Finding the Gospel in our Holiday Movies

Each Advent, as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, we’re drawn to the warmth of familiar Christmas stories. We dust off old DVDs, queue up streaming favorites, and settle in with cocoa, popcorn,and twinkling lights — yet beneath the nostalgia, many of these films quietly proclaim the Gospel. I’ve written before about "It’s a Wonderful Life" (Volume 35 Number 1) and its unmistakable parallels with the Good News: sacrifice, redemption, community, and the reminder that every life touches countless others. But it isn’t...

The Immaculate Conception does not refer to Jesus’ conception, but to Mary’s. It is God’s loving act of preserving her from original sin from the very first moment of her existence. This miracle is the unmistakable sign...

The Humble Servant – A Deacon’s Heart

Posted on December 03, 2025 in: News

305

The permanent deacon is an ordained minister who receives the Sacrament of Holy Orders and is called to a life of service to the People of God in the ministries of the liturgy, the word, and charity. The permanent deacon is called to be a living “image of Christ” (Imago Christi), called to “serve, not to be served.” Diaconate service can only be genuine when it is rooted in humility. Colin D’Amelio is attempting to create a film illustrating the humble heart of a deacon. Colin is the son of Deacon Dan and Kathy D’Amelio, D...
