Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.

Good morning, Digital Neighbors! Blessed Feast of the Sacred Heart from the wonderful world of Cath-o-landia! Today’s feast in the Church is a celebration of God’s great mercy. The Heart of the Redeemer is the symbol of His immense love for us and His desire to reconcile us to the Father and to one another.
I frequently remind my flock that forgiveness, contrition, and reconciliation are related realities, but they are not the same. The recipient of an offense can choose to be merciful no matter the attitude of the offender. I can choose to forgive someone even if they are never sorry for their offense or don’t possess a single bone of contrition in their body.
I don’t necessarily have to welcome people I forgive back into my life, and forgiveness is certainly not just ignoring the offense or injury and pretending it didn’t happen. Someone still embracing their offense, still feeding their addiction, or justifying their evil cannot be welcomed back into your life. Insulating and ...
