With the Year of Faith fully engaged now, I think we need to attend to three unavoidable questions whether we are teaching teens, adults, or expanding the horizons of our faith and understanding of the cosmos we live in.

To celebrate faith and culture in this Year of Faith, Rita A. Simmonds, a friend, is reading her poetry in a program Versed in Prayer, at St. Malachy's-The Actors' Chapel in NYC on 28 November 2012, 7pm.

Rita's poetry is frequently featured in the monthly MAGNIFICAT magazine. Her work is award-winning.

Versed in Prayer is MAGNIFICAT's way of celebrating the Year of Faith following upon the invitation of Pope Benedict: "Faith is God's gift and transforms the person deep within. Confessing with the lips in turn implies public testimony."

Versed in Prayer will be moderated by MAGNIFICAT's Editor-in-Chief Father Peter John Cameron, OP with the abled assistance of Jonathan Fields on guitar and photography by David Galalis.

The event is free. No tickets required. More info found here.

Those of us who follow Communion and Liberation already know what is ahead of us for the Year of Faith: we will closely follow the teachings of Pope Benedict for the Year of Faith.

Father Julián Carrón, President of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation told us several weeks ago that a good portion of our work in the School of Community in the coming year will focus on what Pope Benedict says in his General Audiences given on Wednesdays.

Rome Reports has video news.

The texts of the Pope's teachings will be found on Zenit news, or posted on the Vatican webpage.
