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

Do Catholics "Worship" Saints?
Do Catholics "Worship" Saints?
By Kevin Noles
Many people answer this question with a no. While they are not completely wrong the answer can also be yes. It depends on which sense of the word the person is using. Amongst Catholics it would be ok to say we worship the saint however around Protestants the correct answer is no. Venerate is the more appropriate term though worship, in the older and Biblical sense, is acceptable as well.

The Fifth of Jesus' Last Seven Words on the Cross
The Fifth of Jesus' Last Seven Words on the Cross
By Richard Maffeo
It started in the Garden. The savior prayed with such anguish, His sweat mingled with His blood and dripped to the ground. It was in the Garden that soldiers beat Him with their fists, pulled His beard, spit in His face. Then they dragged Him into the city and shuffled Him from Pilate to Herod, and back again to Pilate.

The Gospel Generation
The Gospel Generation
By Logan Holder
Our future generations need the Gospel, but sadly, our current generation doesnt even recognize the need for such good news. Everywhere we look we are exposed to the glorification of sin, and as a result, we are experiencing a culture built on the foundations of imperfection. The world is in need of a cultural shift, one that is built on the foundation of holiness, radical consecration,

God of the Impossible
God of the Impossible
By Erika Wehrly
This morning however, it dawned on me that God really loves to keep everyone on their toes and achieve impossible things. Inspired by Fr. Gaitley's book 33 Days to Merciful Love I recalled how just when the world was at it's darkest moment. When the King of the Universe our Lord Jesus was on the cross dying and all hope of the angel's prophecy to Mary seemed lost.

Saint Joseph: the Quiet Man Jesus called Father
Saint Joseph: the Quiet Man Jesus called Father
By Troy Kroening
I say call him the Quiet Man because no word is credited to him in all of Scripture. Still, there is much, very much, that we can learn from him. Yes, he might have only been referenced a few times, but how those few references seem to speak louder than thunder when taking a moment to look at them.

Our Thanks to a REAL Man; Joseph of Nazareth
Our Thanks to a REAL Man; Joseph of Nazareth
By Larry Peterson
I call Joseph of Nazareth the "Shadow Saint" because so little is known about him. There is not one spoken word he ever said that was recorded. But his quiet life resonated like huge cymbals being smashed together over the ages and into our very 21st century existence.

Is That Man You?
Is That Man You?
By Greg Schlueter
Our surveys of events reveal a major challenge to men... and parishes. Among these audiences of highly motivated "church" men, most recognize the importance of living it out in their homes (90%+). The problem is that we equate knowledge and familiarity with actually living it out.

Bring forth the Old and the New; concerning Baptism
Bring forth the Old and the New; concerning Baptism
By De Maria
You see, when I need to find something, I always say, “Babe, where are my old boots?” Or “Babe, have you seen my new tablet?” And she brings them out. My kids rely on her as much as I do. So, who’s the “head” of my household? Hmm? So, anyway, let’s see if we are good scribes who can bring from the Kingdom of Heaven, something old and something new, concerning Baptism.

Am I Praying Correctly?
Am I Praying Correctly?
By Deacon Vernon Dobelmann
There are many verses from Sacred Scripture that can fill us with hope. It is the story of our salvation so it should bring us an abundance of joy, peace, and contentment. In the day-to-day struggles of life there is one verse that I particularly gravitate toward. "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Luke 11:9)

Our Scars
Our Scars
By Michael Adsit
Bickering siblings, strategizing for best the seat in the car, while I’m securely strapping my preschooler in his booster seat, mom pushing us out the door as quickly as she possibly can, all for a one-mile ride to school and some quiet time for me at daily Mass. Let’s not forget the winter weather advisory followed by dangerously cold wind chills sweeping the area to begin this day.

When we learn who we are authentically designed by, we can better understand what we are designed for! And then we are also better equipped to rebuff any of Satan’s temptations that always have the intent of changing us into someone we are not! So, let’s start with the basics. Who made you and why and for what purpose?

Why do Catholics go through the motions?
Why do Catholics go through the motions?
By Tony Jesse
This blog is a direct answer to the skeptics of the Catholic Church from a former skeptic of the church. Much of my adult life I was a typical fallen away Catholic. I respected the Church because I grew up in it, but I found the teachings and the methods of the Church too boring and outdated for me to take seriously.
