Jeffrey Epstein's Soul, Prayer, Judgement, Mercy, and Hell
By Peter Darcy
Famed Holocaust survivor Elie Weisel once quoted a saying from an ancient rabbinical text: the angels weep whenever a soul is condemned to Hell. Our Lord seemed to echo that angelic emotion with His agonized sweat in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before He died.

What Does Prodigal Mean Anyway?
By Victor S E Moubarak

Why Aren't We More Grateful?
Why Aren't We More Grateful?
By Bill Dunn
I have a big complaint, and here it is: people complain way too much nowadays. You must know a person who complains incessantly—probably more than one person. You may even be an incessant complainer yourself. I’m pretty certain I am, but I’m not quite sure what incessant means. And I have a complaint about people who use big words like that just to show off.

Rediscovering the Ageless Child
Rediscovering the Ageless Child
By Mark C. McCann
When I was young, I remember many times feeling very much like an old man. I was a sensitive, scared, and somber little boy, growing up without a father for most of my early life. Because I was intelligent and creative, I often retreated within myself to a place of inner protection, where I could fashion ideas about faith and friendship that rewrote who I was, where I was going,

God the Architect and Engineer
God the Architect and Engineer
By Joseph A. Daczko
Here I stand staring at these walls. Concrete block walls, painted white, with so many coats they shine, and are cool and smooth to the touch. These walls form the basement of an old elementary school, built in 1914 and then closed in 2004. That’s 90 years-worth of children running, screaming, laughing, crying and learning.

New research from Pew published this month indicates the sad fact that only 26% of US Catholics under the age of 40 believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

God Empowers Us & Builds Confidence
By Katie Zalany
I am in the process of moving and had to paint an accent wall in my new living room that was mauve and didn’t fit my earthy furniture colors before my new carpet was installed. I was really fearful of how it would look with me doing it vs a painter. I've only painted about twice in my life and it was alongside other people.

The Division of Christianity
The Division of Christianity
By Lorrie McNickle
I think that most of us miss the point of today's Gospel altogether, or we misrepresent it to suit our own sentimentalized ideas of what it truly means to be Christian. There is unity to be found in Christianity, but it is a unity that is found based on the acceptance of the Father's will, not our own.
