On Michelle Kwan's divorce and other Hillary-pples
By Rose Cuervo
Sometime in my work life, I had been offered a good paying locums job only that the lady boss breathes fire. It was not a happy environment and I salute the Filipina pathologist who managed to stay there awhile. I would come to encounter more of this former women sadly, older, accomplished, childless or not, married or divorced.

Death, Hope, Heaven- What Are We Here for Anyway?
Death, Hope, Heaven- What Are We Here for Anyway?
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
In my pre-Catholic ‘pagan’ years, I worried about death. Mostly because I feared standing before a God I did not think I believed in and explaining why I had wasted knowledge, understanding, and time. After twenty years as a Catholic, I would like to think that anxiety is gone.

Guidance and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A farmer watched a bird building its nest in a heap of branches pruned from an apple tree. Having planned to clear away that pile of branches, he destroyed the unfinished nest to discourage the bird from building it there. Undaunted, the bird started building her nest again in the same spot, and again the farmer destroyed the nest.

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 3 of 5)
By Joby Provido
The Red Letter Edition of the King James version of the Bible prints in red all the words Jesus spoke himself. However in the movie, just before the soldiers are about to scourge him, he utters: "My heart is ready, O God; my heart is ready." This, of course, is not a "red letter" quote. It is added to the scene to remind us of Psalm 57

God So Loved The World
God So Loved The World
By Jean Smith
Lent is one of my favorite parts of the Liturgical year for with it comes a sense of renewal and spiritual growth. On the third Sunday of Lent our church choir that I sing in sang one of my favorite anthems that I learned back when I was in High School. “God So Loved The World” As we sang this song I reflected on the idea that God’s love for us is immeasurable. It goes beyond our human underst

Three Things Christians Can't Say
Three Things Christians Can't Say
By Allison Welch
Recently I have read several articles on social media declaring what Christians should and should not say. They are well meaning articles, rooted in truth and often written by Christians themselves. They are none-the-less concerning. It seems to me that we have shifted from what Christians can and can’t do in the public square to a new level of control that affects language itself

Endurance and Trust
Endurance and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Endurance is simply continued exertion; it implies not just strength but sustained strength, especially for periods of extended hardship, such as prolonged illness, perhaps along with intractable pain, or prolonged unemployment, or enduring years without fulfillment, or frustration in a mediocre or unhappy marriage. From the viewpoint of eternity, this is simply a brief period of predawn darkness;

An inner look at the Passion of the Christ (part 2 of 5)
By Joby Provido
There is a scene when Jesus is being led away by the guards of the High Priest. They pass a bridge and because of the intensity of the blows, Jesus falls off the bridge only to be dangling by the chains that secure him. In the few moments that he is dangling, he sees Judas and they stare at each other's eyes.

What Happens in an Abortion--a Clinical Worker Speaks
By Rose Cuervo
Last week, I was invited to a talk, sponsored by a Rutgers Medical School student group Vita et Veritas, on conscience rights. Their existence, like other pro-life student groups such as other big universities, is always a marvel to me. How I wished I had that faith and formation when I was younger.
