The Essence of the Prayer of Jesus
The Essence of the Prayer of Jesus
By David Torkington
The essence of the prayer of Jesus entailed dedicating every moment of every day to loving God with every part and with every fiber of his being (Lk 2:29. Jn 4:34). All his prayer was directed to this end. Pledging himself to love his Father, come what may, day in day out, might be simple, but it certainly wasn’t always plain sailing.

The Three Most Powerful Words
The Three Most Powerful Words
By Danielle Castellucci
He is risen! Three little words; and yet, their meaning is beyond comprehension. In those three little words, the words that defy reality, death, our only surety in this life, is defeated.

Are Easter and Christmas "Satanic"?
Are Easter and Christmas "Satanic"?
By Mike Bugal
As I outlined in the previous article my Granddaughter Lara had an encounter with a respondent (who again will go unnamed) who told her that Easter is satanic. This is not a novel idea with this person but is held by extremists within Evangelical Christianity, as well as many pseudo-Christian and non-Christian cults.

Built Upon The Rock
By Adam Crawford
So, when I learned that the Catholic Church claimed to be infallible in her official teachings on matters of faith and morals, when I discovered that she claimed to possess the fullness of the Christian faith, when I heard her proclaim that she bore and administered the totality of the means of salvation,I found myself simultaneously offended and intrigued.

Make your faith a full-time job
Make your faith a full-time job
By Charlie Johnston
You see Scriptures are like that. Sometimes years later, something you heard, once before will come back to your mind and make sense like it never did before. Like the Jesus' parable about the sower sowing seeds, sometime seeds take a long time to start growing, but if they fall on fertile soil they will eventually grow

Crossing the Line
Crossing the Line
By Mike Bugal
On Facebook the other day my Granddaughter posted a meme of a comparison between Saint Peter’s Cross and the Satanic cross.

The Stations of the Cross: Reflections 2
The Stations of the Cross: Reflections 2
By Mike Bugal
The Stations of the Cross are a great mediation upon the provision and price God paid for our salvation and to restore the fellowship lost in Eden. I think they should be a regular contemplation not only during Lent but year around if only in our private devotions.

Betray Jesus? NO-Never!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
Last night I had a flare up with my husband, over a long running issue of him pointing out ‘what I forget to do’ while I go behind him and undo what he has left undone and I don’t say anything. (It is not use, habits are hard to change.)
