How can I prove the Divinity of Christ, to a Jehovah, from Scripture?
How can I prove the Divinity of Christ, to a Jehovah, from Scripture?
By De Maria
I recently saw this question asked on the Internet. This is how I would respond. In my debates with Jehova Witnesses JWs), Evangelicals and other Non-Catholics, I don't try to prove anything definitively from Scripture.

Ephesians 4 and the Mass of the Assumption at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help
By Mary Rivers
The visible manifestation of Ephesians 4 in the twenty-first century was experienced here at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help on August 15. We, the participants in the Mass, procession, benediction, led by Bishop David Ricken, contrast the immoral world outside, as opposed to the “living stones” along the grounds of the shrine, growing toward the “fullness of Christ”.

"Virtue"- al Reality
"Virtue"- al Reality
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Phobias and panic attacks are being treated successfully with only seven weekly sessions by the use of virtual reality therapy at Georgia Tech. The new technology projects a phobic situation of apparent reality, helping the patient to be reconditioned gradually to a normal response to heights, flying, tunnels, and dogs.

Day 119 – The Anointing of the Sick
Day 119 – The Anointing of the Sick
By David Vermont
Today we read James chapter 5, which contains two blockbuster theological revelations. First, the anointing of the sick: Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Day 118 – Sins of Omission
By David Vermont
Just in case you didn’t understand what Saint James said in the previous chapters, today, in the last line of Chapter 4, he makes it as clear as he can: Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Are You an Eternal Risk-Taker?
Are You an Eternal Risk-Taker?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
About twenty percent of a ladder's cost covers the manufacturer's liability insurance on that ladder. We live in a dangerous world - and in a litigious society, for which everyone pays. There are physical risks for the buyer and financial risks for the seller. Even with all the breaks, life is a walk on very thin ice.

Day 117 – Who should teach?
Day 117 – Who should teach?
By David Vermont
James says that this is important because a teacher, if making only minor mistakes, can lead large groups astray. Who should then become a teacher? Not someone who is ambitious. Not someone who wants to lead.

But I want what they have!
But I want what they have!
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
I have heard it so often from children and teenagers: “I can’t wait until I grow up so I don’t have all these rules to obey.” As we all know, the rules increase as you get older. A short list of household chores and expectations from our mother and father grows into an unimaginable long list of rules and laws we have to obey as we get older.

Honoring our Dead: Catholic Funeral Rites and the Consolation Ministry
By Larry Peterson
The Catholic Church has a rich history of respecting and honoring all human life. From conception until death, the church considers each person as God's individual creation and therefore, sacred in His eyes. The funeral rites set in place by the church reflect the church's beliefs in these principles.

Day 115 – The Letter of James
Day 115 – The Letter of James
By David Vermont
Today we begin the Letter of James. It was written in approximately A.D. 60, most likely not by Apostle James but rather by James, a cousin of the Lord. James likely knew Jesus since childhood and he was present at the resurrection. He is mentioned elsewhere in scripture, particularly in Acts where he is identified as the head of the Church in Jerusalem.

Our Wayward Home
Our Wayward Home
By Greg Schlueter
Glenn Beck was talking about our nation’s demise. College riots. Racial tension. Extramarital sex. Addictions. Breakdown of marriage and family. And he offered reasons. Lack of economic opportunity. Politics. Education. While these are all contributing factors, they pale in comparison to the number one, epic factor in a child’s success or failure: Parenting.

What You Will Regret Most in Purgatory
What You Will Regret Most in Purgatory
By David Vermont
So what happens when we die? We know that when we die we will meet Jesus and be judged by the Lord. It will be a perfect judgment, perfectly balancing the demands of justice with God’s infinite mercy. As Catholics, we know that as a result of this judgment we will have one of three “destinations”. We will go to Heaven, Hell or Purgatory.

Day 114 – The New Creation
By David Vermont
Today we read the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Having told them every way possible why returning to the oppression of the Mosaic Law is a mistake; Paul takes the last part of his letter to remind them of what faithful Christians should do.

Beware of Hypothesis in lieu of Miracles.
Beware of Hypothesis in lieu of Miracles.
By Ralph Hathaway
Miracles occur often, but must be shown that they are beyond the scope of human intervention and if they cannot be attached to any possible explanation then they may stand as miracles, having divine intervention beyond the realm of man’s undertaking.
