Saint Aloysius Gonzaga and the Plague
By Joseph Freyaldenhoven
Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was at a Novitiate in Milan, when one day, as he was praying, he had a vision revealing he would not be on earth much longer. This filled his Heart with unfathomable joy, and from that time he had only one vision, to prepare for things Above, not below.

Humility Is Not Humiliation
Humility Is Not Humiliation
By Bill Dunn
Our modern culture is really missing the boat about a very important Christian concept. We have decided that humility is a bad thing. Even though the Bible implores believers to be humble, our society has mistakenly defined the word humble to mean the same as humiliation.

Not All Churches Are Created Equal
Not All Churches Are Created Equal
By JP Nunez
I’ve heard several people say that any Christian denomination is as good as any other. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Orthodox, or anything else, as long as you worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You often find this way of thinking in certain strands of Protestantism, but I’ve seen it in several Catholics too.

St. Leander of Seville—He not only gave us the Nicene Creed but he also saved Catholicism from the Arian Heresy
St. Leander of Seville—He not only gave us the Nicene Creed but he also saved Catholicism from the Arian Heresy
By Larry Peterson
Why do we have the Nicene Creed in the Mass and why are the words above so significant for us? Let’s face it, most of us do not know the Nicene Creed by heart. We should because it is about the faith we proclaim to be part of. The truth is, if we did not have the prayer cards or missalettes with the words to follow, we would be somewhat lost.

"But Demons are Liars!" - Why We Can Trust What Exorcists Learn
By Charles Fraune
A very common question that people voice about what exorcists teach is based on the idea that demons lie and, as a result - why should we believe anything demons say?

Yearning to Go Back to Our Normal Lives
Yearning to Go Back to Our Normal Lives
By Tess Shore
While on a conference call, one of my colleagues made the comment “I can’t wait to go back to my normal life.” Another colleague stated that he was not wanting to go back to his “normal life”. Life, prior to shelter in places and isolation, was about jumping from activity to activity with the family.

Resurrection from the grave completed the Passion of Jesus Christ and hope of eternal life for us. Hope is always in the future; sins we have committed in the past can be forgiven with the hope we will not sin again in the future.

Holy Week & Easter During a Time of Pandemic: A Spiritual Meditation
Holy Week & Easter During a Time of Pandemic: A Spiritual Meditation
By Prof. Anthony Maranise, Obl.S.B.
We tend to view the happenings around us through a “me-centered” prism. Some examples help: That four-engine long train is going to make me late for work!; That Dow plunge cost me so much yesterday!; perhaps even, Social distance is making me stir-crazy! How relevant that last one, right?

"Remove the Stones, Untie Them, Let Them Go!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He said to him, “Lazarus, come out!” Before then He spoke more IMPORTANT WORDS to the PEOPLE. Words He speaks to us. "Remove the stone," and then later--"untie him and let him go"--speaking of the burial cloths binding Lazarus up. *John 11 vs 39-44

This Easter, We'll Dance for Joy
This Easter, We'll Dance for Joy
By Katie Zalany
On Palm Sunday, a local church about 30 minutes away from me had outdoor rooftop confessions during coronavirus, so I went, eager to be reconciled to God before Easter. How grateful I was for this sacrament made available outdoors! During confession, the priest said something intriguing: “Remember, you’re a beautiful daughter of God and Jesus is the best dance partner.” That image made me sm

"Resurrection" / Understood or Misinformed
"Resurrection" / Understood or Misinformed
By Ralph Hathaway
One thing I’ve discovered about peoples’ knowledge of Church Doctrine is there are too many know-it-alls with the wrong understanding of Dogmas. Most Catholics follow the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), even if it can be arduous for many lay people to grasp fully the teaching it applies.

Christ Is Risen! Do Not Doubt It
Christ Is Risen! Do Not Doubt It
By Bill Dunn
This week we celebrate Easter Sunday. Except, we are celebrating at home, watching Mass on TV, and practicing “social distancing.” So, for the first time in, oh, about 2,000 years, most of Christendom is unable to gather with fellow believers to celebrate the Resurrection.

Sacrifices of Lent....Courtesy of the Coronavirus
By Donna A Heckler
wrote a blog a few weeks ago about taking a time-out with God, courtesy of the coronavirus. As a Catholic speaker I often give a keynote address about how I was forced to take a time-out with God because of a freak leg injury and then cancer. In that first blog, I reflected on how the coronavirus was forcing all of us to take a time-out with God.
