The Eyes of a Convert
The Eyes of a Convert
By Janice Bostic
As a reasonably newly minted Catholic, I suppose one could accuse me of being in the honeymoon phase of my faith. Perhaps that’s true. There’s no zealot like a convert, right?

The Apostles' Creed - a short Catechism
The Apostles' Creed - a short Catechism
By De Maria
I believe in God, I’m not an atheist. I believe that God exists, that He is good and worthy of my trust and love.

If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
By De Maria
The Athanasian Creed is also known as the “Quicumque vult” because that is how it begins in Latin. It means, “if you wish” or “should anyone want”. Like the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, it is another short formula for understanding our faith. The Athanasian Creed is especially good if you want to memorize an explanation for the Holy Trinity.

Will Anyone Pray for Me When I Die?
Will Anyone Pray for Me When I Die?
By Kevin Kukla
White vestments. A joyful atmosphere. A peppy, humorous eulogy in place of a homily. Such observations seem to far too common at funeral Masses these days, sadly. Do people even realize why a Requiem Mass is even being offered anymore?

The Greatest Commandment of all....
The Greatest Commandment of all....
By Tess Shore
In the Gospel of Matthew 22:34-40, Jesus gives us the greatest commandment of loving God with all our soul, mind, and strength. This commandment is so great that it follows the Ten Commandments where God says, "You shall not have any other Gods beside me." It is the first commandment. So if the greatest commandment is loving God, why do we make excuses instead of following this commandment?

Day 4 The Heart of the Matter
Day 4 The Heart of the Matter
By Lori Conklin
Wow! I loved today’s reading. It really goes right to the heart of the matter. One that each of us has to come to terms with on our own. Oh sure we can debate it, defend it or refuse to look at it, but will all have to deal with it.

The Nicene Creed - The essentials of our faith
The Nicene Creed - The essentials of our faith
By De Maria
Sometimes people will ask, “what are the essentials that we must believe to be Christian?” Luckily, this question was answered by the Catholic Church, centuries ago. We know it as a prayer, known as the Creed. This prayer is the very essence of the saying, “We pray as we believe.” Because it literally declares all which we believe in a simple prayer.

Finding Light in a Small Room
Finding Light in a Small Room
By Chris Harvey
A devout friend of mine once told me that he tried to go to Confession every two weeks. I blurted back, "What? I try NOT to go to Confession every two weeks!" And there, in one exchange is one of the misunderstandings of Confession.

Under Construction
Under Construction
By Mike Bugal
I think some folks tend to think of God as an absentee landlord. He created this planet among the myriad of stars and planets in the Universe. He pops back in from time to time to fix things up (Mount Sinai, Calvary, etc.) and then off He pops to His other planets. He set up a sort of “Super” (like a religious “Schneider”) called the Roman Catholic Church and He leaves things in her hands.

God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow
God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow
By De Maria
In the New Testament, God established one Holy Catholic Church in the Christian religion, through the mediation of Jesus Christ. This religion also has a ministerial priesthood and a common priesthood. An altar and a sacrificial system. Succession of authority through the Bishopric (i.e. High Priest). And, since this religion fulfilled the Jewish religion, it is now the one True Religion in the

Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
By Christy Breedlove
Blessed Josephine Viannini was a late 19th century religious from Italy who was asked by Blessed Louis Tezza to form an order to help care for the sick that were unable to pay for care. Well, as any good servant of God would do, she prayed over it and answered “yes”. She marched off to do her duty and saw her congregation spread to other countries. Her feast day is February 23.

Jesus is God and Jesus died.
Jesus is God and Jesus died.
By De Maria
Our souls are said to die when they are separated from God. But that is not true death, just a manner of speaking. They in fact, continue to exist, they are not extinguished. The soul is spiritual. And since spirit is a synonym for life that means they continue to live.

Jump For Joy!
Jump For Joy!
By Robert Trausch
Have you noticed when God is sending you a symbolic meaning that signals He’s looking at your life and wanted you to see a deeper meaning than what appears on the surface? If you use whatever senses available to you, you will notice them; they are not coincidentally timed or placed! This happened to me recently, accompanied by some good childhood memories of bouncing on a mini-trampoline.

Don't Call Me Naomi
Don't Call Me Naomi
By Richard Maffeo
Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara (Ruth 1:20). Tragedy. For some, it seems to always lurk in their shadow. Naomi's story is one of tragedy. It is also one of God in those shadows. I wrote this essay about her several years ago, but story is worth retelling.

Why Do We Fear ‘The Fear of the Lord'?
Why Do We Fear ‘The Fear of the Lord'?
By Bill Dunn
The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Wait. What?! The Bible says FEAR is a good thing?! Hmm, something seems wrong here. As we all know in our sophisticated, scientific, therapeutic modern culture, fear is a terrible thing.
