Inside This Issue

 

What’s the Matter with Form?

It depends on the sacrament, of course, but the short answer is everything—and Aaron Sanders goes to the heart of the matter (and form) in this first of a seven-part series on the sacraments.

 

Gold Testament

One of the three altars in the Jewish Temple to prefigure the Catholic altar, the Golden Table, received bread and wine for sacrifice. Sound familiar? Brant Pitre explains it all.

 

Canon Aid

Msgr. Robert J. Dempsey studies the sacrament of marriage’s canonical development—including why the Church’s public witness is necessary whenever bride and groom say, “I do.”

 

We Do

When two become one, so should their prayer life. Caroline Smyczek provides three important steps all Catholic newlyweds should take to place prayer at the heart of their marriage.

 

Human Mass

In a review of The Mass Explained by Dan Gonzalez, Stephen Joseph Hill shows how the author leads readers to see the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as the fullness of their humanity.
