Politicians and Pontius Pilate
Politicians and Pontius Pilate
By Teresa Hurst
I’m not a germaphobe, but I am a mother, and can appreciate the communal health benefits of proper hygiene. Aside from: “sit up straight,” “don’t talk with your mouth full,” and “wipe that look off your face or I’ll do it for you,” I’d wager the survey poll would place, “wash your hands” in the top ten of “Mom’s most frequent commands”.

Ask and ye shall receive: America has got what it has asked for
Ask and ye shall receive: America has got what it has asked for
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
A nation under siege. Riots, disguised as protests, are taking place all over the country. Homicide numbers continue to rise in places like Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and Baltimore. Citizens are angry over shootings, they're angry over the protests, they're angry in general.

Misplaced compassion
Misplaced compassion
By Faith-Full Writer
According to a CNN article, a child in Belgium recently asked for the right to be euthanized. The law requires the child to ask for it, and requires the parents to consent before any lethal action is taken. (If parents withhold consent, I understand the child's request is denied.)

Power, Women and Mary
Power, Women and Mary
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
I have spent most of my life learning what power is not. Like many perhaps most of women somewhere around my age, those of us growing up during the sixties, I eschewed the notion of living the life of the older women I grew up around- housewives and mothers.

Dive In, to the Deep, Head First!
Dive In, to the Deep, Head First!
By Lorrie McNickle
It amazes me how many of us are jeopardizing our salvation, how many of us ‘Catholics” are risking our eternal souls. Some of us are living lives in states of grave sin because we are rationalizing and relativizing what sin is, and isn’t.

Her Wounds……Our Gateway to Healing and Wholeness Part 2
By James Berkon
Our Lady is gently inviting in those men, women and children who have been victimized by society’s so-called progress which has led to widespread abortion, abuse, use and endless heartache.

The Trinity Revisited
The Trinity Revisited
By Mike Bugal
Just about a year ago I wrote a series of articles for this site on the subject of The Trinity. That series is, of course, still available in my archives here and is much more extensive than this article is intended to be. Part of what motivated this writing was a revisiting of the original, specifically the first one titled “Introduction to the Trinity”.

A Closer look at the Beatutides
A Closer look at the Beatutides
By Kathy Lamb
Last Sunday at Mass we were singing “Blest Are They,” by David Haas, a Beatitude song. I saw the lyrics coming up “Blest are they the pure of heart for they shall see their God.” I barely started to sing these words when I became so emotional that I started to cry.

"What do you mean by grinding the faces of the poor?" - A plea for the refugees of Syria
"What do you mean by grinding the faces of the poor?" - A plea for the refugees of Syria
By John Mayer
The above title, taken from Isaiah 3:15, represents a theme found throughout the entirety of sacred scripture. In nearly every book of the Bible, God speaks to us of the need to help the poor and needy among us. The Catholic Church has always stressed this point, from the very beginnings of its existence in the person of Jesus Christ

Angels and Pinheads
Angels and Pinheads
By Rob Agnelli
It seems that regardless of whether or not someone considers himself a believer, there is a universal fascination with the angels. This is especially true for those who profess belief in Christ because they know how important a role these spiritual creatures play in God’s plan for mankind.

Remember the Year of Faith?
Remember the Year of Faith?
By Malleson Emmerling
When Pope Benedict XVI announced the Year of Faith and that it was to begin on October 11, 2012, I never realized how personal this would become for me. You see, just one day before, I had uncovered evidence that my 20-year marriage was over. And on October 12, 2012, my husband moved out – never to return.

Do not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer... Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10
Do not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer... Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10
By Kathy Lamb
Today I’m going to talk to you about suffering. Suffering is a gift from God. When we accept suffering gratefully and gracefully we’re given the opportunity to unite our suffering to the suffering of Jesus on the Cross. That’s what Jesus meant when he told us to take up our cross and follow him. Matthew 16:24

Boundaries in Christianity
Boundaries in Christianity
By Allison Brown
My whole life I have more or less been a people pleaser. I would prefer to agree to save from having an argument.. In the past, I would apologize regardless if I actually did something wrong or not. The point was to keep peace at all costs.

Speaking in Tongues Part 1
By Mike Bugal
In writing to the Church at Corinth Saint Paul took three chapters of his first letter to them to discuss the subject of spiritual gifts. Among the many problems with that church was an inappropriate obsession with what is called “the sign gifts”.
