Fr. Scott Steinkerchner, OP

Life hands us suffering, and solidarity with others means we take on even more. The question is what we reflect back: the suffering itself, or the sure knowledge that God is overcoming it and saving the world through it?

Mary stood at the foot of the cross and watched her son brutally executed, and we too will know sorrow.

Ezekiel's "watchman" prophecy, the delicate balance between fraternal correction and unconditional love, and Jesus' teaching on confronting sin within the Christian community.

How did Jesus respond to the violent death of John the Baptist? Not with revenge, fear, or hatred, but with love and compassion.

Choose love over fear, especially in our political discourse.

Fr. Scott unpacks what this young man really gave up — not just possessions, but family and community — and turns to his own mother to ask what it was like the day he left home to become a Dominican.
