Reflections Part 1: Christ is With Us Always
Reflections Part 1: Christ is With Us Always
By Matthew Johnson
Our faith in the Lord Jesus is truly amazing and, without it being where it should be within the context of the Church and her guidance, life would be something else entirely. We need to remember, when viewing ourselves, that we are an important part of the Great Design that is God’s Plan.

On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
By Adam Crawford
Two of the five solae (only's) resulting from the Protestant Reformation are that of solus Christus or, "Christ alone", and soli Deo gloria or, "glory to God alone". These two seem to have been added at some point well after the initial three (the bible alone, faith alone, and grace alone), but we see them commonly included in a list of five solae by the middle of the twentieth century.

King Solomon and Our Lady: Parallel Stories
King Solomon and Our Lady: Parallel Stories
By Andree Ory
I appreciate the symmetry of parallels: the ones found in nature or man-made…from the parallel stripes on a tiger to the parallel stripes of a spiral staircase. In my life and my best friends’ lives, many times, we go through parallel situations.

Bang, Bang. You're Dead
Bang, Bang. You're Dead
By Richard Maffeo
Exhaustion swept over me. It had been a long day at Disneyland with my young children, and I looked forward to plopping into bed at our motel room. As we stood on the corner waiting for the light to change, a red convertible raced past us and someone on the passenger side shot at me with a high-pressure water rifle. I looked up in time to hear my assailant shout, "Bang, Bang. You’re dead."

Pentecost; in Sinai and Jerusalem
Pentecost; in Sinai and Jerusalem
By Charlie Johnston
The story of Pentecost is well known, but like every story in the Bible there is more here than meets the eye. Acts chapter 2 starts out with the apostles receiving the Holy Spirit and then proceeding to preach in the streets with a newfound boldness.

An Infusion of Grace
An Infusion of Grace
By Susan Skinner
In the weeks and months following Veronica’s murder, I was in constant prayer. Constant conversation with God. God showed me my own soul. I was ashamed at how loosely I applied the law to myself all the while applying it very strictly to others. I had everything backwards. My soul was illuminated, so to speak. I began to pull the planks out of my own eyes.

Heaven, Hell, and Natural Law
Heaven, Hell, and Natural Law
By Mike Morris
Watching the foundational truths of so many great civilizations being dismantled, brick by brick, one can't help but wonder how we found ourselves here? Is it not enough to point to our ancestors and say we live this way because they lived this way? For that matter, why has wanting a world similar to the one I grew up in for my kids become a scandalous ambition?

Holy Spirit Makes Us God's Children
Holy Spirit Makes Us God's Children
By Bill Dunn
This weekend we celebrate Pentecost, the feast that marks the birthday of the Church. On the first Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus’ Resurrection, The Holy Spirit came upon the small, frightened band of believers in a spectacular and powerful way. We hear about this amazing event in the first reading, from the Acts of the Apostles.

Jonah; The Unloving Evangelist
By Charlie Johnston
The book of Jonah is just four chapters long, and the whole book can be read in just a few minutes. But what it lacks in length, it more that makes up for in substance.

The Challenge of Being A Peacemaker
The Challenge of Being A Peacemaker
By Evelyn Augusto
Are we born or are we made peacemakers? I wondered about this as the choir sung our congregation out through the open doors of the church and into the bright sunlight. I blinked and felt a bit sheepish as I sang along: “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.”

The Charter for Happiness
The Charter for Happiness
By Christopher McCarthy
There has without a doubt been no shortage of reflections and commentaries done on The Sermon of the Mount over the centuries. For some, it might seem like a cliché to revisit such a well-expounded topic. However, the reality is that The Sermon on the Mount is a virtually inexhaustible source of inspiration for the Christian life.

Is America Now A Nation of Pontius Pilates?
Is America Now A Nation of Pontius Pilates?
By Nate Lauer
Consider Pontius Pilate. Consider that many Americans have become Pontius Pilate. Note how Pilate at least feigns Mercy, is hesitant to have Christ Jesus crucified. He wants to be merciful, at least it seems. Many barriers seem to be in his way to simply releasing Jesus, barriers of fear and cowardice that he has put there, or that he refuses to try to climb over with faith.
