Fortitude Sister of Prudence, Justice and Temperance
Fortitude Sister of Prudence, Justice and Temperance
By Linda Kracht
The focus on fasting, almsgiving, self denial, and the penitential practices of Lent will soon give way — at least for most faithful Lenten observers — to the celebration of the greatest and oldest Christian Feast known as Easter.

Will You Choose to Please Him?
Will You Choose to Please Him?
By Tanya Janoski
The topic of abortion is one not many want to discuss regardless of the position on the issue one stands. Our politically correct society fears offending man yet has no fear of offending God.

God So Loved The World
God So Loved The World
By Jean Smith
Lent is one of my favorite parts of the Liturgical year for with it comes a sense of renewal and spiritual growth. On the third Sunday of Lent our church choir that I sing in sang one of my favorite anthems that I learned back when I was in High School. “God So Loved The World” As we sang this song I reflected on the idea that God’s love for us is immeasurable. It goes beyond our human underst

Endurance and Trust
Endurance and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Endurance is simply continued exertion; it implies not just strength but sustained strength, especially for periods of extended hardship, such as prolonged illness, perhaps along with intractable pain, or prolonged unemployment, or enduring years without fulfillment, or frustration in a mediocre or unhappy marriage. From the viewpoint of eternity, this is simply a brief period of predawn darkness;

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 2 of 5)
An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 2 of 5)
By Joby Provido
There is a scene when Jesus is being led away by the guards of the High Priest. They pass a bridge and because of the intensity of the blows, Jesus falls off the bridge only to be dangling by the chains that secure him. In the few moments that he is dangling, he sees Judas and they stare at each other's eyes.

"God's Suffering Servant"
"God's Suffering Servant"
By Ralph Hathaway
The Prophet Isaiah brings to our senses a most eye-opening kaleidoscope of the Suffering of Christ, especially in the four Songs of the “Suffering Servant.”

Perseverance and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Youngsters have become accustomed in school to engage in fire drills, and in some places earthquake drills. Yet who ever heard of end-time drills?

An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 1 of 5)
By Joby Provido
We have probably watched The Passion of the Christ at least once. For others, it is more than once. And yet for others, it is an annual Lenten "ritual". For someone who is familiar with the Gospels, we find some scenes in the film that aren’t found in Scripture. The first knee-jerk reaction is to criticize the writers of the film for including "strange" material.

The Powers of Darkness
The Powers of Darkness
By Lorrie McNickle
I really don’t think that most of us have any idea how much spiritual warfare and demonic evilness is affecting our lives, and the state of our souls. It is hard to understand how something we cannot see or be physically aware of, can affect us in such extraordinary and destructive ways. Many of us do not even believe in such forces.

Persistence and Trust
Persistence and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Emblazoned on the tombstone of a hypochondriac was his preplanned epitaph: “I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK!” The wit of the inscription was the fact that the poor man’s persistence in his health complaints was extended beyond his demise. (He must have been “gravely” sick--if you’ll excuse the pun.)

The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
By Helen Mac
The Holy Spirit can do wondrous things and sometimes when we least expect it. It was the week leading up to Annual Leave for 7 days; a break from work and from a ridiculously busy schedule, so hectic that I felt as if I was being run ragged.

Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
By Ross Decker
With the possibility of the repeal and replacement for Obamacare, my Facebook timeline has been abuzz. One side calls for compassion to the poor, the other complains of higher premiums they blame on Obama. I can understand the desire to have a bit more money but I can’t understand valuing that money over the lives of the poor and marginalized.

Endeavors and Trust
Endeavors and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
You can easily walk on a foot-wide beam at ground level, but you may quail at the very thought of doing it one hundred stories up in a skyscraper under construction, as steeplejacks do. It isn’t the width of the beam that makes it difficult; it’s the height of the beam from the ground. Similarly, our outlook on many things is not objective, but contingent on circumstances.

False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
By Kevin Noles
I was reading through the comments section of one of the articles awhile ago on here and a commentator left his (or maybe a preferred) website as their comment. They did not say anything other than leaving the site address, but I decided to have a look anyway.

No Other Name
No Other Name
By Mike Bugal
As Catholics, like it or not, we live in an “interesting time”. The Church is as close to schism as it has been in nearly 1,000 years. Rifts exist between conservative and liberal theologians. Even within conservative ranks division exists between the Traditionalists (such as myself), the Radical Traditionalist (Latin Mass Only) and the Sede Vacante (the “not my pope” crowd)

God-focus and Trust
God-focus and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
In a teaching given to sixteen thousand people on the virtue of trust (October 23, 2002), Pope John Paul II showed how in any expression of trust in God there is an implied derivative effect; it’s vetted in the cry of David in Psalm 86:11.

How Christ's Crucifixion Saves Us
How Christ's Crucifixion Saves Us
By Joby Provido
We say Christ died on the cross to save us, but how exactly does it do that? Along the years, many models were put forward by scholars and Church Fathers so there is no one single theory on how it does this.
