After all, what do women do better than men?
After all, what do women do better than men?
By Flávia Ghelardi
A friend asked this question on Facebook and it generated a great controversy. There were all kinds of answers, from “everything” to “nothing”. And it showed me a sad reality: most people face this question about the being of the man and the being of the woman as a competition, to show which sex is better than the other.

A Personal Witness that Miracles really do happen; Thank God!
A Personal Witness that Miracles really do happen; Thank God!
By Helen Mac
Growing up as a Catholic, I was already aware that some people were blessed with the gift of healing. When I was about seven years old one of my sisters, who was 22 years older, took us to a chapel miles out of our neighborhood one night to see a priest who I remember miraculously cured my Mum of severe migraine headaches and my small niece of asthma, and they were never bothered with these illnes

Little Nellie of Holy God"--The Toddler Who Inspired a Pope
By Larry Peterson
Ellen Organ was born on August 24, 1903 in what was known as the "married quarters" of the Royal Infantry Barracks in Waterford, Ireland. Her dad, William, was a soldier in the British army.

Faith: The Ultimate Gift.
Faith: The Ultimate Gift.
By Steve Reasbeck
Faith is a gift. We all know that. A gift that needs to be developed, grown, and used. The quote that ‘to those who are given much, much is required’....to some Christians that is about money. However, I think it more aptly applies to the gift of faith.

It's Time to Let Go
It's Time to Let Go
By Kaity Jones
I hold on. It’s who I am, I never give up and always believe something can be fixed if you are willing to put in the work. It is my greatest asset and greatest fault. This world gives up too easily; if something gets hard or uncomfortable we all have the option to move onto something “better”. We never realize that maybe we are called to go farther, to go for two miles instead of one.

The Priest asked, "He must be heavy?" The Boy answered, "No Father, he ain't heavy, he's my Brother."
By Larry Peterson
It was somewhere near Omaha, Nebraska and the year was 1918. A young, Catholic priest was walking down the dirt road near the boy's orphanage he had recently opened. The priest came upon two boys, one carrying the other on his back. The priest stopped and said to the boy doing the carrying, "Well now lad, he must be heavy."

God - Yesterday, Today, Forever!
By Ralph Hathaway
In the past ages many Heresies existed portraying thoughts in the mind of man covering much of what doctors of the Church and mystics have long attempted to recuse as false, misleading, and instilling doubt to the wondering and searching world regarding Almighty God and the Teaching of the Most Holy Trinity.

Our Lady Healer of Families (Part 1)
By Susan Skinner
Over the past past year or so people have come to me over and over again asking me to pray for their families. Parents estranged from children. Children angry with parents. Spouses at war. Siblings who don’t speak. Family members chained by addictions of all kinds. Family members who are sick and caregivers who are exhausted.

Not by bread alone
Not by bread alone
By Helen Mac
Lent is a very special time on the Liturgical Calendar; and although we can speak to the Lord at any time of the year, Lent is quite unique and I feel it’s a wonderful gift for us when we get a whole forty days and nights to draw closer to the Lord, to relish in his word, to deepen our relationship with him and enrich our very being.

Self-Sufficiency and Trust
Self-Sufficiency and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Striving for absolute self-sufficiency is a vice, not a virtue. When you have no one in your life that you can call and say, “I’m scared,” then your life is empty, isolated, unrelational, and unfulfilling. You need somebody you can trust enough to say, “I need help!”

A Cautionary Tale for Lent
A Cautionary Tale for Lent
By David Torkington
Some years ago, I shared a flat with a man called Caruthers. If ‘morals make the man, and manners make the gentleman’, then Caruthers was the finest gentleman I had ever met, or so I thought for the first few weeks. However, as the weeks went by, I began to see that his manners were no more than a thin coat of veneer that hid the chipboard man within.
