"Expiate Thyself" and Find Your God
By Ralph Hathaway
When writing about Purgatory and the absolute probability that most of us will end there, the whys and wherefores always raise questions.

By Larry Peterson
They called him Brother “Fix-it” and his religious name was Brother Leo.

By Larry Peterson
All Soul’s Day is more than just a day to remember and pray for our departed loved ones. It is a day we should embrace fully because the faith we carry within us is validated.

Thanksgiving: a Time to Pause, be Humble, and Give THANKS to GOD

Thanksgiving is the one day of the year where we stop, take a breath from the year gone by, and say THANK YOU to God for all that we have. The simplicity of this holiday embraces a quiet virtue which exposes itself that day. On this day that virtue manages to transcend all the daily pride that infects so many of us. That virtue is Humility.

Love in Action
Love in Action
By Mary Rivers
