God Sends Workers into the Harvest Field
God Sends Workers into the Harvest Field
By Mary Rivers
The stabbing death of an elderly priest as he is saying Mass in Rouen, France has opened my eyes to a new reality: one day we too may have to bear the same cross as did Christ.

Do you let your faith inconvenience you?
Do you let your faith inconvenience you?
By Troy Kroening
Not always will your faith in Jesus Christ and His Church inconvenience us, but it undoubtedly will. The good Samaritan was inconvenienced, but that did not stop him. We need to see these moments not as an inconvenience, but as an opportunity to love. Love is often inconvenient, but it is always needed.

Separated
Separated
By Lucas Sauls
Just like Martha, I am anxious and worried about things. I have many things to be anxious about, and numerous things that I can be worried about in my life. All of which have significance, and all of which have merit, but the being anxious and worried part does not. I have no real reason to be worried or anxious, because, if I truly let God be in control, then I know I am in good hands.

Was Jesus too hard on Martha?
Was Jesus too hard on Martha?
By Kathy Lamb
At St. Patrick the celebrant began his homily with this question, “Martha or Mary, which is right?” I remember much of what he told us. We all desire to be in the presence of the Lord but we have responsibilities. It’s a balancing act.

Rethinking Mary, Of Martha and Mary
Rethinking Mary, Of Martha and Mary
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
I have always sided with Martha, in defense of her valid complaint against her lazy sister, sitting on her virtual backside while Martha cooks and serves what was most likely a sizable crowd. The Lord was generally accompanied by large groups of people. Imagine suddenly learning that you need to cook for twenty of thirty people? Without help?

Accept Stones
Accept Stones
By Norma Elaine Robertson
In my introduction page I say right away that I am selfish, a little mean and a little rude, stubborn, and conceited. I start with that to let you know to beware of those when you meet me or read my blog posts. That's the way the evil one gets to me because he thrives off my weaknesses.

Avoiding the Spider
Avoiding the Spider
By Richard Maffeo
I didn’t see the spider's web until I nearly ran into it. The thing was virtually invisible. If sunlight hadn’t suddenly glistened off its strands, I would have walked right into it. So there I stood, inches from the biggest, ugliest, hairiest spider I’d ever seen. Its open jaws were at least three inches wide and ready to grab me.

Sexuality in the Bible: The Beginning
Sexuality in the Bible: The Beginning
By Jonathan Hayes
This is part 1 of a several part series. Sexuality: what it is and how it plays into God’s role of salvation is a captivating subject. This is probably at least one reason why St. John Paul II came out with his ‘Theology of the Body’. It is a topic that virtually everyone is interested in in one way or another, especially today.

THE BIBLE AND FAITH
THE BIBLE AND FAITH
By Kathy Lamb
When reading the Old Testament I often feel that one must possess the knowledge of a biblical scholar to understand the holy Word of God. The Old Testament in its historical setting can be difficult for the average person to grasp.

The Jericho Road Moment
The Jericho Road Moment
By Frank J. Maduri
My wife and I attended Mass at Noon last Sunday and it was celebrated by a new priest who just joined our parish, Father Jordan. In his homily Father Jordan spoke about the Gospel which details the account of “the Good Samaritan”.

On The Road
On The Road
By Mary Rivers
In the late 60’s I attended a conference in Marathon, Fla, south of Miami. After flying to Miami, I headed in my rental car down Highway 1, south, toward the Keys. Alas, a flat tire occurred. I was alone on a lonely stretch of land with no gas stations and few houses. Cell phones were not yet a part of our daily life, so alerting the rental company to my plight was tenuous.

Tongue-Tied? Why That Might Be A Good Thing
Tongue-Tied? Why That Might Be A Good Thing
By Andree Ory
In a favorite line of a favorite movie of mine, Sense and Sensibility, the mother tells her daughter: “Hush, please. That is enough, Margaret. If you cannot think of anything appropriate to say, you will please restrict your remarks to the weather.” This line has me dying laughing, every time.

The Church Jesus Built
The Church Jesus Built
By Sherry Kenner
When I am asked for my religious affiliation, I respond that I belong to the Catholic (Universal) Church. Religion is man-made. It is a belief system, traditions, and practices put into place by man. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ, God himself, so that His presence would remain with us on earth until the end of time. It is the only Church which has been in existence since the time

The Crucifix: Why we keep Christ on the Cross
The Crucifix: Why we keep Christ on the Cross
By Matthew Martinez
It is sometimes asked why it is that we in our churches, on our walls, or on necklaces have the body of Christ on the Cross. St. Paul addresses this in the first letter to the Corinthians.

This past weekend, I accompanied my father, Charles Earl McClain, Sr., from my native Prince George’s County, Maryland, to his native Durham, North Carolina, so that he could attend the weekend festivities for the sixty-second reunion of the Hillside High School Class of 1954.

Believe in the Light!
Believe in the Light!
By Kathy Lamb
Father Adam once gave an analogy of hiking in the dark compared to loss of faith. With a flashlight we get enough light to see a little of the trail but not the whole thing. I don’t know the rest. Made it was something about our faith growing dim and now we can’t see clearly.
