The Eucharist, Our Foretaste of Eternity
By JP Nunez
Most Christian churches (whether Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox) recognize that the Eucharist looks forward in some way to Jesus’ second coming and the consummation of God's plan of salvation. This is taught pretty explicitly in Scripture. For example, when talking about the Eucharist, St. Paul says, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death

Writing without Forethought
By Ralph Hathaway
Long ago, perhaps many years in my early youth, I heard the idea that a good writer will just sit, pick up a pen/pencil, and begin to write. When we attempt to put a thought into meaning on paper, and start to scrutinize what we are thinking we almost get nowhere.

A Review (or Maybe Promo): CT Catholic Men's Conference
By Bill Dunn
A few months ago, I attended the annual Connecticut Catholic Men’s Conference at St. Paul High School in Bristol. I’ve been meaning to discuss that terrific event, so this is either a review of the conference that is three months late, or a promotion for next year’s conference that is nine months early.

Living The Worthy Life- These Are The Best Times For Evangelism
By Michael Cunningham
It is not a secret to those who attend church each week, but the United States is becoming a less Christian country, and the decline in religious affiliation is particularly rapid among younger Americans. Many Churches have little or no young families attending on a regular basis. My question to you is what is going to happen in the next few years?

The Most Horrific Song of Christmas
By Lorrie McNickle
I recently unfollowed a celebrity Catholic speaker for her mean spirited post defending the song "Mary Did You Know. It wasn't just a defense of the song that really got me though, it was that she called out all those who hated this song and find it quite correctly - heretical, haters.

Living The Worthy Life: Sheen V Marx Who Was Right After A ll?
By Michael Cunningham
Growing up as a member of the Baby Boom Generation, I never was captured by the spirit of Communism or Socialism. Many of the areas where my relatives came from were the same areas that now were under the yoke of Communism- North Korea, Bulgaria, Armenia, Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, China, and Russia. I learned first-hand what my distant cousins were going through on a daily basis.

Abandonment to God's Will
By Joseph Freyaldenhoven
On your Journey to Sainthood perhaps the best tool we can present is Abandonment of Divine Providence or God's Will. So many of the Super Saints have used this tool. Saints like Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, John Vianney, Saint Louis Marie de Montfort... Today we want to consider Saint Therese of Lisieux

The Marvels of The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Mystics
By Rex Teodosio
In face of so many blasphemies thrown at Jesus and Mary in the past month--many, too repulsive to be mentioned--it seems fitting to air out some of the repulsive stench by recounting the marvelous birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. By retelling the Nativity in a way that brings out the marvelousness will go a long way in repairing the injuries done to the Sacred Heart of the Infant Jesus.

Life Is Worth Living: Do Not Give Up Your Freedom
By Michael Cunningham
Now today just like Bishop Sheen predicted many years ago, several of the candidates for President of the United States are trying to outdo each other in who can promise more free things so they could be elected. In essence without realizing it completely, Bishop Fulton Sheen was preparing the people living in the 21st century a greater understanding of what was about to happen to them.

A New Year of God's Favor
By Katie Zalany
On the Sunday before Christmas, I was at my monthly Franciscan order Mass and formation meeting, and the Formation Director looked right at me and said, “As Catholics, each year we announce a year of favor at Christmas, so may 2020 be a year of God’s overwhelming favor and abundance for you.” That caught my attention. I don’t know about you but I certainly want favor in the new year!

Freedom in the Church for New Years 2020
By Ralph Hathaway
A problem that has plagued me for a long time is the fact of so many turning away from God. It didn’t happen yesterday, and the tenets of its tentacles have reached deeply into the very essence of the Church; the Mystical Body of Christ

By Michael Cunningham
Grinding to a halt or maybe not- the future of this cause is in your hand. It probably would stand to reason that the 20th century greatest American Catholic is causing problems in the 21st century. Well, Archbishop Fulton Sheen caused problems for some during his lifetime too.

Living The Worthy Life-The Impacts March 21, 1931
By Michael Cunningham
Bishop Fulton Sheen was clearly a man who could see far into the future. He almost with amazing pinpoint accuracy predicted the outcome of this one decision on both the Catholic Church and the Churches that adopted this 1931 proposal. Today we will take another look at the results of the decision by the National Council of Churches and the prediction of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
