July 29, 2016 by Cross Catholic Blog

    “You don’t know how good you have it!” my mother would say when I refused finish the piece of chicken on my plate. It was an argument we had throughout my childhood. Once I saw a vein or accidentally ate a piece of fat, I threw a fit.  Dinner was over. She commanded […]

Pope Francis and the Globalization of Indifference

August 13, 2013 by Cross Catholic Blog

Immigration is a hot topic in Europe, just as it is here in the US.  I recently read about a case there that touched me.  The small Italian island of Lampedusa is just 70 miles from Tunisia in North Africa.  This tiny island has attracted impoverished Africans seeking access into Europe where they hope to […]

I’m sure many people […]

A Conversation with Father Glenn Meaux

October 27, 2011 by Cross Catholic Blog

Scripture, sacraments, and the manifestation of bringing God’s love to the poorest of the poor—those are three of the most important elements of Kobonal Haiti Mission, says Father Glenn Meaux. I had the opportunity to sit down with Fr. Glenn and talk with him about why he founded the mission in 1989, what’s been accomplished, […]
