On Tuesday, August 4, we celebrate the annual feast day of St. John Vianney, the Curé (pastor) of Ars, and we reflect on the wonderful life of this extraordinary saint who gave his whole life to being a holy priest.
Every July, the Church commemorates St. Paul VI’s encyclical on the regulation of birth and human life, Humanae Vitae, which was published 52 years ago.
I would like to appeal to an example that we experience so regularly and routinely that we risk taking it for granted: the rising and the setting of the sun.
