Is Satan Real?
Is Satan Real?
By Bill Dunn
Over the last few weeks we’ve covered some rather serious topics here, so let’s lighten it up a little, OK? This week let’s talk about … Satan.

Washing Windows on a Beautiful Autumn Day and the Examen
Washing Windows on a Beautiful Autumn Day and the Examen
By Mallory Hoffman
I have to struggle to reach the top of the windows in my kitchen, but the view is beautiful! Most of the colors are gone now. Most of the trees are bare, but the beauty of the afternoon remains. Unlike many fall days, the sun is warm and bright. There’s a cool breeze in the air, but that’s to be expected this time of year. Actually, it’s a surprise that we don’t already have snow on the ground.

It 'is' a Big Deal
It 'is' a Big Deal
By Richard Maffeo
From the moment our 15 year-old son walked into the house after a weekend missions trip to Mexico, he rambled about his experience with an enthusiasm I thought he reserved only for computer programming.

The King of Kings Demonstrates Power in Weakness
The King of Kings Demonstrates Power in Weakness
By Bill Dunn
For the weekend of November 21 and 22, we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King at Mass. It is the last week of the official Church year, which means next week a new Church year begins with the first Sunday of Advent. (Advent?! So soon? How can it be the Christmas season again? Wasn’t it just Christmas, like, three months ago?!! Man, time is flying by WAY too fast these days.)

God's Mutual Love
God's Mutual Love
By Dean P. Johnson
Let us consider a major theme of the Bible: God loves and cares for his people. Consider Bible stories about God’s interaction with people both directly and indirectly. His walks in the Garden of Eden. The dreams of Joseph and Jacob. The fiery finger of God, chiseling his commandments for Moses. God’s messenger sent to Mary. And so on.

I am a Soul Woman
I am a Soul Woman
By Sherry Kenner
I was born on All Souls’ Day, (November 2nd) fifty years ago. This has led to a life- long curiosity with regard to souls and purgatory. My parents are in their seventies. I have very early memories of seeing my parents cleaning and painting tombs of loved ones in preparation of All Souls’ Day.

To Shout for Joy!
To Shout for Joy!
By Teresa Hurst
You see I consider laughing to be a super fun thing to do. And while that’s not alarming on its own, the issue arises when one considers how much laughing I like to do in a given day. Take my word on it; it’s a lot. I really think I could have authored the song from the movie Mary Poppins that goes: “I love to laugh, loud and long and clear. I love to laugh. It’s getting worse every year.”

12 Early Church Quotes That Will Challenge Protestants
12 Early Church Quotes That Will Challenge Protestants
By Arnold Scott
It is very exciting to be in full communion with the very same community that Jesus Christ established. Whether in 40 AD or today, this community is the very same one that has been continued through apostolic succession, unity with St. Peter and his successors, the sacraments, the preaching of the Word of God in Scripture, Sacred Tradition in the liturgy, the creeds, ecumenical councils,

Embracing the Flames
Embracing the Flames
By Joni Johnson
As a convert to the Catholic Church, there were some doctrines with which I had to wrestle and study before understanding and accepting them. One of those doctrines was the whole matter of purgatory. The Bible clearly states, “it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27, RSVCE) Where did the Church come up with this whole notion of purgatory?

Are We Ever Worthy?
Are We Ever Worthy?
By Clare Lafferty
But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed" For all Catholics, this passage should be familiar. The root of these words are what we say at every Eucharistic celebration before receiving Jesus. But are we really ever worthy to receive Him?

Stop The Fighting
Stop The Fighting
By Robert LaFleur
Please read this all the way through. I really need to get this out. It really hurts when I see Christians arguing with each other. They tear down each other over this and that. Some so strongly that people who were on the path to God get so frustrated and confused because of religion they totally give up on God.

Truth
Truth

What I am about to say here is something that I really believe that is not said to people these days. So forgive me if I offend and if you really believe that I am wrong in saying this, then I ask for your prayers not your criticism.

What is it you want me to do for you?
What is it you want me to do for you?
By Mary Rivers
“What is it you want me to do for you?” Both Bartimaeus, and James and John, the sons of Zebedee, ask Jesus for gifts of His power. Bartimaeus asks for the gift of seeing, if it is within Christ's mercy. James and John ask for the power and glory to sit at Christ's side, to obtain reflective power and glory of Christ in his moments of glory.

Believing is seeing
Believing is seeing
By Dean P. Johnson
Seeing isn’t believing; believing is seeing. Genesis 1:27 begins, “So God created mankind in his own image…” The word “image” often prompts thoughts of sight, a reflection of what we can see, what something physically looks like. Image, though, is multi-sensory, and, as is with God, extra-sensory.
