The Mother of Fair Love
By Robert Atkinson, M.I.
What does ‘Full of Grace” mean? Where does it come from? The answer is found in scripture!

The germ of the title “Full of Grace” was applied to the mother of the Messiah in about 200BC, by Joshua the Son of Sira!

If You Were for Sale, How Much Would You Cost?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
During certain periods in ancient Rome almost any male slave could be purchased for two jars of raisins. For some people, the value of a human being hasn't changed much since then.

Hollywood and the Beasts of Revelation
By Peter Darcy
Hollywood has dished up some horrific monsters in the past hundred years. You can name them as easily as I can: Godzilla, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Alien, Frankenstein, Harvey Weinstein, etc. All but the latter were creations of someone’s fertile imagination.

Nothing to Squawk About

Giving up one's life vs. the "me" culture
Giving up one's life vs. the "me" culture
By Joby Provido
When people talk about Christ dying for us, sometimes the term “giving up his life” is used idiomatically, and rightly so; but we might forget that he did give up his life in the literal sense too.

Gumshoes Accuse - Gum Chewers Lose
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
