Am I faithful?
Am I faithful?
By James Dsouza
So now when I am once again going through a situation in my life, I always see how Lord has always been there. Even in the storm, my Lord would tell me ‘Come forth. Keep walking. You will not drown’. With problems came graces and it helped me to keep walking ahead with joy and belief which has strengthened my faith to a new level.

No Stigmata For Me!
No Stigmata For Me!
By Kathy Lamb
When I was very young, still in school, I loved reading stories of Saints blessed with Stigmata, St. Frances, St. Gemma and my patron saint, St. Catherine of Sienna. I especially liked hearing about the Stigmata of Padre Pio who lived and died in my lifetime. Stigmata was real to me. I thought, “even Padre Pio experienced Stigmata.” I asked myself, “What if I get Stigmata?”

Endurance in times of suffering
Endurance in times of suffering
By Fr. Bede Camera, O.S.B.
I don’t need to know you personally to know that you have had to endure “persecutions and afflictions” in your life. Big one’s perhaps, or even things that may seem trivial to other but which have irked and disturbed you: the neighbor’s dog eats your flowers, the monk next to me in choir sings off-key, the fact that your boss doesn’t appreciate the quality of your work,

Clutter Cure
Clutter Cure
By Caroline Godin
My kitchen is a mess. The school year has barely begun and there’s papers and projects and water bottles (why are there always water bottles?) and various other items strewn about. My counters are covered in half bags of chips and snack boxes and containers and spices and other little odds and ends. Let’s not tour the laundry room or living room; they’re also disasters.

The Joy of Suffering
The Joy of Suffering
By Madeline Mauro
We know Jesus loves us, but will we share the Cross with Him? When we say “Jesus, I trust in you,” what are we saying? Mainly, we are surrendering everything to God: The fate of your life, your health, your mind, and your loved ones. St. Padre Pio says to “pray, hope and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

In the Footsteps of the Apostle of India
By Br. Gustavo Kralj, EP
In faraway and legendary India, there are vivid traces of St. Thomas’ passage through those lands. By paying a visit, we somehow feel the evangelizing fire of the ardent disciple.

God answers prayers in His time, just ask Zechariah.
God answers prayers in His time, just ask Zechariah.
By Troy Kroening
As we are told in the Gospel of Luke, Zechariah was serving as the priest to burn incense in the sanctuary of the Lord. The angel then appeared to him and told him that “because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son.” Zechariah responded in disbelief and was struck mute because of his disbelief. [Luke 1:5]

God's Awesome Design for Depression
God's Awesome Design for Depression
By Greg Schlueter
Experts have been drawing attention to a growing, culture-wide epidemic of depression. Before another word, please note: My use of “depression” in this article is not in the clinical sense. I’m not a psychologist. I’ve never seen a counselor. I’m not on medication.

The Martha Syndrome
The Martha Syndrome
By Marie Murphy Duess
I’m a Martha Stewart wannabe when it comes to entertaining. As a child, I loved setting the table for my parents’ guests, and my tables became even more elaborate when I married and started to entertain in my own home. No guest ever leaves a dinner party without a handmade favor. And I spend hours preparing the meals I serve, frantic that I get it right.

Rooted in Love
Rooted in Love
By Norma Elaine Robertson
There's always one thing that Jesus tells me before telling me anything else, "I love you." Jesus didn't say, "Alright. These are the conditions in which you must meet before I love you." And then name off a list of conditions. There is no doubt in this world, or in the next, that Jesus loves you.

I'm Not Who You Think I Am
I'm Not Who You Think I Am
By Joe Richard
I am one of the most misunderstood figures in the New Testament. I have been called a repentant whore. Some people say I was the adulterous woman whom The Master saved from a death by stoning. I was accused of wasting an alabaster jar of expensive ointment by rubbing it on my poor Master's tired feet. I was maligned by many throughout the history of Christianity.

This College Kid Can Teach All of Us a Lesson*
By Larry Peterson
Most Catholics know of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The Society has been helping people in need for over 180 years. What most Catholics do not know is that St. Vincent de Paul is not the founder of the society. It is simply named after him because of his lifelong example of Christian charity. So, if it was not founded by St. Vincent de Paul where did it come from? How did it begin?
