An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 1 of 5)
An inner look at The Passion of the Christ (part 1 of 5)
By Joby Provido
We have probably watched The Passion of the Christ at least once. For others, it is more than once. And yet for others, it is an annual Lenten "ritual". For someone who is familiar with the Gospels, we find some scenes in the film that aren’t found in Scripture. The first knee-jerk reaction is to criticize the writers of the film for including "strange" material.

A Season for Healing
A Season for Healing
By Tanya Janoski
I am envious of the black bear that finds a warm dark cave at autumns end. He nestles in for the deep sleep that envelops him until the scent of spring flowers awakens him from his lengthy slumber. As the wintery temperatures continue to plummet I feel the cold permeate my bones, and I long for the warm breezes of summertime.

Cherish Life
Cherish Life
By Mariel Roersma
Sometimes we go through something that sucks the life out of us. Sometimes we go through something that we can’t even wrap our head around. Sometimes we go through something that makes us see we need to cherish life and what we have been blessed with.

The Powers of Darkness
The Powers of Darkness
By Lorrie McNickle
I really don’t think that most of us have any idea how much spiritual warfare and demonic evilness is affecting our lives, and the state of our souls. It is hard to understand how something we cannot see or be physically aware of, can affect us in such extraordinary and destructive ways. Many of us do not even believe in such forces.

This year I learned that Lent doesn't have to be depressing
This year I learned that Lent doesn't have to be depressing
By Pam Spano
We had a mild winter in Chicago this year and other than the fact that I had pneumonia, things have been going pretty well. As Lent approached, I had some great expectations, but then I just wasn’t into it. I’m sure most of you can relate to that!

Persistence and Trust
Persistence and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Emblazoned on the tombstone of a hypochondriac was his preplanned epitaph: “I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK!” The wit of the inscription was the fact that the poor man’s persistence in his health complaints was extended beyond his demise. (He must have been “gravely” sick--if you’ll excuse the pun.)

The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
By Helen Mac
The Holy Spirit can do wondrous things and sometimes when we least expect it. It was the week leading up to Annual Leave for 7 days; a break from work and from a ridiculously busy schedule, so hectic that I felt as if I was being run ragged.

The Power of Presence - St. Joseph and Modern Day Men
The Power of Presence - St. Joseph and Modern Day Men
By James Berkon
On March 19th and 20th the Church celebrated the Solemnity of St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the spouse of Our Lady. St. Joseph tends to get lost in the shuffle when we think of great saints of our Faith.

Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
By Ross Decker
With the possibility of the repeal and replacement for Obamacare, my Facebook timeline has been abuzz. One side calls for compassion to the poor, the other complains of higher premiums they blame on Obama. I can understand the desire to have a bit more money but I can’t understand valuing that money over the lives of the poor and marginalized.

Endeavors and Trust
Endeavors and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
You can easily walk on a foot-wide beam at ground level, but you may quail at the very thought of doing it one hundred stories up in a skyscraper under construction, as steeplejacks do. It isn’t the width of the beam that makes it difficult; it’s the height of the beam from the ground. Similarly, our outlook on many things is not objective, but contingent on circumstances.

A Dilemma; Choices We Must Make!
A Dilemma; Choices We Must Make!
By Ralph Hathaway
From my autobiography, which I named “Chosen by God”, there is one incident that became the most ardent event before and during my ministry as a deacon. I have always been pro-life in my thoughts and actions, and it hurts to see so much deliberate and insensitive thrusts towards all life, from womb to grave.

False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
By Kevin Noles
I was reading through the comments section of one of the articles awhile ago on here and a commentator left his (or maybe a preferred) website as their comment. They did not say anything other than leaving the site address, but I decided to have a look anyway.

No Other Name
No Other Name
By Mike Bugal
As Catholics, like it or not, we live in an “interesting time”. The Church is as close to schism as it has been in nearly 1,000 years. Rifts exist between conservative and liberal theologians. Even within conservative ranks division exists between the Traditionalists (such as myself), the Radical Traditionalist (Latin Mass Only) and the Sede Vacante (the “not my pope” crowd)
