From my experience and conversations with other Legatus members around the country, most of us are regularly approached (i.e., solicited) to contribute financially to many causes. I assume that most members are generous — especially toward Catholic and pro-life causes.
In his new book, subtitled The New Testament and The Eucharist in the Early Church, Hahn examines some of Christianity’s most basic terms to discover what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers and their first hearers.
If you’re looking for a good summer read that jives with Legatus’ mission, this is it. Subtitled Be Not Afraid, Willits’ book encourages Catholics first to know their faith, and then to live it and share it authentically with others. That should sound very familiar to all members of Legatus.
Warmer weather is upon us and that means short pants, skirts and swimsuits. Many fret about the appearance of their legs because of spider or varicose veins.
The martyrs of Otranto are the Bravehearts of Italy. Their story starts with Constantinople’s fall in 1453. After destroying almost every vestige of Christianity there, Sultan Mehmet II set his sights on Rome
There’s nothing like taking a leisurely walk or bike ride on a beautiful summer morning to start your day in conversation with the Lord. A few years ago, I was doing just that when I spotted some graffiti on a bridge. It simply said, “Jesus Crutch.”
Rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Monsignor Arthur F. Valenzano is honored to be Legatus’ chapter chaplain in Baltimore, commonly known as “Charm City” because of its many neighborhoods’ history and unspoiled charm.

Legates Dick and Martha Lyles’ new book, subtitled Reclaim God’s Purpose for Faith, Family, and Work, is a Catholic response to Rick Warren’s best-seller The Purpose Driven Life.
Since 9/11, the West has been lulled into believing that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Muslims are an easy ally in the fight against global secularization. In his new book, subtitled The Great Chasm Between Christianity and Islam, Spencer writes that Christian groups, including the Catholic Church, recognize what is good and true in Islam, and their leaders rightly pursue common ground with all religions.
In his 2010 exhortation Verbum Domini, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged the practice of lectio divina, an ancient form of meditation involving prayer, study and action. In an exceptional combination of scripture study with historical, theological, and biblical perspectives on the creed, Binz leads readers on a journey of enlightenment and appreciation.
Nothing brings home to us the importance and value of human life more sharply than death. We seldom appreciate life until we realize how fragile it is, when friends and family are taken from us by death.
We live in a culture that perpetuates the myth that we can have a perfect life. Baby Boomers embraced the fable that they can control everything, including life and death. After all, technology has provided such great advances that children can be engendered on demand.
There’s a growing, disturbing phenomenon among business leaders and entrepreneurs. Perhaps you’ve noticed it among some of your acquaintances; perhaps you’ve even been tempted by it yourself.
