Holy Family Was No Picnic for St. Joseph

The Church is the Final Age, but...
By Scott Pauline
"It is the last hour," says St. John in his first Catholic Epistle, but, if some Fathers could break up the Old Testament into five sub-phases, why not break up the New? For even though the New age is the final dispensation, the Church has passed through various phases in her history.

A Closer Look at Our Lady of Medjugorje's Message January 2, 2017
By Kathy Lamb
Mother tells us it’s not easy to follow the light of Christ unless we make ourselves small, specifically "You must make yourselves smaller than others." This is true. Jesus told the apostles that unless you become as a child you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven

If God Is for Israel, Who Can Be Against Her?
By Bill Dunn
There is no doubt about it, Christians and Jews have some major theological differences, centered primarily around the true identity of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is the divine Son of God, the Messiah, while Jews believe the promised Messiah is still yet to come.

The Child
The Child
By E.M. Wilson
When I was a teacher on my first ever teaching assignment (on the payroll and not as a student teacher) I had an obstinate little child whose name was a derivative from the name Eve, an irony which I appreciated, since I was teaching preschoolers at a Catholic school.

A Simple Christmas Message
A Simple Christmas Message
By Richard Maffeo
So my wife and I are driving south along I-85, scanning the radio stations for something worthwhile to listen to on a Sunday afternoon. And we came across a preacher – a Baptist, we learned at the end of his message – we came across him in the middle of his sermon.

If the Devil Can't Make you Bad, He Will Make You Busy
If the Devil Can't Make you Bad, He Will Make You Busy
By Lorrie McNickle
“If the Devil can’t make you bad, he will make you busy.” I heard this quote not long ago and it stopped me in my tracks. It spoke to me in a very honest and open way, and caused me to reflect on my life, and how I was filling it up.

Hoping in the storms of life
Hoping in the storms of life
By Madeline Mauro
As I watched my own world tumble and crash, I had two choices to make; to go down with it or rise above and run to Jesus. I chose to run to Jesus. Built on my foundation of faith, this running was to the anchor of hope I have in Him. Hope is the second virtue of our faith. It is what anchors the soul when the hurricane hits.

An Open Letter To The Child I Never Had
An Open Letter To The Child I Never Had
By Starla Hester
You would be about 8 years old or maybe even older if God would have willed us to have children naturally. You may have even had a sibling by now. I had names picked out for you. Emmalyn Grace, if you were a girl and John Paul or Samuel Dean if you were a boy. I imagined you with your dad's dominant traits of brown hair and brown eyes, but with my pudgy nose

The Child and the King
The Child and the King
By Nancy Marie Murray
The Gospel for Epiphany tells of the visit of the magi, who follow a star to find the newborn king of the Jews. These men stop in Jerusalem seeking direction from King Herod and his scribes and high priests. Herod is “greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,” at the news of the birth of the prophesied king of the Jews. But Herod’s reaction is not one of joy and amazement

Care of Creation: A Catholic's Guide to God's Natural Abundance
By Jeff Sokol
Imagine for a moment, the Garden of Eden. Walk through the garden, and take in the splendor of God’s design. Discover the birds and lizards eating insects from leaves so they don’t spoil. See how He put the legume trees and beans fixing nitrogen into the soil, feeding the hundreds of different fruit varieties, with many fruits always in season.

Our Gifts For Our King
Our Gifts For Our King
By Carol Ann Chybowski
This year, as we've celebrated the feast of Epiphany, I have been reflecting on how the journey of the Magi and our own personal journeys are much alike. Of course we are not all kings, or learned scholars, but we are called to follow Christ, the star, wherever He leads.

The Importance of the Feast of the Epiphany
The Importance of the Feast of the Epiphany
By Donna Kendall
Within a few days after the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ many folks are fond of saying “Christmas is over, I’m ready for summer.” Decorations in homes begin to come down, Christmas merchandise is at least 50% off in retail stores, and life immediately goes back to “normal.” The memory of Christmas begins to fade as people look forward to ringing in the New Year.

What if St. Paul encountered Christ, but then didn't follow Him?
By Trish Irvine
Too often, I assume that the saints would, naturally, follow God's will in their lives. I mistakenly believe that it was easy for them--of course they responded correctly, they are saints.
