This is an unexpected surprise! ❄️

How can a tiny baby have Original Sin? Once you understand the difference between Actual Sin and Original Sin, you realize the importance of Baptism. What a gift!

Ever feel like your faith is getting a bit "heavy"?

This Friday, March 27, marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Mother Angelica, foundress of EWTN. EWTN chaplain Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe shares a memorable story of how she built a monastery in Irondale, overcoming obstacles and even “moving a mountain” to complete it.

"A beautiful day for the MFVA community! Br. Pier Giorgio made his first vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. As Father Leonard said, it’s a return to 'baptismal innocence.' youtube.com/watch?v=vPqLns…

Today, we pause in prayer and deep gratitude to mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of our foundress, Mother M. Angelica. Though she left this world a decade ago, her legacy of faith, her reliance on Divine Providence, and her unwavering call to holiness endure.

Our friar priests joined Bishop Steven J. Raica and their brother priests from across the Diocese of Birmingham today for the Chrism Mass.

As we approach the holiest time of the liturgical year, we invite you to join us in celebrating the Sacred Triduum in the EWTN Chapel.

In this week’s "Inside the Friary," Fr. Leonard walks the Stations of the Cross sharing personal reflections on what Jesus’ journey to Calvary teaches us about our own daily struggles. youtube.com/watch?v=UfXJRP…

Looking back on a powerful start to Holy Week. This past Palm Sunday, Fr. Matthew had the unique opportunity to bring the Mass to Barber Motorsports. Special thanks to the crew for the warm welcome. 🏎️🙏

We know Him as Lord. We know Him as God. But have you sat with the fact that He calls you friend? Jesus shared His life, His pain, & His last meal with us so we would never have to wonder if we are loved. This Holy Week, lean into the compassion of a God who became man for you.

A beautiful and solemn Mass of the Lord's Supper this evening at the EWTN Chapel.

Praying the Stations of the Cross this morning in the EWTN Chapel.

On this Good Friday, we look at the wounded Christ. But look closer. Behind the excruciating pain is a love that is rising, growing, and finally overflowing.

Scenes from today’s Liturgy of the Lord's Passion from the EWTN Chapel. Let us keep watch in prayer as the world waits in the stillness of the tomb. 🙏

There is a unique pain in the "in-between." After the cross, but before the resurrection, there was the tomb, a place of complete darkness and heavy silence. If you are in a season where following Jesus feels exhausting or empty, don't lose heart.

He is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia! A beautiful night at Casa Maria with the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word. May the joy of the Risen Lord fill your hearts this Easter season!

We usually measure our love by our closest relationships. But the true measure of our heart isn't how we treat our best friend, it’s how we treat the person we find it hardest to love.
