Gradual Relapse, Sudden Collapse
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
One of the most fascinating and dramatic of televised news events is the instant collapse of the dyamited skyscraper.

Will You Earn Angel Wings?
By Lorrie McNickle
“Your loved one has earned their angel wings” Eeick!!!!! That comment makes me want to scream, especially when I see it posted by someone who teaches in Catholic Education. I am not sure if there is any statement that so fundamentally demonstrates the ignorance and apathy of most Catholics in today’s society.

Obedience - the Virtue
By Linda Kracht
How and why does authentic obedience imprint God’s character on us? Let’s examine obedience — the virtue — this month. Yes, obedience is a virtue when practiced for all the right reasons and in all the right ways. But it can easily become corrupted through play-acting and pride.

Touchstone of Love
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
An opal is one of the less lustrous gems to be found in any jewelry store. But it is called the "sympathetic jewel" because it bursts into colorful iridescence when it is warmed by human touch.

Day 68 – The Ethiopian Eunuch
Day 68 – The Ethiopian Eunuch
By David Vermont
This is one of my favorite passages of scripture. The story is simple and straight forward, yet it is ruddy and real. You can almost see the dust being kicked up as the men travel the desert road.

Do You Choose the Rainbow or the Rainbow Flag?
Do You Choose the Rainbow or the Rainbow Flag?
By Lorrie McNickle
The rainbow is an everlasting sign and symbol from God of a covenant He made with His people during the earliest days of creation. It was a sign that God would never again destroy the evilness, and filth of sin with the cleansing waters of a flood; a flood that ravaged the Earth and destroyed all life, except a small chosen few of His faithful servants.

Listen Up!
Listen Up!
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Much of our astronomical knowledge today comes from listening rather than looking, The listeners are "radio astronomers" whose enormous antennas constantly scan the skies for squawks, beeps, and hums that reveal far more about the universe than the eye can see. It may even be the only way of detecting possible life in space.

Day 67 – The Laying on of Hands - Confirmation
Day 67 – The Laying on of Hands - Confirmation
By David Vermont
Today, I cannot emphasize enough, the importance of what we learn in the readings. Saul has begun the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem and the fledgling community is scattered. We see this has the opposite effect than Saul intended. The Gospel begins to spread outwards from Jerusalem

Take a Closer Look
Take a Closer Look
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
When violin strings were made of catgut and the bows were strung with horsehair, one unimaginative boor described violin-playing as "drawing the tail of a horse over the guts of a cat." That's enough to de-romanticize any tableside violin serenade!

Time Out in the Rat Race
Time Out in the Rat Race
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Ever think about "getting away from it all"? You might want to reconsider. Scientists discovered that laboratory rats exposed to only one week of conditions simulating modern city life- flashing lights, loud noice, crowding, and so on - demonstrate signs of irritability, aggressiveness, and permanent hyper-tension (high blood pressure). Imagine what these conditions do to humans over the course

Simon Peter, the Rock and the Pope
Simon Peter, the Rock and the Pope
By Ken Litchfield
The Pope is the visible head of the Church that Jesus left behind after He ascended into Heaven. Most of us know that Jesus said “You are Peter and on this Rock, I will build my Church” It is in Matthew's Gospel chapter 16 verse 18. Catholics see this as Jesus ordaining Peter as the first Pope, but non-Catholic Christians say that Jesus was talking about Peter’s Faith not his Office.
