The Abigail Principle
The Abigail Principle
By Jean Smith
One of the first prayers that I learned as a child was the Lord’s Prayer. I was perplexed by why we said, “Forgive us our trespasses.” Why do we say, “Us”? Jesus gave this prayer to me, I thought. So why don’t we say; “Forgive me my trespasses”?

My Mother, Our Advocate for the Now
My Mother, Our Advocate for the Now
By Olivia Swyden
As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I started talking to Jesus, telling Him about my bodily woes of that moment, asking Him to take it away if that was His will. I felt like He was telling me “You hurt now, yes, but there will be a day where You are with Me and no longer feel pain. Worry not about your body and continue to focus on your soul.”

By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
At the daily Mass celebrating the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, I was enthralled by the way Fr. Chris Kanowitz began his homily for this day. This newly ordained priest has a gift. One I have written about elsewhere.

There's No Love Like Christian Love
There's No Love Like Christian Love
By Victoria Pangia
I call myself a Christian because I believe that our faith has the purest and most authentic definition of love. Let's take a deeper look into the way that the Bible defines love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Calling All Lovers
Calling All Lovers
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Love-communication is ineffectual if it is not heard. For those who truly "know" him, God's love-calls are heard in spite of the abounding raucous noises of worldly distractions. "His sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they...do not recognize a stranger's voice" (Jn 10:4-5).

Day 135 – Help My Unbelief
By David Vermont
Today we read some of the most simple and profound words of the Bible. They aren’t spoken by Jesus, but rather by a father out of parental concern for his son. All his life, the son has been possessed by a demon. The father has asked the disciples to cure the son and they could not. Now he has come to Jesus begging for help.

Selling Out on the Good Fight
Selling Out on the Good Fight
By Lorrie McNickle
There is a big difference between loving and supporting people and loving and supporting their sinful lifestyles. Condemning sinful actions, behavior and lifestyles is the loving and Christian thing to do. Jesus ate and hung out with sinners, and as he did this, he transformed them. He didn’t do that by being tolerant of their sin!

By David Vermont

Safe in the Everlasting Arms
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F

The Politics of Corn, Codfish, and Cranberries
The Politics of Corn, Codfish, and Cranberries
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
History is replete with events spawned by the ravaging effects of anger, in the form of economic retailiation, violent retribution, and even internecine wars. Less frequently, efforts to subdue the anger of a protagonist have been fortuitous, as "wise men turn away anger" (Prv 29:8).
