Why I Write
Why I Write
By Mike Bugal
As I write this we are quickly approaching Holy Week. Lent is one of my favorite times of the year from a spiritual standpoint. We fast from certain things (meat on Fridays and whatever we chose to sacrifice for the season), but we also take on other activities that should edify us spiritually. It should also be a time to reflect on what we do and why we do it.

Often during such times, a question comes up in our minds - "God, why me? Why of all people do I have to go through all this?"

My playlist
My playlist
By Clare Lafferty
Like most people, I have a smartphone that has my favorite songs on it – my playlist as it were. I have many different types of music on my playlist from current favorites like Taylor Swift to my personal favorite, Frank Sinatra. I have jazz, dance, classical, pop and also hymns on several playlists. I listen to these songs in times of triumph and tragedy, to motivate me and to just chill out.

The Easter Vigil Part Two: Symbolism in the Celebration
By Joe Richard
Symbols stand for something else. They are used to teach something, or to remind us of something. The various elements of the Vigil Mass, indeed, any Mass are rich with symbolism. I've already discussed a few in the first part. There are several others.

Jesus is either God or He is a liar who died in his sins
Jesus is either God or He is a liar who died in his sins
By De Maria
And Jesus provided the evidence to prove that He is God by raising the dead, healing the sick, multiplying the fish and the loaves and turning water to wine.

How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Working with children (and raising a batch with my husband), I've picked up a few critical pieces of information about how children learn. For example, children require simple explanations in terms they can understand instinctively. Children also have little patience for information or activities that seem irrelevant to their concerns; they learn new concepts best when they can relate to the topic

We Have No King But Caesar
We Have No King But Caesar
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
Having to read the “Crowd” parts during The Passion on Good Friday, is always an uncomfortable fifteen minutes for me. “Crucify him!” sticks in my throat and “I do not know him” is unpleasant. But, for me, no phrase cuts to the heart like “We have no king, but Caesar!” (Jn 19: 15)

Becoming Simon of Cyrene: Comfort to the Cross (Challenge to Hot Tub Catholics)

Obedience unto death
Obedience unto death
By De Maria
Many of you know that Jesus obeyed God, the Father. But most of you, perhaps, have not thought about the fact, that Jesus also obeyed man. I’ll tell you a bit more about that later. You’ll hear a lot of people say, “We must obey God and not man.” But that is not what Jesus did. Jesus obeyed man and God. Both
