"Do Not Cling to Me--Let Me Go"
By Elizabeth Thomas
Daily in the papers, in the news, we hear of the numbers of those dying. World wide---every 5-6 seconds someone is leaving this earth. Traveling on.

Counterfeit Christianity
Counterfeit Christianity
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
The phrase “God is good” is parroted by many who identify as followers of Christ. That He is without question, yet oftentimes I’ve wanted to query “Do you truly know Him??”

Looking For Hope
Looking For Hope
By Mary Rivers
In this time of pandemic, darkness of mind, darkness of hopelessness, maybe even darkness of poverty, seem to color our days and nights. Sometimes we feel we are swimming in deep dark waters of hopelessness; some even feel this despair.

Truth and Love in the Face of the 2020 Election
Truth and Love in the Face of the 2020 Election
By Lorrie McNickle
Pretty intense Mass readings today, on Sunday, September 6, the 23rd Sunday in ordinary time. All three of them, minus the Psalm, as a matter of fact totally dismantle the whole notion of that Scripture quote we so conveniently love to embrace - "Who am I to judge?"

Priest Discovers He Is Not Catholic
Priest Discovers He Is Not Catholic
By Bill Dunn
Did you see the news story back in August about the young priest in Michigan whose baptism was invalid? Fr. Matthew Hood was watching old home videos from three decades ago, and as he watched his own baptism as an infant, he noticed the presiding deacon said, “We baptize you…” instead of the correct, “I baptize you…”

Take a Lesson from the Prophets
Take a Lesson from the Prophets
By Ralph Hathaway
How often we may hear or read about Old Testament prophecies where God has spoken his warning about the absence of following his commands. Too often the word he made known fell short of the people not willing to listen to his prophets, and his prophets failing as well.

Why Typology Matters
Why Typology Matters
By JP Nunez
Typology is a big part of the Catholic faith. The entirety of salvation history revolves around Jesus Christ, so it’s only natural that the story of Israel in the Old Testament would foreshadow the story of Jesus and the Church in the New Testament.

The Rules of Love:  The 10 Commandments
The Rules of Love:  The 10 Commandments
By Troy Kroening
This may seem absurd to some. How can a bunch of ‘thou shalt nots’ be considered the rules of love? Being so old, they may seem outdated. But I do not think the problem is that they are too old, but that they are not adhered to. When we teach our children how to live, we give them rules. Do this, but not this. In fact, we are giving our children rules to live by, but also rules to love by

What Is the Gospel?
What Is the Gospel?
By Bill Dunn
There is only one reason the Church exists, and no, it’s not to keep stained glass artists busy. Don’t get me wrong, stained glass windows are beautiful, and our worship experience is greatly enhanced when the sun shines through those gorgeous colorful windows. But that’s not why Jesus founded the Church.

Are You Following a ‘False Version of Jesus'?
Are You Following a ‘False Version of Jesus'?
By Bill Dunn
The other day I read an article on a Christian website that discussed “false versions of Jesus.” Here are some of those false versions of the Lord that people embrace nowadays:

Love Is Not Homogeneous
Love Is Not Homogeneous
By Dan Baca
The word “love” is one of the most over used and generic words in the English language. I can say I love to fish, and also say I love my wife and children. When I attend Mass I frequently hear the homilist say that God loves us and right after Mass, I can say that I love to go to the stadium and watch my favorite college football team play. So, the question is; what is love? The answer is that

Words are Funny Things – Especially in Church
Words are Funny Things – Especially in Church
By Bill Dunn
Have you ever noticed that many words sound similar, but have very different meanings? For example, a few years ago I was a Lector, that is, I was doing the readings at Mass. This is how I proclaimed St. Paul’s words from Scripture: “…our Savior, Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immorality to light through the Gospel.”

The Silent Protagonist
The Silent Protagonist
By Mar Camen
I am sure you have heard of the saying that a pen is mightier than a sword, and that may be right as words can injure us more deeply, than a sword’s wound, but among those powerful instruments to injure or to reach a human being is silence. No pens, no swords, but silence. How can that be?

No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
By Troy Kroening
In the agony of the garden, Jesus asks “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.” He sees His Passion before Him, yet He continues, “still, not my will but yours be done.” [Luke 22:42] He did not want to accept His Passion, but He would not separate Himself from His Father to do so. He lives out the prayer He gave us by submitting His will to ‘thy will be done.’

When life begins to matter
When life begins to matter
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Black lives matter, Latino lives matter, Asian lives matter, LBGTQ lives matter, Blue Lives Matter, all lives matter. In this “cancel culture” we are living in we are bombarded with phrases, protests, and politicians taking a stand on one side or the other. It seems there is an increasing pressure on the Church to take one side or the other.

Cafeteria Catholics
Cafeteria Catholics
By Ralph Hathaway
Cafeteria Catholics. This is a term hardly used since it enables those who are too Orthodox in their thinking to put others down who need to express their own feelings or consciousness of Church teaching.
