In honor of John Henry Newman’s 200th birthday today government offices are closed, many of us have the day off, and Fr. Juan Vélez reflects in our second  On the Square essay on what Newman can teach “the average person striving to live a Christian life in a secular world.”

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.

Make your year-end gift now using this secure link or the button below.
