Words To Live By
Words To Live By
By Clare Lafferty
As I sat at Mass, I realized that every word that is read from the Bible is perfect. It is another affirmation that God is the author of the Bible. Every word and phrase has meaning for all of us. God’s words were written so He could show us how to live in Him.

Syrians, Samaritans and Mustard Seeds
Syrians, Samaritans and Mustard Seeds
By Ross Decker
He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.”

How the Womb Reveals the Dignity of Woman
By Dr. Susan Caldwell
In the Incarnation, God became “one flesh” with human nature. Through the womb of a woman, God chose to reveal himself to his creatures. Have you ever stopped to meditate on this mystery? If this is true -and it is - then what does this tell us about the dignity of woman? Each and every woman.

The Beauty of the Mass
The Beauty of the Mass
By Mike Bugal
When I was a child growing up in the pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church I doubt I ever would have made such a statement. “Beautiful”?? BORING is more like it. Okay, everything in the Liturgy was in Latin and I was still a few years from taking Latin in high school (and taking 4 years to get through two years of it…twice each for Latin I and II.

Are we Sacrificing our Citizenship in Heaven for American Patriotism
Are we Sacrificing our Citizenship in Heaven for American Patriotism
By Lorrie McNickle
We all like to proclaim that America was founded on Christian principles. Then we turn our back on brothers and sisters in need as soon as things get a little tough. I guess talk and posts are cheap and easy, but the real work of Christianity is hard and comes with a cost. Interestingly, the one person that we all deem as being a “non-Christian” seems to exhibit the most Christian stance

You Can Go to Hell
You Can Go to Hell
By Greg Schlueter
The Lord comes on the clouds of Heaven. Everyone will see Him. All the peoples of the earth in history. Curiously- the Book of Revelation says that all will lament Him. Lament means to mourn. To be sorrowful. Why would everyone feel that way? Because we will all see how we have failed in so many ways to do God’s Divine will. We will all see how we sinned and let Him down.

What's with those little fortune cookies?
What's with those little fortune cookies?
By Linda Kracht
And so, even when it seems as if divining the future is just a cheap fortune cookie, is a convenient past time (reading of one’s horoscope) or seemingly just a game, consider this warning. “Ouija boards and tarot cards and crystals and how-to-palm read booklets might not seem to cost very much, but the spiritual price we pay for using them is often much steeper than we realize.”

Standing By Jesus Through Our Persecution
Standing By Jesus Through Our Persecution
By Allison Brown - Because I am His
Every time I have someone attack me for my belief in the Catholic faith, at first I feel hurt and emotional, because my faith is deeply rooted in me and is not something I take lightly. But than the sun comes out and I realise that in fact this is great! Being attacked for my faith actually means I am doing something right.

I will be there tomorrow
I will be there tomorrow
By Joe Richard
It’s nearly that time of year again, whether we are ready or not. As we approach Thanksgiving, we will begin to hear Christmas Carols on the radio, in the malls, and in the various stores. One of those songs we will hear is some version of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” I want to give a little background on this old favorite, and share what might be a little-known interesting fact about its background

"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
By De Maria
In the “prayer to dead saints” article, someone is asking the meaning of the term, “temporal punishment for sin”. I sympathize. Because I had the hardest time understanding that, as well. But then, someone said, “Just think of it as TEMPORARY punishment for sin”. And voila! I understood.

Why are People so Angry, All the Time?
Why are People so Angry, All the Time?
By Lorrie McNickle
I’ve noticed that there seems to be so much anger in our world today. On a smaller scale, this anger is evident in our neighborhoods, workplaces, families, social media and our churches. The most distressing aspect of this to me, it the anger present within and displayed by Christians; people whom proclaim to practice the Faith, yet act and speak in the most uncharitable voices.

Are You Ready to Cash-in Your Chips?
Are You Ready to Cash-in Your Chips?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Without realizing it, we ask ourselves thousands of silent questions every day in decision-making. Should I buy this brand or that one? Can I afford to buy this item? What time is it? Should I see a doctor about this pain? What is the phone number I need to reach this person? Should I watch this TV program or another? What shall I order from the menu?
