St. John Henry Newman was declared a saint of the Catholic Church by Pope Francis on October 13, 2020. His feast day is celebrated liturgically on October 9.

Just as the created world is full of order and one thing depends on another, God has created angels who serve Him in many ways. And He has provided each person with a guardian angel to protect him on earth and lead him to heaven.

Use of talents and accomplishments and all things we do with our time, including leisure, should bring us closer to God.

Zeal is a signature mark of belonging to Christ, but it must be tempered by faith.

Newman reminds us that Christ’s disciples should beware of the danger of riches and do everything for God’s glory.

Angels are the unseen powers behind nature. By contemplating them, we learn to fix our eyes on heaven.

Using the metaphor of a harp, Newman illustrates how we can give God praise by the music of our lives.

St. John Henry Newman tells why the celebration of Saint's days fell out of use, and why it is helpful for Christians to recover the practice of commemorating them.
