My Testimonial on Confession
My Testimonial on Confession
By Kathy Lamb
I had wonderful experiences at the Marian Conference in Chicago last weekend. This year for some reason I felt completed to go to Confession as early in the conference as possible. On the trip up to Chicago, while riding with my friends, Fred and Cathy, I wrote down what I needed to confess.

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.

The Magisterium has Only Officially Interpreted Seven Verses!
The Magisterium has Only Officially Interpreted Seven Verses!
By Kevin Noles
I have read/heard this accusation a few times. Usually bandied about by the same person but there are a fringe few who say it as well. I find it rather sad because it shows an ignorance of what the function of the Magisterium is.

The Nuptial Bath of Baptism: A Not-So Novel Idea
The Nuptial Bath of Baptism: A Not-So Novel Idea
By Nicholas LaBanca
I have to stop. I have to stop looking at secular news sites which have some of the most inane, ridiculous, and flat-out stupid "articles" I've ever laid my eyes on. On the bright side, sometimes perusing through these click-bait headlines moves me enough to write a response, hopefully helping to dispel the myths and misunderstandings the original story brings to the table.

Let Go I Got This!! (Day 19)
Let Go I Got This!! (Day 19)
By Lori Conklin
Your friend calls you, you glance at the time, and you know you really don’t have time to talk, but you answer the phone, that’s being a miracle for someone or them for you. It’s about staying rooted in the present moment by trusting that whatever you needed to get done today will get done with time to spare. We are so hurried and on the go that we will not, cannot slow down.

Cheap Grace vs Costly Grace
Cheap Grace vs Costly Grace
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
They are terms I have never considered: cheap or costly grace. Phrased like you would a commodity. Exactly the phrase used by Martin Luther to describe the problems with the Roman Church. At least according to Dietrich Bonhoeffer in his book The Cost of Discipleship.

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ
By Michelle Watkins
I'm an avid reader. "So many good books, so little time" could be my motto. I'll never be bored because I'll never have enough time in my life or energy to read every book I'd like. Considering that, there are few books I would consider reading more than once. "The Imitation of Christ" is an exception to this rule.

Thinking About Religion
Thinking About Religion
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
When I became a Catholic in 1996, the Boston Globe had begun its several year series on priestly abuse in the Catholic Church for which the newspaper would win a Pulitzer Prize. Many of my friends commented that the timing of my conversion was typical: always going in the direction which everyone else had left.

Artistic Spirituality and the Divine Mercy Message
Artistic Spirituality and the Divine Mercy Message
By Tim Hatch
The Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska is most noted for its childlike simplicity, but also depth, in conveying God's love and mercy for humanity through the numerous visions describing Christ's Divine Mercy and in the intimate conversations between St. Faustina and Christ Himself, which she recounts in her diary.

For The Love
For The Love
By Mariel Roersma
I've been reading the book, "For The Love, Fighting For Grace In A World of Impossible Standards". Of course, it has made me think about the way that I love, and the way that others love. And why wouldn't that be important? St. Paul tells us that if we don't have love, we are nothing.

On Super Bowl Sunday 2016, I finished reading the book written by Matthew Kelly entitled “Rediscover Jesus – An Invitation.” The 188 - page soft cover edition was a gift to me from my parish by way of a friend. I am grateful to both for inviting me to walk with them more closely with Our Lord and Savior!

Courage, Play the Man
Courage, Play the Man
By Norman Fulkerson
Religious persecution is a frequent topic of discussion in our country and for good reason. The mere mention of Kim Davis and the Little Sisters of the Poor, is sufficient to conjure up images of a heavy handed bureaucracy and unjust laws that brook no restraint.

Miracles From Heaven
Miracles From Heaven
By Mariel Roersma
When you take a look at faith through the eyes of a child, it’s so different than an adult’s. It’s innocent. They believe what they see in books, what they hear from others, and what they learn. They see Jesus as a man dressed in white with a long brown beard. They know heaven as a place in the sky where you go when you die. They believe that Jesus and God are one in the same.
