Prayer of Lazarus
Prayer of Lazarus
By Sue Hallett
It is the moment after sleep. Dim light. The smells of damp stone and earth.

Paul's discourse on marriage: More relevant now than ever
Paul's discourse on marriage: More relevant now than ever
By Denise Deverts
I really like Saint Paul. I would even go so far as to say that I rank him alongside Teresa of Avila in terms of historical figures I'd like to be when I grow up. I admire Paul’s courage, his confidence, and his spiritual maturity.

Godliness and Trust
Godliness and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A person who trusts God is a person who can be trusted. Why? Because trust gives birth to trustworthiness. Think of an unreliable person to whom you would never loan a large sum of money. Is that person really a godly person? Can you regard an untrustworthy person as one who reflects God’s godliness?

Three Loaves at Midnight: Three Sacraments of Initiation, Easter Vigil
Three Loaves at Midnight: Three Sacraments of Initiation, Easter Vigil
By Scott Pauline
Most of the children that live in the Father's house are given a loaf with flowing water at birth, another loaf that is the very Father's Son Himself when they have age of reason, and then, at some point soon after that, a loaf with seven wonderful nutrients. After that third loaf, the child has eaten enough to be a full grown up in the Father's House.

Crises and Trust
Crises and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
I was transfixed, like other TV viewers, watching a child in a third-story window of a burning apartment building as the firemen in the street below were yelling for her to jump into the waiting rescue net they held.

Politics, Principalities and Powers
Politics, Principalities and Powers
By Greg Schlueter
I voted Trump. I do not wave a flag for Trump. Trump is flawed. As are we. Trump has to deal with very imperfect circumstances. As do we. We recognize and accept that perfection is the realm of sainthood; politics, the realm of the greatest good possible. We are not on team conservative. We're not on team liberal. We're on team humanity.

Jesus, the New Adam, converted the OT Pharisee, Paul, and Mary, the New Eve, will convert the NT Pharisees, the Christian Right
Jesus, the New Adam, converted the OT Pharisee, Paul, and Mary, the New Eve, will convert the NT Pharisees, the Christian Right
By Scott Pauline
Why is there the right and left? Is it arbitrary? No. There are two sides to a coin because there are two faculties of soul: the intellect [the head] and the will [the heart]. One extreme, the right, is to have a head but not a heart. Which is another way of saying, your head is hard, but your heart is hard also. These are the Pharisees.

I don't believe in the institution of marriage, marriage is just a piece of paper.

By Jason Klinnert
My son and daughter-in-law’s wedding anniversary is coming up. I couldn’t be more proud of them both. Casey has grown up to be a hardworking man, a loving and devoted husband, and a patient and loving father. My daughter-in-law is a devoted and loving wife, a patient, kind, and loving mother who has the world’s most important job of being a stay at home mom

Trustworthiness and Trust
Trustworthiness and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
During an interview, a job applicant was asked, “Do you regard yourself as a responsible person?” He replied, “Yes, indeed. My last boss said I was responsible for many things that happened in the office.”

Dangerous Illusions
Dangerous Illusions
By Richard Maffeo
Several decades ago former Beatle John Lennon wrote a song whose lyrics endure to this day. It is a tragic song. And deceptive, even devilish. They encourage the listener to imagine there is no heaven, or hell . . . and by implication, no God, no Jesus, no sin, and no eternal judgment.

The Truth About Purgatory and Indulgences
The Truth About Purgatory and Indulgences
By Ken Litchfield
To understand the Catholic teaching on Purgatory and Indulgences first we have to understand how a person is saved. Protestants believe in the imputed righteousness through Jesus’ finished sacrifice on the cross. The Catholic Church also teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross provided sufficient Grace for everyone to be saved.

Nature's Supernatural Delight
Nature's Supernatural Delight
By Linda Kracht
Who would have guessed that a 1972 singles hit composed and performed by King Harvest, a rock band, and an astronaut would both provide support for this article on nature’s SuperNatural Delight? Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest was one of my favorite tunes back in the 70’s. Did any of us get the significance of the lyrics back then?

The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help
The Ten Commandments Partitioned: Protestant or Catholic Way? Daniel 7 will Help
By Scott Pauline
In Daniel 7, I always wondered the apocalyptic meaning of the ten horns of the fourth beast. Three of them are uprooted and in their place comes up the little horn. It is greater than his other fellows and utters proud boasts and blasphemies, with eyes like a man and a mouth like a man, persecuting the Holy Ones, and thinking to change the "feast days and the Law".

Dependence and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A fourth-grader, speaking to his teacher after religion class, observed with considerable precocity, “God’s pretty smart. He put our ears in the right place long before eyeglasses were even invented.”

Commitment and Trust
Commitment and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Mythmakers of ancient England described a monster in the shape of an emaciated cow called “Chichevache” that ate nothing but faithful wives. The British let that bit of lore fade away as silly, but the Irish menfolk, who kept a tight rein on their wives, couldn’t relinquish the myth that provided a bit of long-lived Irish humor. They claimed the old cow finally starved to death.
