We are the Pro-Life Generation
By Christina M. Sorrentino
There is so much misunderstanding when it comes to the pro-life movement. Often the Millennial generation is labeled as being too concerned with only an anti-abortion agenda, and not having any concern with the care of the child after he or she is born.

Is your spiritual life a simmering ramen or instant noodles?
Is your spiritual life a simmering ramen or instant noodles?
By Joby Provido
After college, (oh so many forgotten years ago I am afraid to count) I had an instant noodle phase. I am almost sure you know what they are: plastic bowls that come with preserved noodles and pouches of flavoring. You pour hot water over the noodles, mix in the flavoring, cover the cup, wait for 3 minutes, and then voila, instant meal.

My Daughters, My Son and the Gender Divide...
By Carlos Espinosa
While getting a haircut a few weeks ago, I overheard one of the hairdressers tell another, "Men are all the same. They treat you well in front of your face but you never know what they're doing behind your back. That's why I don't care about any man. I put my needs first."

TWO QUESTIONS ASKED BY THE FAINT-HEARTED
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
In the midst of sufferings, all but the most God-trusting souls tend to ask two questions:1) Why this suffering, or at least why now, Lord?; 2) How long will this darkness last, Lord?

Are You Doing Your Part?
Are You Doing Your Part?
By Zaid Kanafani
