God Feels our Pain
God Feels our Pain
By Ralph Hathaway
Pain can be detrimental to our very existence, making every waking moment a type of crisis, not allowing us to function in the least of activities. But physical pain is not the only segment of one’s deterring movements, it sometimes is mental, spiritual, or psychological as well.

Just do good and we'll find a meeting point
Just do good and we'll find a meeting point
By De Maria
Have you read this in Scripture? Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Discouragement and Trust
Discouragement and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Recently I saw a furniture store that sold only unfinished furniture--at reduced prices, of course, since the customers had to stain and varnish the furniture themselves. All of the customers were aware that a task awaited them in order to make the furniture usable, or at least presentable. In the sight of God, we are all in some way unfinished furniture.

Questions Answered: Contraception
Questions Answered: Contraception
By Kevin Noles
Recently I was brought into a post on a friend’s Facebook where questions were being asked about why Catholics believe that contraception is against God’s will. Most Protestants believe that it is just fine to contracept and that this is between God and the couple.

Gratitude and Trust
Gratitude and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Most trail drovers of the Old West slept on open ground, amidst the cattle, but the chuck-wagon cook always slept on something soft under the protective cover of the chuck wagon itself. This was his traditional compensation for providing the cowhands with good chow. The drovers were typically grateful for the hot meals that he provided along their dusty trail.

Who are your Heroes? 1,000 Years of Denigration
Who are your Heroes? 1,000 Years of Denigration
By Scott Pauline
The Pope Benedict some time ago chastised Christian parents for naming their children after modern celebrities. I was just thinking of what Alice Von Hildebrandt was remarking several years ago, how society's heroes have digressed over the last thousand years

Petition and Trust
Petition and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A four-year-old girl whose father had been absent on a military assignment overseas for two years composed an original petition while reciting her nightly prayers: “Dear God, please send me a new baby brother, so that we’ll have something to surprise Daddy with when he gets home.”

Evidence of the Resurrection
Evidence of the Resurrection
By Nancy Marie Murray
Did the Resurrection of Jesus really happen? And does it really matter? Paul believes our faith itself hinges on the Resurrection, saying, “…if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sin.” (1 Cor 15:17). But why should it matter what the details are, as long as we all love God?

Water is Life!
Water is Life!
By Lorrie McNickle
Did you know that the water we showered with this morning is the same water that the Spirit of God hovered over in Genesis? The water we made our coffee with this morning could be the same water that parted the sea for Moses and the Israelites in the Exodus.

Humility and Trust
Humility and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A politician running for office, in his attempt to elicit a vote from a neighbor lady, listed his promises of reform if he were to be elected. “You are certainly my second choice among the candidates,” she said. Accepting the lukewarm compliment, the candidate asked whom her first choice was. “Anyone else who is running,” she smirked.

Did the Risen Christ Appear to his Mother?
Did the Risen Christ Appear to his Mother?
By Joby Provido
The Resurrection was not witnessed by anyone. Jesus did not gloat at his detractors by showing the glory of his Resurrection with blinding rays of light. Instead, as silent as he was born from a womb in the obscure town of Bethlehem, so was he “born” silently from a tomb as to humbly not make a big deal out of it.

After Lent: Don't Lose Your Momentum
After Lent: Don't Lose Your Momentum
By David Vermont
This year my Church has small note cards in the vestibule that say, “Don’t Give up Chocolate for Lent”. It’s part of a program being run to help Catholics make Lent more meaningful. I’m not involved in the program but it’s intent is obvious – try to make Lent about something more that giving up a small indulgence.

Hope
Hope
By Kenneth D'couto
I often wonder what heaven would be like, and when I do, images of loved ones long deceased basking in God’s love come into mind. I also wonder how different heaven would be than earth. One of the key components of an every day life on earth is hope; yet hope sees no purpose in heaven.

Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru
Saturday — the day between — the nothing day — the no thing day, no trials or scourging, no crying out or dying to even talk about it seems useless because that was yesterday, and today is just today, taking us to tomorrow.
