A Question Of Faith of Fear
A Question Of Faith of Fear
By Victor S E Moubarak
Is faith the result of fear of the consequences if we do not have faith, or is it somehow a self-generated product of our determination to believe without any tangible proof or evidence?

Reflections of a First Year Deacon's Wife
Reflections of a First Year Deacon's Wife
By Cindy Ellis
A year ago, I wondered what this first year as a deacon’s wife would bring. I knew it would bring changes to our lives. I knew we would both be called to do more in our parish and participate more fully. I knew we would be busy. I knew we would be more helpful to our current parish in many ways.

Here's Lookin' at You
Here's Lookin' at You
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Our best technology is nothing compared to the marvels of "God's hidden camera"; "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" (Prv 15:3). "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is...laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account (Heb 4:13).

Day 164 – The Body of Christ
Day 164 – The Body of Christ
By David Vermont
There are many divisions in the Church at Corinth. Paul started this letter speaking about how some claimed their faith was superior because of the gravitas of the person who baptized them. Yesterday we read about divisions within the way the service, the remembrance of the Last Supper, was being conducted.

Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Mission for the Salvation of the World
Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Mission for the Salvation of the World
By Lorrie McNickle
This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. The one request Mary had at every one of her apparitions was that we all pray the rosary. She asked that we pray the rosary every day for the conversion of sinners and for peace in the world. It is a pretty simple task and an easy request that she makes of us, yet we still resist and neglect to do it.

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
By Scott Pauline
In the first essays on the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God must have an Old Testament to prepare for the Incarnation in any fallen world, and that such OT consists of two preliminary, preeminent phases of sin and chastisement for all of humanity, then the formation of Prefiguring Covenant, God espousing Himself to a little “underdog” amongst the many to be His special “People”,

Swimming Forbidden..."
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
English-speaking travelers abroad are often amused by signs in fractured English - like a sign by a swimming pool at a French Rivera hotel: "Swimming forbidden in the absence of the savior."

Day 163 – Factions Among You
Day 163 – Factions Among You
By David Vermont
Today, Paul addresses additional problems in the Corinthian community. One of them is disunity that had grown up at services. It seems that services have become sort of a dinner party. Some people are treating it more like a social event than a service. Paul tells them that this should stop and address the Eucharist directly

An Open Letter to Parents of Prospective College Students
An Open Letter to Parents of Prospective College Students
By Greg Schlueter
Below was adapted from an email to family members by my brother, Dr. Nathan Schlueter, a professor at Hillsdale College, on the subject of discerning college. He makes a compelling case that our interests ought to be a fully-human success, and that such is built upon a solid foundation provided by a real liberal arts education.

How Rick Middleton's Life Sang for the Lord, and We Should Do Likewise
How Rick Middleton's Life Sang for the Lord, and We Should Do Likewise
By Justin McClain
Even though it may come off as trite to profess it: the ultimate scope of the impact of one’s life is often reflected in how he or she is regarded immediately after he or she has passed.

White Privilege and the Christian Imperative
White Privilege and the Christian Imperative
By Robert Curtis O.P.
I finished a paper titled, “An Alternative Perspective on White Privilege,” in which I argue that the concept of white privilege is not, as postmodern progressive academic elitists characterize it, a deliberate conspiracy perpetrated by white people, but the natural result of historical sociocultural evolutionary development stemming from Western European conquest of the New World

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
By Scott Pauline
From the Part I of the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God can in no wise send the Incarnation immediately into a fallen world but must first have, at the least, a Covenant of pictures, types, that foreshadow the things that really matter. Now, we will ask, can God even commence the Prefiguring Covenant immediately after the presumed fall of the creatures?

What to Do with a Dead Soldier
What to Do with a Dead Soldier
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Dead soldiers are annoying, especially if you're in a hurry. A "dead soldier," of course, is a colloquialism for a speed bump - an asphalt mound across a road where drivers are tempted to drive too fast. In school zones, "dead soldiers" keep kids alive.

Save Us From the Fires of Hell
Save Us From the Fires of Hell
By Deborah Burton
It has been a harrowing couple of days following the centennial event at Fatima, Portugal. A group of us went north to Avierto, Porto and then ventured out to Valencia, Alvor, Monção and elsewhere in the Vinho Verde wine region. While we were visiting historic towns, churches and vineyards, we noticed airplanes flying back and forth and the strong smell of smoke.

Apostolic Succestion and the Arian Controversy
Apostolic Succestion and the Arian Controversy
By William Hemsworth
To those who study Church history the Arians are a familiar foe of orthodoxy. The heresy came to the forefront in the 4th century, and was declared heretical at the Council of Nicea in 325 and again at the Council of Constantinople in 381. How was the proper view of Christ upheld?

Signs in the Sky
Signs in the Sky
By Thomas J. McIntyre
For the past four years and 8 months, a series of celestial signs have occurred. Now, such signs are not, in and of themselves, anything portentous. We are not to do as the Romans and other ancient cultures did and spend our days constantly looking to the sky for some omen from which to divine the will of the gods.

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part I: the Prefiguring Covenant
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part I: the Prefiguring Covenant
By Scott Pauline
In the Introduction to the Abstract Fallen World, we saw that the material creation proves the most complex and wonderful, in that, if it falls, an Incarnation introduces the possibility of God loving the creatures to a greater degree than if the world had never fallen, namely that God might suffer for His creatures and forgive them.
