Pearl of Great Price
By Carol Monaco
Life is a precious gift from God that needs to be handled with great care, otherwise it easily can be shattered by sin. When God gives us this gift, we have a choice: We can follow God’s way so that life can grow more beautiful and radiate God’s love upon everyone and everything in our lives—or not.

Go to Hell – but Only If You Choose to Go
Go to Hell – but Only If You Choose to Go
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The greatest love story the world has ever known is the paradoxical drama of a God who loves enough to hate evil. He loves us sinners as his precious children, and he hates our sin because it is the evil that poisons us. So in the book of Judges and elsewhere it is recorded that he disciplined Israel repeatedly in efforts to entice his people to abandon idolatry.

The End of "Stranger Things" in Our Home
By Greg Schlueter

Repentance and Forgiveness
Repentance and Forgiveness
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
All sin including that which offends our fellow humans, is ultimately an offense against God – a violation of his will as perceived (often inadequately) by the human conscience. Sin is therefore a rupture in a relationship between a rational (conscience-responsive) creature and his or her Creator.

The Spot Remover for Sin-Soiled Souls
The Spot Remover for Sin-Soiled Souls
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
As a youngster I thought that it was practically a law that every pet dog must be named Spot. That misconception was probably derived from the fact that all the dogs in our neighborhood had that name. In view of that bit of childhood history, I probably had a better-than-average laugh response to a TV comedian’s quip that he put spot remover on his dog and the little cur disappeared!

So What is Repentance?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Each of the defective forms of repentance entails one essential requisite for true repentance, although each is in itself incomplete – incapable of constituting the kind of repentance that “leads to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10), though taken together they do. Each one lacks a proper attitude.

Pope Denounces ‘Fake News'
Pope Denounces ‘Fake News'
By Bill Dunn
Recently, Pope Francis made an interesting comment. (Well, obviously that’s not a news flash. Pope Francis is ALWAYS making interesting comments, which invariably cause part of the Catholic world to gush, “Yippee, he’s abolishing all the rules!” and another part of the Catholic world to ask, in all seriousness, “Is the pope Catholic?!”)
