§ The Priesthood Today: We're All in This Together by James Martin S.J., American Catholic.org,

"Pope Benedict XVI has declared a Year for Priests. What is a Catholic priest? In what ways do we need priests today? How does one discern or choose a vocation to the priesthood? America editor, Jesuit priest and sometimes commentator on National Public Radio James Martin explains."

§ Sacrament of Reconciliation: Celebrating the Mercy of God, by Thomas Richtatter O.F.M., American Catholic.org,

"Catholics celebrate their faith through all of the sacraments. Among the seven sacraments, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, or the Sacrament of Penance, is an important key to the Catholic living. Vatican II helped Catholics to see this sacrament in a new way."
