The Lizard and the Light
The Lizard and the Light
By Richard Maffeo
When I first spotted the gecko resting on top of the backyard spotlight, the creature was only an inch or so long. I wondered why it stayed there instead of moving to the grass where it would more likely find food. So, with as much compassion as anyone can feel toward a lizard, I tried to capture the slithering creature to put it in the yard. But at each rescue attempt, it scurried away.

Sabbath: Should we worship on Saturday or Sunday?
Sabbath: Should we worship on Saturday or Sunday?
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
While talking about the day we worship God is important to keep something in mind. The Jews desired to make Saturday the Sabbath as it was the day God rested according to Genesis. The word Sabbath is from the Hebrew word SHABÀT, meaning ‘cessation,’ or ‘time of rest.’ The day chosen for the Sabbath is a day of rest dedicated to Lord,

Trust and Faith- Aren't They The Same Thing?
Trust and Faith- Aren't They The Same Thing?
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Can we have trust in a person, event or object without faith? These two concepts are most commonly used in the religious context when we are speaking, thinking and writing about them; almost always we do so with a great attention to the ‘mystery’ of trust or the ‘blindness’ of faith.

Pay Attention!
Pay Attention!
By Jean Briese
“You are supposed to pay attention in Mass!” Allie admonishes me. At eight years old, she is very aware of “the rules.” As an active child who would always rather be outside playing than inside doing anything else, she has heard this from me many times.

The Martian and Pope Francis
The Martian and Pope Francis
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Despite the admittedly strange correlation, The Martian and Pope Francis, there is a striking parallel between the most unusual movie adapted from novelist Andy Weir's self- published novel The Martian and the many speeches made by the Pope during his whirlwind tour tour last week. The power of the person

Obedience as Love
Obedience as Love
By Emily Allen
In our modern culture ruled by individualism, “love” is often understood to mean “accept me as I am and don’t put any demands on me.” Why would someone ask me to change if they “love” me unconditional? Why do I need to be who they want me to be and do what they want me to do? Why don’t they just take me as I am?

The Power of Psalm 91
The Power of Psalm 91
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Recently, while I was going through a stressful time, a friend sent a text simply reading “Psalm 91”. I knew what the message was, but honestly, it was late at night and I was in bed so the motivation of reading at that moment was not there. However, I followed her advice and hit the Bible app on my phone and pulled up Psalm 91.

Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
By Arnold Scott
The visit of Pope Francis to the United States was one of the biggest media stories in a long time. Given how few members of the media are actually observant Catholics, what explains all the glorious attention and reverence he has received? One reason is that our culture has an insatiable appetite for celebrities and the Pope is certainly a global celebrity.

Would You Die for Your Faith?
Would You Die for Your Faith?
By Lorrie McNickle
An associate of mine declared this week in the wake of yet another school shooting, that if someone were going to shoot her for being a Christian, her religion would suddenly change. Another associate agreed and said that she didn’t think God would want that for us; he would not want us to die that way.

Tea, Coffee or Christ?
Tea, Coffee or Christ?
By Jennessa Terraccino
There are 100 million daily coffee drinkers in America. I drink tea. My favored flavor is a piping hot pot of Earl Grey. Even when I am cold, I never drink tea in flight. Its not because I am partial to garden tea parties, it’s simply that airline tea tastes like coffee. If you brew tea in a coffee pot, like they do on airplanes, it might as well be a cup of Joe.

A Rapidly Changing World
A Rapidly Changing World
By Brett M Petillo
Man the world has changed. Don’t get me wrong, intrinsically, change isn’t bad. As an alcoholic, when I stopped drinking nearly a decade ago, that was a change for the better. Sure my family benefitted and I benefitted, but ultimately, it was the removal of that sin in my life that allowed my faith to flourish. Sin is an impediment to our relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Need for Hospitality - According to Pope Francis
The Need for Hospitality - According to Pope Francis
By Linda Kracht
The World Meeting of the Families (WMOF) renewed my energy, enthusiasm and love for the Church. But it also exposed a weakness that many Catholics share with the rest of humanity. This being the lack of hospitality toward those who remain disenfranchised, marginalized, or poor. Why do I say this?
