Lent a spiritual fight
Lent a spiritual fight
By Troy Kroening
It might seem odd to call Lent a spiritual fight. After all, fasting is physical and not spiritual, right? Well, not only is fasting spiritual, but abstaining from meat is also spiritual. Indeed, they are both. Our body and soul are not separate pieces that do not affect each other. What we do with one affects the other.

This Blessed Mother statue was carved by an Angel; Our Lady of Liesse aka Our Lady of Joy
By Larry Peterson
During the time of the Crusades, it happened that one day three of the Knights of St. John were caught in an ambush and captured by the Saracens. The three prisoners were brothers and happened to be from the highly regarded family of Eppes in northern France. They were all loyal and true to the faith, a trait that would be immediately tested.

The Five Men You'll Meet at a Catholic Men's Conference: Part 2
By Mark C. McCann
As I have served on the planning committee for the Connecticut Catholic Men’s Conference, I have met some incredible men who love the Lord and their Catholic faith unashamedly. During these conferences, I find I rarely get to see the main speakers. But it is in my wanderings around the venue that I have developed some amazing relationships with these extraordinary ordinary men of God.

The Five Men You'll Meet at a Catholic Men's Conference: Part 1
By Mark C. McCann
What does it mean to be a truly Catholic man? On my slow and steady walk on this narrow road toward the righteous realms of heaven, I have often encountered men of faith who have helped to answer that question. Some have been gifted apologists and teachers; others, men of deep conviction and commitment to the cause of Christ.

Catholic Masculinity Today
Catholic Masculinity Today
By Sinclair Cushmore
The controversy surrounding the latest Gillette commercial, an old question that I believe is in the minds of many a young Catholic today; what does it mean to be “masculine”?

The Chaplet of St. Joseph
The Chaplet of St. Joseph
By Frank J. Maduri
My devotion to St. Joseph has been a part of my faith journey for as long as I can remember. I have always felt a special closeness to this great and influential saint within the Catholic tradition. In prior work for this site I have shared that St. Joseph was my Confirmation Saint, and that anything I have asked for when I pray for his intercession, it comes to fruition.

It's a Heart Problem
It's a Heart Problem
By Lorrie McNickle
I think that our biggest problem today in this country and in this world, but most of all in our hearts is that we are all too happy and eager to celebrate Mardi Gras, but fail to acknowledge Ash Wednesday, we love Easter but ignore Good Friday, we celebrate and revel in Christmas but are ignorant of Advent.

‘Be Encouraged'
By George Calleja
Over the years I have met many people who feel that they are not worthy of God’s love. For some reason, these people might have passed through a difficult experience in their lives, with the consequence of not experiencing Jesus in a personal way.

By Larry Peterson
In 1818, Michael Morris Healy left Ireland for America and settled in what is today, Macon, Georgia. Through hard work and smart business dealings combined with some “good luck” in the Georgia land lottery, Healy managed to become a successful cotton planter, owning 1500 acres and 49 African slaves. Among them was a 16-year-old girl named Mary Eliza Smith.

A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 11
A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 11
By Lisa Mayer
I clap my hands over my ears as one scream resounds above all others, reflecting intense, excruciating pain. And that’s when I know I have to stop this. I have a responsibility to protect Aletheia. If I don’t, then I’m just as guilty as Baeddan. I sense the Arrow Bringer’s hand on my shoulder, and we’re back in the present. I rise shakily, knowing I believe him, that I owe him my allegiance.

By Norman Fulkerson
This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the only documented exorcism in the United States of America.1 This is important because one of the biggest lies of the devil is to convince mankind that he does not exist. This perhaps explains the stunned reaction of audiences to the dramatized version of this exorcism in the 1973 movie The Exorcist.
