If we want things to get better, we must know where we are.
If we want things to get better, we must know where we are.
By Troy Kroening
We want many things to get ‘better’. But do we truly take inventory of where we are? If we do not, how can we know if we got better? And normally, taking inventory is exactly how we determine what it is that we need to do to make things better. The elephant in the room becomes obvious, if we never noticed it before.

An attack on one person's human dignity is an attack on human dignity itself.
An attack on one person's human dignity is an attack on human dignity itself.
By Troy Kroening
Human dignity belongs to humanity, each and every human. If we deny it to anyone, we have attacked human dignity itself, not just the person(s). Human rights come from human dignity. Your right to free speech and freedom of religion stem from human dignity.

Simple Prayer
Simple Prayer
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
God reprimanded Job (Job 42:3) because his complaints in his suffering were, as he said, "words without knowledge." The Lord asked him if he intended to let his unthinking questions lead him to deny God's loving providence.

Day 257 – The Shroud
Day 257 – The Shroud
By David Vermont
First, it is women who first find the tomb empty, learn of the resurrection and deliver the news to the Apostles. This is an important fact, in part because in the first-century women had no legal standing in society. In fact, they were not allowed to give testimony on important events. So the fact that these events are recorded in this manner helps to establish its veracity.

How I Got My Prayer Life in Order
By Paul Smith
This is a busy time that we live in. Let me just give you a glimpse into my busy life. Everyday I wake up at 5:00 AM to do what we call PT in the Army. After that I have to rush home to take my wife to class and then to shower, get dressed and get ready for work. That puts us at around 8:00 AM. At this point I make sure that our four children are dressed and ready to go and get on the bus

The Kingdom of God through the Initiation Sacraments
By Susan Skinner
As I, Susan, spoke to the Protestant Minister the other day about purgatory, it became abundantly clear to me that there is a gaping hole in the lives of some Christians because of the lack of belief in the full Sacramental Life.

Day 256 – The Works of the Good Thief
By David Vermont
Today we read Luke’s account of the Crucifixion. We see the scene of Jesus being crucified with two criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Often when discussing the nature of Salvation and the role of good works the “good thief” is used as an example of salvation without works. However, a closer look at the scene shows that this is not the case.

Commitment to Surrender
Commitment to Surrender
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Peter's advice has an eschatological ring to it: "Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed...Those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." (i Pet. 4:19).

Put Your Faith Where Your Mouth Is
Put Your Faith Where Your Mouth Is
By Liz Galvano
Feeding people is the perfect way to walk out our faith and share the love of God and family. There is nothing more welcoming than time around the table. There is no greater way to reach a hungry person, than to feed them.

Belief
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
At the beginning of each day, week, or month, it might be appropriate to take a survey of just how strongly we believe in God and his love for us, especially in our "midnight" situations, when he seems so absent.

Is God Real?
Is God Real?
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
The most convincing proof for God will always remain one’s own personal encounter with him. Is God real? Does he exist? Although it’s an age-old question, it has perhaps never been more relevant than it is today, given the rise in atheism that finds its origin in 19th-century men like Ludwig Feuerbach and Friedrich Nietzsche.
