Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
By Victoria Pangia
If we were all loving as Christ loved, then our churches would be overflowing with people. Often times we get so comfortable in our Bible studies or small groups that we fail to venture out of our bubble. Jesus had his disciples, but he also spent a large amount of his time with sinners and other broken people.

Weary of the Journey?
Weary of the Journey?
By Elizabeth Thomas
I am reminded of a time when as we were traveling that the words “their patience worn out by the journey,” truly resonated the mood in our RV. We were tired, weary and grumpy and in much need of an attitude change back then.

Christ leads the Church, therefore the Church is infallible
Christ leads the Church, therefore the Church is infallible
By De Maria
After Christ was smitten and crucified, He came back. Appeared to Peter and the Apostles and they came together again. Christ never again left the Church, but remains with the Church to this day. And the Church remains, infallible.

Reflections on the Resurrection, Cimabue's Glorification
Reflections on the Resurrection, Cimabue's Glorification
By David Torkington
I'd always been ready to poke fun at the culture-vultures who were bussed into Florence to 'do the city' in a single day until I found myself in a far worse predicament. I had but three hours in which 'to do' the same city while awaiting my connection for Rome.

When He Calls My Name
When He Calls My Name
By Deborah Wright
I am always caught by a particular detail in this reading. Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus after he had risen. She was obviously distraught; the loss of Jesus was undoubtedly terrifying for her.

Into Thy Hands . . .
Into Thy Hands . . .
By Richard Maffeo
Oh, thanks be to God for Jesus’ example – deep and abiding love for God, a love birthed in a lifetime of prayer and meditation of the Scriptures and seeking His face above all other faces – Jesus is our example of what we too can say when faced with depression, heartache, terror, loss . . . we can learn to say it from the depths of our being: Father, “Into Thy hands I commit my spirit.”

That Long, Last mile....
That Long, Last mile....
By Steve Reasbeck
On Saturdays, I deliver the Eucharist to a local Hospital here. Holy Communion. Literally and physically, the Body of Christ. Think about that for a moment. Let that sink in. The simple fact that He allows me, a super flawed human being, to even distribute His body absolutely blows my mind. I’m so unworthy, it’s not close to being funny. Me. Of all folks.

A Deeper Meaning to the Eurcharist
A Deeper Meaning to the Eurcharist
By Tess Shore
We have all read the story millions of times. We will hear the same story on Holy Thursday. It is a story that we all partake in every time we go to Mass and receive the Eucharist. Yet, do we know the real meaning behind the Eucharist? Do we know what God is truly telling us?

Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
By Evelyn Augusto
I have thought a lot about the so called "Catholic 'Man-Crises" that our Church is presently faced with. I ponder the dilemma because I am, by nature, a problem solver. As I am out in the world, I am usually on a fact-finding mission related to one thing or another in an attempt to resolve something. For now, I am watching the goings-on at the Church.

What did the Cross accomplish?  What does Scripture say?
What did the Cross accomplish?  What does Scripture say?
By De Maria
As far as I know, crucifixion is no longer practiced. But, in the ancient world, crucifixion was a horrible form of execution which accomplished both the torture and death of the persons sentenced to such a punishment.

Father, Forgive Them . . . .
Father, Forgive Them . . . .
By Richard Maffeo
Just a few hours earlier, in the Gethsemane Garden, soldiers led by the Jewish priests surrounded Jesus and the disciples. Peter drew His sword and came within a hair of cutting the skull of the high priest’s servant. He sliced off His ear, instead.

What If That Curious Story Really Is True?
What If That Curious Story Really Is True?
By Bill Dunn
Easter Sunday is almost here. Our culture celebrates with eggs, the symbol of new life. And with bunnies, the symbol of fertility. And with lilies and other flowers, the symbol of springtime renewal. And with 30 pounds of chocolate per person and fancy new clothes, the symbols of a consumer society obsessed with gluttony and covetousness.

Dei verbum (The Word of God)
Dei verbum (The Word of God)
By Charlie Johnston
It's a stereotype, but it has shades of truth to it. The sad fact is that far too many Catholics don't read the bible often or at all. Yes, we pick up the Bible proclaimed at Mass, but that is only a small portion of the body of Sacred Scriptures that we have at our fingertips, and I will touch on this later.

The Twelfth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
The Twelfth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
As a little girl, my experience of Good Friday was one of respectful silence. Although our family did not go to church that day, my mother insisted that I be in the house, “off the streets,” so to speak, particularly from twelve to three, not playing or even uttering one word in our little apartment. Rather, she insisted that I rest in total silence.

Where does Jesus teach Scripture alone?
Where does Jesus teach Scripture alone?
By De Maria
If we look through Scripture, we find that Jesus selected a group of men. Then He organized them into a cohesive company of men to which He then gave a mission to accomplish. What was that mission? Was it that they should write down all which He commanded and hand it out so that others could read it and learn for themselves what He taught?

What Was Finished
What Was Finished
By Richard Maffeo
Perhaps no other statement of Jesus on Golgotha’s hill mean so much to me as “It is finished.” I spent weeks contemplating why that is true, and decided the answer is best illustrated by my life with my two fathers.

Never Wasted
Never Wasted
By Richard Maffeo
No one knows how its claws can tear the soul like the one who for decades gave up a dream, a life, a goal, a purpose . . . .
