Roadblocks to Repentance, Part II--Strategy: U-Turn, Not Detour
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
To correct a wrong turn when driving, it is not enough to stop or park. A U-turn is required to get back on the right road.

If He Comes Now....
By Mariel Roersma
A recent Gospel reminds us that we don't know when Christ is going to return to this world. Only He has the answer to that. Like anything, we need to be ready at anytime for His coming. Are we though?

He's Here!! She's Here!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
HE’S HERE!!! SHE’S HERE!!! As the time passes, for me---signs are everywhere that Jesus may be returning SOON! As I listen to news or read headlines, and watch increasing suffering and problems---like the Psalmist David and Prophets of old---I also wonder “How long Lord, how long?”

The Miracle of Mercy
The Miracle of Mercy
By Nancy Marie Murray
Just recently, the World Youth Day celebration came to a close. The footage from Poland showed vibrant images of over a million young people from every nation worshiping Jesus Christ in freedom and joy.

At the Boundary of Doubt: Faith
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
In listening to snippets of conversations at the gym, after daily Mass or casual conversations with other vacationers here in Pismo Beach, I hear the same anxieties, doubts and fears. Whether the subject is gang violence, terrorism or the upcoming presidential election, the sense of desperation mixed with cynicism is almost tangible

Are You Angry?
Are You Angry?
By Crysaly Aviles
Why are you angry with God? Why are you bitter and resentful? Are you convinced that the situation you find yourself in is somehow His fault? You’re wrong. Scripture says that “God does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone,” (Lamentations 3:33).

Voting Your Conscience
Voting Your Conscience
By Lorrie McNickle
I am seeing this "Voting your conscience" thrown around quite a bit lately. What exactly does it mean though? It seems to me, it’s justifying why we do what we want, instead of what God wants. We probably are very well intentioned, but some of us seem think that our conscience is above the Church’s authority.

Early Church Councils
Early Church Councils
By Richard Maffeo
A knowledge of Church history is more important than most 21st century Christians realize. The various doctrines we adhere to today regarding God, Jesus, the Holy Trinity, the scriptures, salvation, etc., did not occur in a vacuum. They are the result of 2000 years of theological discussion – the foundations of which were laid in the first several centuries of Christian history.

Activate your super powers.
Activate your super powers.
By Troy Kroening
We can have super powers like super heroes. Our super powers come not from ourselves, but from God. Jesus even told us, “whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.” – [John 14:12]

An Integration of Church and State
An Integration of Church and State
By Adam Crawford
I don't often post political pieces. In fact, this may be a first. But as I sit at my desk writing this, I find myself deeply troubled by our current state of affairs. In our nation, the term, separation of Church and state, has been aggressively employed in an effort to remove any influence of religion or faith from the public sphere.
