Temptation and Trust
Temptation and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
It has been said that humans are subject to three kinds of temptation: to shine, to whine and to recline. The first one--to shine--comprises all temptations to pride in its many forms, including vanity, resentment, unforgiveness of one’s enemies, arrogance, argumentativeness, refusal to apologize, and so on.

The Samaritan [Unorthodox] Woman at the Well as Prophecy of NEW Testament Unorthodoxy

New Reflections on the Stations
New Reflections on the Stations
By Mike Bugal
Last year right around Easter I wrote a two part article on the Stations of the Cross. As I write this, we have just come from doing the Stations with our Parish. Our Stations are set up at homes and businesses around town, so we walk about 2 miles or so by the time we’re done. The first Station is set up at City Hall… try that in the States and see how fast the ACLU screams bloody murder!,

Commentary on Wilderness Experience
Commentary on Wilderness Experience
By Ralph Hathaway
My reflection on the Wilderness Experience brings some insight to the three attributes of emptiness, loneliness, and dryness. However, after reading over that section I feel that a more detailed explanation covering those terms is needed to give the reader a better description as to what I meant and Merton as well.

The Explosion of Love Unlimited
The Explosion of Love Unlimited
By David Torkington
Although Jesus was full of love and could communicate it to others whilst He was on earth, God’s plan was initially limited. In other words, in entering into a world of space and time, Jesus was necessarily limited by the laws of space and time.

Anxiety and Trust
Anxiety and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A four-year-old reported to his mother that his toothbrush had fallen into the toilet. She fished it out and gingerly deposited it into the garbage can. A few minutes later, he brought her another toothbrush--her own--and said, “You’d better throw this one away too. It fell in the toilet last week.”

Alms from the Alabaster Jar
Alms from the Alabaster Jar
By Donna Kendall
“While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

Belief and Trust
Belief and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
While engaged in my hobby of bookstore browsing, a book of phrases caught my attention because it gave a humorous twist to biblical phrases. One phrase that evoked a chuckle was, “O ye of little faith,” with its definition: “Those who look both ways before crossing a one-way street.”

Hello Joe; What do you know?
Hello Joe; What do you know?
By Jason Klinnert
My wife and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. We have four kids who range from 25 down to 2. Those four kids have three different biological fathers. Context is everything and I want to give you some context to this. When my wife and I met 18 years ago, she had a 7-year-old son. She had given birth to him when she was 16 years old

The Beauty of the Risen Lord
By Ralph Hathaway
In my previous writing, “A Lenten Reflection" I used our five senses to enhance the thoughts that could connect our Lenten journey to the need for the Lord’s presence and intercession in our walk moving towards Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Worry and Trust
Worry and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Imagine Jesus appearing to you and giving you a specific command to avoid something, and then restating that command five more times. You would certainly take that admonition seriously. This is exactly what Jesus did when he delivered a forceful sermon condemning worry as a sign of lack of trust in him.

Fear and Trust
Fear and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The mythical story is as old as the messages on my answering machine, but it’s worth retelling. It has to do with a frustrated hiker who approached a chasm he couldn’t cross. He saw a daredevil acrobat crossing it on a tightrope above hundreds of feet of empty space while pushing a woman in a wheelbarrow.

Stretching Beyond Our Limits? Catholics and Yoga
By Rob Agnelli
If you ever want to understand what it was like for St. Paul when he was preaching to the Corinthians about the dangers of meat sacrificed to idols, then you should try convincing another Christian not to practice yoga. Convincing people of the serious threat that yoga poses is often very difficult.
