Prayer: Why we need it
By Joby Provido
A Christian is defined not as someone who observes God's commandments and adheres to religious norms and practices, although it may entail that. That is a vague description because other religions do the same. Instead, a Christian is someone who has a healthy relationship with Christ.

Evidence of the Resurrection
Evidence of the Resurrection
By Nancy Marie Murray
Did the Resurrection of Jesus really happen? And does it really matter? Paul believes our faith itself hinges on the Resurrection, saying, “…if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sin.” (1 Cor 15:17). But why should it matter what the details are, as long as we all love God?

Water is Life!
By Lorrie McNickle

Did the Risen Christ Appear to his Mother?
Did the Risen Christ Appear to his Mother?
By Joby Provido
The Resurrection was not witnessed by anyone. Jesus did not gloat at his detractors by showing the glory of his Resurrection with blinding rays of light.

After Lent: Don't Lose Your Momentum
After Lent: Don't Lose Your Momentum
By David Vermont
This year my Church has small note cards in the vestibule that say, “Don’t Give up Chocolate for Lent”. It’s part of a program being run to help Catholics make Lent more meaningful.
