The former chaplain of Legatus’ Jacksonville Chapter takes his reader on a journey to look at Jesus in a new way. Even though he’s the central figure in human history, Jesus really wants to be the central figure of every human heart, which withers when confronted with sorrow and expands when bathed in joy. Jesus came to flood our hearts with the joy that we all crave.
In her follow-up to Forming Intentional Disciples, Weddell brings together experienced leaders whose field-tested wisdom and enthusiasm for transforming Catholic parishes into centers of discipleship and apostolic outreach is both inspiring and practical.
Here’s the ultimate guide (or gift) for new Catholics! Those who just entered the Church or rediscovered the faith are often at a loss to participate fully in the Church, connect with their local parish, and understand all the “quirky” Catholic things they didn’t cover in RCIA or catechism classes.
When I was growing up in the ’70s, it seemed like good family movies arrived at our local single-screen movie theater every other week. Our family didn’t see many on the silver screen, but instead waited until they arrived on broadcast television (usually five to seven years).
In addition to serving as pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Fr. Daniel Scheidt serves as chaplain of Legatus’ Fort Wayne Chapter, which has witnessed extraordinary growth in the past year. He was attracted to the priesthood through education, and teaching remains his passion. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame, then spent time at the Casa Balthasar house in Rome. He later spent a year studying at the Pope John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in Washington, D.C., before entering seminary in 1997. He spoke to Legatus magazine’s editorial assistant Tim Drake.

Alleluia, the Lord is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia! With the Lord Jesus Christ’s resurrection, the world is changed. Sin and death are conquered and the gift of eternal life is offered to us.
How we integrate our faith and our work is a persistent question for Christians. The answers can be difficult to pin down and sometimes feel sentimental. How do we create a culture at work that’s infused with faith, while not being explicitly religious?
Born near Cuet, France, Pierre Marie Chanel worked as a shepherd boy and attended a small parish school. He attracted the attention of a visiting priest and was placed in a church-sponsored school in Cras. After reading letters from missionaries, Chanel was drawn to the missions. Ordained in 1827, his application to join the Society of Mary (Marists) was denied.
Legates are fighters. This should come as no surprise since most business leaders have Type A personalities. But we have a distinct advantage: the Catholic faith.
Silent, meditative prayer is a very special way in which we can dialogue with Our Lord. As we talk to him and listen to him, we come closer to him in the silence of our hearts.
