Abortion is the most important issue. Here's why.
By Jacinta
The answer is simple: if we as a nation, as human beings, cannot protect, cherish and care for the most innocent and the helpless of human beings, we cannot expect to be able to cherish and care for other facets of life. We cannot have a moral society.

The Divorce Culture and Our Church
By E.M. McCarthy
We live in a dismal time for the vocation of marriage. Cultural changes have made it seem permissible and even preferable for those in troubled marriages to obtain a divorce and then enter into a new marriage later. These attitudes have impacted Catholics as well as the broader culture.

By Kevin J. Banet
When I visited the convent of St. Faustina in Poland as part of a pilgrimage group years ago, one thing struck me.

No Arguments, No Conflicts...He Simply Spread the Love of God
By Katie Zalany
On St. Francis of Assisi's feast day, I was struck with a paragraph about St. Francis of Assisi in the Pope's new encyclical, and how it described St. Francis as willing to cross the borders of his origin, nationality, race, color and belief system and engage with those different from him.

Near-Death Experiences: Evidence of the Soul?
By Steven R. Hemler
Many people who have come close to dying report having had a near-death experience (NDE). An NDE is a lucid experience associated with perceived consciousness apart from the body occurring at the time of actual or threatened imminent death.

Pro-Life or Pro-Justice? Why Not Both?
By Katie Zalany
I was never into social justice until recently. I went to a Jesuit college, and at the time, I heard the message and it always rubbed me the wrong way. It made me uncomfortable. I grew up conservative. I grew up without any real encounters with those different from me.

"Prayer" The Unlimited Source of Hope
By Ralph Hathaway
There is no other way to reach Almighty God than to open the channel to his heart. The best description of prayer is the lifting of our mind to God. Therein we establish a communication with Him who created us and gave each one an ability to reach our Lord.

Stay With Him through Spiritual Boredom
By Katie Zalany
Have you ever been in a spiritual slump? Overcome with boredom or malaise for all things holy? It can easily happen these days when church life feels stripped down to the basics.

The Communion of Saints Are Praying for Us
By Bill Dunn
I was planning to write some interesting stories about my relatives who have passed away. You see, there have been some rather eccentric and colorful characters in my family tree. The wild adventures they engaged in don’t even need any exaggeration. I figured since they are no longer with us, they can’t complain if I reveal a few hilarious, if somewhat embarrassing, details from the past.

Christianity is not a membership club
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
The recent diagnosis of President Trump and First Lady Melania with COVID-19 has continued to reveal that many people who claim to be “Christians” treat the faith as a club to join rather than a lifestyle to live.

A Rare Occurrence---Remembering and Embracing a Homily
By Larry Peterson
Many love the Mass, and I count myself among them. What transpires during this splendid celebration of life, death, resurrection, and redemption is what we call the Mystery of Faith. We honor the life of Christ; we journey with Him as He is tortured and killed, and we rejoice in His Resurrection, which heralds our salvation.

Our Lady is Reaching Down to Pull Us Up
By Katie Zalany
I had the privilege of going on a retreat recently and during one of my last small group sessions, a young woman in my group out of nowhere says: “During prayer, I received an image that I think is for you Katie, of Our Lady reaching down from heaven to earth with a rope of flowers for you.”

Gazing Upon the Face of Christ - Humility
By Christina M. Sorrentino
Humility is not a virtue that one can develop overnight, but it is by contemplating on the Face of Christ as humility that we are aided in our journey to holiness. It is throughout our lifetime that we can perform small acts and demonstrate certain behaviors that lead us to not only have more humility, but to also attain a deeper understanding of it.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose: A Genuinely Catholic Horror Movie
By JP Nunez
When we think of horror movies, the adjective “Catholic” isn’t usually the first description that comes to mind, and for good reason. Most films in this genre don’t have anything to do with God or the faith, and the ones that do often give viewers little more than stereotyped caricatures of true Catholicism.

He taught me how to pray
By Victor S E Moubarak
I was feeling a little despondent and down-hearted thinking about this and that and everything else. I decided to pray. Did not know how to start and what to pray for. So many things on my mind. Then as if a voice in my mind said, "Thank me!"

Communist Catholics?
By Lorrie McNickle
I'm not sure that most of us realize just how dangerous and truly bad the communist ideology that has sullied our nation recently really is. This ideology has been around for at least the past 200 years.

POPE BENEDICT IV, A STEP IN SAVING THE PAPACY
By Debra Booton McCoy
The “Dark Ages”, as the 800s and 900s tend to be called, were partially the result of a sense of self-entitlement on the part of the papacy and the ruling class. Everyone was in it for themselves, taking whatever could be obtained and rejecting others as pawns to be used. One of the outstanding men who achieved the papacy and did not work simply for his own comfort was Pope Benedict IV.
