Leadership Series
By Mrs. May Ohaedoghasi
For many of us, we want to be God’s people, but to serve in our own terms. And so it behoves on the Church, in its service as the light to the society, to see how it can use the same leadership resources in man to stem the tide of decadence in morals that has bedeviled even the Christians who should light up the way.

Oh, the good I could have done! The sin of omission.
Oh, the good I could have done! The sin of omission.
By Troy Kroening
Many times, we waste our time on meaningless activities when we could have been doing something better. This is not to demean recreational activities as they can re-create/refresh ourselves. We can take them too far, however. Then, they become meaningless, like other activities we sometimes hide ourselves in. Your conscience, like mine, is probably already reminding you what they are.

Love and Salt - Book Review
Love and Salt - Book Review
By Starla Hester
There is something raw and beautiful about reading letters that takes the soul back in time. Reading a collection of letters feels like you are peeking into someone else’s life; personal life of confessions, doubts, fear, and even love. The art of letter writing is much lost in today’s world but not for Amy and Jessica (Jess).

Jesus, Religion and My Friends...
By Carlos Espinosa
An old and dear friend recently posted a video on Facebook of a rap poem that went viral five years ago, about hating religion but loving Jesus. Among its many claims, the poet suggests that Christ came to abolish the institutionalized practice of devotion to God because of corruption.

Have You Written Your Obituary?
Have You Written Your Obituary?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Instead of paying a fine for your next traffic violation, how would you like to write your own obituary? Or would you prefer to interview an undertaker, or perhaps view the bodies of traffic victims in the local morgue?

Medjugorje, Two Popes, and Me
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Medjugorje: The alleged site of a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary to six young visionaries beginning in 1981 ignited a storm of controversy and persecution. Thirty-six years later, questions remain unanswered to the satisfaction of skeptical Catholic and secular minds.

Justice Sister of Prudence, Fortitude and Temperance

Wait and See---Good Things Will Come to You---Wait and See
Wait and See---Good Things Will Come to You---Wait and See
By Elizabeth Thomas
In all the stories told in the Bible, I do not recount one where there were instant arrivals at the Promised Lands. You know, the places where the people of faith went from point A to point B in just a matter of days. One exception maybe—the Resurrection of Christ, but even that event was preceded by 33 years of Jesus walking that human life trusting in the Father’s plan.

Day 33 – The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
Day 33 – The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
By David Vermont
The parable of the unforgiving servant is fairly straight forward but I’d like to highlight two things. First, it says that the debt owed the king was “a large sum of money”. Some translations translate it more literally as “ten thousand talents”. A single talent was a significant sum of money.

The Magic of the Sacraments
By Rob Agnelli
One of the common criticisms leveled at Catholics by other Christians is related to the Sacraments—how can grace actually depend upon matter? They accuse the Catholics of superstition and magic.

Getting Creative With Dead Bodies?
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
These days, people are coming up with all kinds of creative ideas. Some of these are morally good and praiseworthy. Others not so much. Still others have to make you wonder what people are thinking. Examples of late include getting creative with dead human bodies.

Catholic & Anxious.
Catholic & Anxious.
By Anthony Cecil, Jr.
I was in a random parking lot, on the phone with a friend, basically having a break down. The weird thing is, I couldn’t really figure out why I was having the break down. There had been a lot going on in my life that possibly could have contributed, but none of the pieces quite fit together.

An Easy Way to Make It Rain
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Would you believe that it’s possible to make it rain by simply demanding it with a loud voice? It’s true! High in China’s Gaoligong Mountains in the northwest part of Yunnan Province are a group of pools nicknamed “The Enchanting Lakes.” When anyone shouts for rain while standing near the lakes, a downpour often immediately follows, says the Shanghai Liberation Daily.

Day 32 – Go Tell it To the Church!
Day 32 – Go Tell it To the Church!
By David Vermont
This shows that the Church is not something created by the Apostles after Jesus’ death. It is something he starts while he is alive. And it is NOT simply an invisible body of all believers. It will have structure and rules. An organization that has structure and rules will have officers and officials.
