By Rexcrisanto Delson
This year marks the one hundredth year anniversary of when our Blessed Mother Mary appeared to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco in Fatima, Portugal.

The Beauty of the Waiting
By Kaity Jones
I am impatient and stubborn. My best friend and I say that’s why we’re still friends because we refuse to give up on the other. Patience was one of those lessons I hated learning and God so loves teaching them to me. The most effective way and obvious way to learn this incredible gift is the most frustrating, waiting. We must sit and do nothing and wait for God to move.

2 Causes behind Courthouse Weddings
By Melanie R. Cameron
Interviewing multiple couples who married at the courthouse, eloped, or had a very small ceremony at a family's home, this article asks the ultimate question that I consider a very good question to ask when first planning a wedding: "Who is it for, ultimately?"

Patience, Persistence, Love
By The Prayerful Pilgrim

Pope Francis and Holy Joy
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Even though some old Catholic icons and holy cards often depict saints and the Holy Family looking miserable, with tears streaming down their pale faces, the truth is the saints lived in God’s Presence and in His joy. Even when saints suffered, their suffering was lived out in, with and through Divine Love.

Our Legacy
By Mariel Roersma
Everyone was made for a purpose, a specific purpose thought of by God. Sometimes it takes a long time to find that purpose and sometimes it may not. Hopefully by the time we leave this world, our purpose in which we were created has been found and done. Think about it, when you leave this world, how do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave behind?

A Twenty-Something's Perspective on the Extraordinary Form
By Nicholas LaBanca
There seems to be a lot of sparks flying around within the Church, and it's sad to see so many people divided over various issues. There is so much on my mind regarding these things, but one in particular I'd like to address are some comments made by the Holy Father about a week ago regarding the Extraordinary Form (EF) of the Latin Rite.

By Julie
Nuestra Señora de la Leche y Buen Parto (Our Lady of the Milk and Happy Delivery) is the official name of the Shrine in Florida dedicated to Our Lady. This is also the site of the “official” first Mass in the United States around 1596. (Note: Other Masses were offered before this time frame—but this is the first official location that has a shrine.)

The Child
By E.M. Wilson
When I was a teacher on my first ever teaching assignment (on the payroll and not as a student teacher) I had an obstinate little child whose name was a derivative from the name Eve, an irony which I appreciated, since I was teaching preschoolers at a Catholic school.
