Pope John III, Saving Those He Could
By Debra Booton McCoy
John, born Catelinus, was the son of Anastasius, termed “illustris”, meaning that his father was a high ranking Roman Senator. As a young man, he was raised in Rome, seeing first hand all the difficulties of the time, the invasions and the political intrigue.

Mercy from Divine Love
Mercy from Divine Love
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Because of God’s love he found a way to show mercy. His hatred of sin will not bring down his wrath as long as his mercy isn’t spurned. The poetic and touching dictum of Charles Sprague says, “Hate shuts her soul when dove-eyed Mercy pleads.” That is the Lord pleads gently and lovingly, urging us to avoid the tragic choice of our own eternal punishment that we would bring upon ourselves.

The show Intervention on A&E illustrates how a drug addict gets to the sad point in which a therapist has to sit down with the addict and deliver him the hard, but necessary truth of their addiction. In the grand picture of salvation, Jesus is the interventionist, and we are the addict that suffers from the addiction to sin.

Pearl of Great Price

Life is a precious gift from God that needs to be handled with great care, otherwise it easily can be shattered by sin.

Miracles and Secrets: Rediscovering Mary in Fatima and Lourdes
By Mary Ashley Burton
My mother booked an Airbnb for the 100th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, on October 13th, 2017, two years in advance. No matter where we would be, or what our circumstances might be like then, it was certain that we would be in Fatima to celebrate. When I say we, I mean that my mom called me to inform me that I’d be going with her.

Go to Hell – but Only If You Choose to Go
Go to Hell – but Only If You Choose to Go
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The greatest love story the world has ever known is the paradoxical drama of a God who loves enough to hate evil. He loves us sinners as his precious children, and he hates our sin because it is the evil that poisons us. So in the book of Judges and elsewhere it is recorded that he disciplined Israel repeatedly in efforts to entice his people to abandon idolatry.

The Path of Reparation
By Susan Skinner
A few weeks back I went to the mall for the first time in a long while, as the mall has never really been my thing. I was struck by the starkness of sin that has so overtaken the secular world, so much so, that I would venture to say most people don’t even recognize it.

Repentance and Forgiveness
Repentance and Forgiveness
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
All sin including that which offends our fellow humans, is ultimately an offense against God – a violation of his will as perceived (often inadequately) by the human conscience. Sin is therefore a rupture in a relationship between a rational (conscience-responsive) creature and his or her Creator.

Day 276 – The New is Greater Than the Old
Day 276 – The New is Greater Than the Old
By David Vermont
Chapter 3 of Hebrews is one of the more straightforward chapters. The author makes the very reasonable and inarguable claim that Jesus' “house” is greater than Moses’ because a son is greater than a servant.

Sorrowful Mysteries - Carrying of the Cross
