A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 5
A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 5
By Lisa Mayer
By the time six-thirty rolls around, I’m waiting for Shawn at the library. At my insistence, my parents dropped my sisters off at tryouts. I wanted Mom and Dad to have time to come to grips with what’s happening. As stupid as it sounds, I need to work on this project with Shawn. I need to be normal… at least for a little while longer.

What are you doing to reach the next generation?
What are you doing to reach the next generation?
By Zaid Kanafani
As a parent, one thing scares me more than anything else. I wouldn’t call it a constant fear. But, it’s definitely a concern. What if my daughter grows up not loving Jesus Christ? What if her generation is the one that gives away some of the freedoms they have as Americans? What if knowing God is somehow irrelevant as she grows older?

Christian - Wake Up - A Testimony

Jesus was inside the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The followers went and woke him. They said, “Teacher, don’t you care about us?

I can tell by the tone of his voice that he’s about to speak the words that no parent should ever have to. More than anything, I wish I could save him from that. But I can’t. All I can do is help him, so he doesn’t have to do this alone. “I already know, Dad.”

How do we rest in the Lord when bad things happen, A letter to my son
How do we rest in the Lord when bad things happen, A letter to my son
By Jean Smith
"Why do bad things happen?"I have asked myself this question repeatedly during the last year and I came across some old music that I sang in High School, the song was called, “Oh Rest in the Lord.” It is from Psalm 37 and never has it spoken to me in a more profound way.

The Veil was Torn In Two - The Liturgy
The Veil was Torn In Two - The Liturgy
By Susan Skinner
In my work in deliverance ministry we talk a lot about covenant and how the Jewish people all knew what this was and what was expected of them in covenant. We know too throughout history that other cultures have partaken in covenants with one another where the pact made with the group is a stronger bond than anything else.

The Dangers Lurking Amongst Us
The Dangers Lurking Amongst Us
By Lorrie McNickle
The Church these days can be a scary place, can't it? Well, I would imagine that there have always been scary aspects to the Church, in the Church and around the Church. Jesus Christ himself established the One, Holy, True and Apostolic Church, as a place where we could come and find him, physically present, body blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Eucharist.

A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 3
By Lisa Mayer
We leave the lobby, and I find myself wishing I could somehow freeze time for a little while. But, much too soon, we reach the garden. Built between Dr. Naveen’s office and the hospital, it’s a place to relax or meditate. Tall hedges bearing roses grow in the center of the garden, encircling a more intimate area lined with benches. Dad leads me toward a bench, and we sit.

Hell Bound Tolerance
Hell Bound Tolerance
By Birgit Jones
The lyrics of Bob Dylan's ode, "The Times They Are A-Changin'", depicted his views on social injustices. His intention was to focus on the unhelpful attitude of government of his time. Yet, the song remains timeless because the times do keep changing. Today, however, that change is far from the ideal held by most Christians.

Lent, Sin, and Forgiveness
Lent, Sin, and Forgiveness
By Ralph Hathaway
In a nano second we can turn away from God’s Goodness, reject His Presence, fall quickly, and once the clouds of attraction drift away our focus should be on the Mercy God so quickly and freely gives us.

Ash Wednesday: 40 Days of Opportunities for Strange Correlations
Ash Wednesday: 40 Days of Opportunities for Strange Correlations
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
A few years ago, the priest ended his Ash Wednesday homily with the command to “Have a joyous Lent!” I do not know if anyone else in the crowded church was as astonished as I at this exhortation. But incrementally, I am beginning to peel back the infinite paradoxes and contradictions of this faith of ours. One that mandates joy while immersed in terrible sorrow, fear, loss, betrayal, even death.

A Taste of Catholic Fiction Part 2
By Lisa Mayer
Kirstin and Shiloh are crying again but don’t speak when I sink onto the couch. Mom and Dad emerge seconds later, having regained their composure. “Evangeline,” Mom tucks a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, “you’re going to meet us at the car in a few minutes. Dad wants to talk to you alone in the garden.”

The GIRMS May Be Silent--BUT the BIBLE IS NOT!
The GIRMS May Be Silent--BUT the BIBLE IS NOT!
By Elizabeth Thomas
One more time I am reading an article about the ORANS Posture and shaking my head in disbelief. Really? We are at Mass, the love of Jesus in our hearts, focusing on HIM, His Love, His Messages. Why then do we become very concerned when we see hands up, lips moving at 'inappropriate' times with prayers that ONLY the priest is to say?

Procession of Trinitarian Persons
Procession of Trinitarian Persons
By William Hemsworth
The Trinity is a complex subject, and at times is very misunderstood. Some try to rationalize and fall into error by declaring a type Tritheism, or even Modalism. However, the persons of the Trinity are three persons of one essence. The Trinitarian Godhead is made up of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and all within the Trinity are two processions.
