The Politics of Corn, Codfish, and Cranberries
The Politics of Corn, Codfish, and Cranberries
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
History is replete with events spawned by the ravaging effects of anger, in the form of economic retailiation, violent retribution, and even internecine wars. Less frequently, efforts to subdue the anger of a protagonist have been fortuitous, as "wise men turn away anger" (Prv 29:8).

Dei Verbum: What is Divine Revelation?
Dei Verbum: What is Divine Revelation?
By William Hemsworth
In my years as a Protestant, a topic of great passion was just how God reveals Himself to mankind. Sola scriptura, or the Bible alone, was my battle cry for many years. However once I started reading the early church fathers something hit me. These sound a lot like Catholic teachings

Patience, Where Are You?
Patience, Where Are You?
By Birgit Jones
O Patience, where are you? I am trying desperately to find you as this dear little one settles down for a nap, but his incessant whimpering for ‘mama’ is difficult to ignore. All tried and true tactics are for naught. Enduring silence, insistent shushing, and ceaseless waiting have failed.

The Pop Tart
The Pop Tart
By Catherine Garrett
My almost 3 year old son brought me a package of pop tarts. "I want pop tart, mommy!" As I took the shiny package from him, I could tell the pop tarts had been through several children's hands, possibly stepped on and thrown around too.

Don't Cross off the Cross
Don't Cross off the Cross

Day 131 – Tradition
Day 131 – Tradition
By David Vermont
Does Jesus condemn all tradition? In today’s reading, Mark 7, the states: And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! … thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do."

The Dove with the Olive Branch and the Peace that Our Lady will Bring
By Scott Pauline
The Christ draws profound parallels between Noah’s day and that of the end of the world. Too, St. Peter compares the beginning world destroyed by water with the final world destroyed by fire, effectively indicative of the Flood and the end-of-the-world fire at the Second Coming.

The 4 words for a happy marriage
By Flávia Ghelardi
In Schoenstatt’s Movement, of which I’m a member, we talk about the four words that help us to have a happy marriage. In Portuguese, they all start with the letter R, so we call them the 4Rs, but in English, these words are: pray, re-enchant, review and renew. Let’s look at each one of them.

Day 130 – Feeding the 5,000 – Redux
Day 130 – Feeding the 5,000 – Redux
By David Vermont
Today we read Mark’s account of the feeding of the 5,000. There are only two miracles that are recounted in all four (4) Gospels: The Resurrection and the feeding of the 5,000. Seems to me that that fact alone might imply some major significance to the event!
