New Evangelization at the University of Notre Dame from June 20-23, 2016.

I would venture to guess, though, that many of these same Catholic Millennials do not realize there is a long history of Catholic social action deriving from the “source and summit” of the Catholic life, the liturgical action. How are these two seemingly different aspects of...
