"Do whatever He tells you." – Mary to us [Luke 2:5]
"Do whatever He tells you." – Mary to us [Luke 2:5]
By Troy Kroening
These are Mary’s words to the servers at the wedding in Cana. Mary does not put the focus on herself; she never does. Her focus is on us getting closer to Jesus. In a truly motherly way, she wants us to get closer to Jesus. She wants us to cooperate with Jesus, to see His miracles, not because of the miracles, but so that we might believe in her Son, which is what is best for us.

The Final Confrontation
The Final Confrontation
By Nancy Marie Murray
As we approach the upcoming election, we seem to be standing on the edge of a precipice, watching the battle between good and evil play out on the nightly news. Cities are ablaze, the police have become the enemy, rioters are given free reign while churchgoers and business owners are restricted from operating in society.

"One World Order"
"One World Order"
By Ralph Hathaway
“One World Order” A term that might signify something that could change or disrupt our existence as believers in God. The very thought of living under a regime of total authority from something or someone we have no choice in accepting could become a nightmare. It would represent a fictional world that only is found within stories that attract those with vivid imaginations; a dark dream that

Love Is Not Homogeneous
Love Is Not Homogeneous
By Dan Baca
The word “love” is one of the most over used and generic words in the English language. I can say I love to fish, and also say I love my wife and children. When I attend Mass I frequently hear the homilist say that God loves us and right after Mass, I can say that I love to go to the stadium and watch my favorite college football team play. So, the question is; what is love? The answer is that

Words are Funny Things – Especially in Church
Words are Funny Things – Especially in Church
By Bill Dunn
Have you ever noticed that many words sound similar, but have very different meanings? For example, a few years ago I was a Lector, that is, I was doing the readings at Mass. This is how I proclaimed St. Paul’s words from Scripture: “…our Savior, Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immorality to light through the Gospel.”

The Silent Protagonist
The Silent Protagonist
By Mar Camen
I am sure you have heard of the saying that a pen is mightier than a sword, and that may be right as words can injure us more deeply, than a sword’s wound, but among those powerful instruments to injure or to reach a human being is silence. No pens, no swords, but silence. How can that be?

No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
No matter the tortures, Jesus would not turn from His Father.  Will you?
By Troy Kroening
In the agony of the garden, Jesus asks “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.” He sees His Passion before Him, yet He continues, “still, not my will but yours be done.” [Luke 22:42] He did not want to accept His Passion, but He would not separate Himself from His Father to do so. He lives out the prayer He gave us by submitting His will to ‘thy will be done.’

God's First Step of Healing
By Katie Zalany
Have you ever had a bad doctor’s appointment? One where you didn’t expect to hear the news you heard or see the cold, hard truth of what’s wrong with your body? I had one of those the other day. My body hasn’t been feeling great and I saw a new doctor. She ended up finding a bunch of root-cause problems of a medical problem I have, and showed me a picture of my spine health that had me crying

Are You Stuck In A Mistake?
Are You Stuck In A Mistake?
By Katie Zalany
