When You First Start Out In Protestantism
When You First Start Out In Protestantism
By Scott Pauline
When you first start out in Protestantism and you don't assume that the Spirit is completely with you and tells you everything without error, unlike the 999 other Protestant forms of religion that just aren't as holy as you, or aren't as conservative as you, or haven't read the Bible as many times as you,

Pray with your whole heart!
Pray with your whole heart!

Do you want to move mountains? Well, you can. “Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – [Matthew 17:20] Jesus’ disciples wondered why they could not drive a demon from a boy. He rebukes the demon and when the disciples ask why they could not, He tells t

Are you as courageous as the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
Are you as courageous as the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
By Troy Kroening
Back at the time of the Declaration of Independence, the signers became the most wanted men. The British wanted to make an example of these men. The signers knew this. John Hancock’s large signature seemed to be a taunt to the British; “come and get me”. These men had courage and lived in hope that their courage could overcome tyranny.

Hate is not your friend.  It will only destroy you.
Hate is not your friend.  It will only destroy you.
By Troy Kroening
Hating a hateful person is also hate. Many of us feel justified in our hate because we are only hating the hateful people. You know, them. But hate will get us nowhere. We all know this. Yet hate stirs up within us. It starts as anger and then gets twisted into hate. Anger towards a wrong, like hate, is justified. But allowing anger to become hate itself worse; we now have more hate.

How can we make it through this?
How can we make it through this?
By Troy Kroening
With this current pandemic and the chaos in our country, it seems too much for us to confront. Our lives can feel that way sometimes without a pandemic or nationwide chaos. We can feel like we are sinking in the sea. But we need to focus on what, or more specifically Who, has conquered the chaos in our lives. Just as Jesus can rebuke the winds, He can conquer the troubles in our lives too.

Gratefully "Into the Wild Blue Yonder"
Gratefully "Into the Wild Blue Yonder"
By Sr. Christina M. Neumann
In doing a little research for this post, I realized that the titular phrase refers to air rather than water, being from the air force hymn. Oh well, for some reason, this patriotic song popped into mind while I was swimming this afternoon. (I suppose a musical program from the recent Fourth of July holiday probably had something to do with it.)

Who is God?
Who is God?
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
A mother was baking cookies in her kitchen when her 5-year-old daughter’s voice cut through the smell of chocolate chip. “Mom?” “Yes?”, the mother replied, expecting the child to ask for a cookie. “Who is God?”

The Root of Evil
The Root of Evil
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
The world around us is dark. Between COVID restrictions and regulations, protests, riots, vandalism, and destruction of religious statues, it seems the world gets darker with each day. If you dare to turn on the news it could seem like all the good in the world is a surfer who is about to be drowned by a tsunami sized wave in the ocean. There are questions that seem to be screaming for answers.

What Is Heaven Really Like?
What Is Heaven Really Like?
By Bill Dunn
In recent weeks we’ve discussed the Christian belief in life after death, and Jesus’ promise that those who put their faith in God and seek to follow His commands will live forever in Heaven. However, we don’t spend too much time, if any, discussing what Heaven is like. There’s a good reason for that: the Bible is very vague about the details of Heaven.

The Catholic Church—Saying "NO" to a World Screaming "YES"
The Catholic Church—Saying "NO" to a World Screaming "YES"
By Larry Peterson
How did the precepts of ethics and morality, based on the Ten Commandments and the "Golden Rule", become a pariah to so many? How did these principles ever become inverted? Why have they seemingly been tossed by many into the dumpster of the outdated and irrelevant?

The Unfailing Way to get out of Purgatory---Turn to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Unfailing Way to get out of Purgatory---Turn to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
By Larry Peterson
There is a place near where the prophet Elija lived, and it is one of the most biblical places on earth. It is 1,742 feet above sea level and hovers high over the coast of the Mediterranean. It was here where Elija prayed to God, asking Him to save Isreal from the onslaught of an ongoing drought.

A Transformational Journey
A Transformational Journey
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
I will always thank God for His gift of life, and with it, the capacity to change. His Word succinctly states in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that “If any person be in Christ, they are a new creation. Old things have passed away, behold all things shall become new.” That verse has applied to my life in every extent, nevertheless there are times that I grieve in my recollection as to what and who I was

No Peace, No Justice!
No Peace, No Justice!
By Nancy Marie Murray
The Lord is good and forgiving, offering each one of us, His beloved children, every chance to repent and turn back to Him. Yet in today’s world, so many reject His loving offer and turn to violence and anger, seeking revenge rather than peace and forgiveness. The mantra “no justice, no peace” is reversed in God’s merciful message in today’s scripture,

I AM so SAD!
I AM so SAD!
By Elizabeth Thomas
And, I am not alone. What ails us Lord? Seeking God, as I cried last night, the words to a song came to my heart. "I the Lord of the sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin My hand will save. I who made the stars of night I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord."

A Feel Good Faith
A Feel Good Faith
By Lorrie McNickle
We must really stop it, we must really stop make superficial our Faith by sentimentalizing it. We are so addicted to our emotions and so we have become quite good in the past several decades of preferring nice, and reassuring quotes, memes and expressions in an effort "feel" better.

Jesus Can Handle Our Burdens
Jesus Can Handle Our Burdens
By Bill Dunn
The Fourth of July. Independence Day. It was Saturday, July 4th, when our parishes here in Connecticut had their first public weekend Masses since early March. It was a wonderful experience. Attendance at the 5 p.m. Vigil Mass was limited by design. Everyone wore facemasks. Every other pew was blocked off, so folks kept at least six feet from each other. Rather than incense, the smell of hand sani
