Am I being lied to?
Am I being lied to?
By Erika Wehrly
Have you ever wondered if you believe a lie? There are lots of things we simply do not know for certain. Can we trust what the majority says is right and true? I lived as a victim of a lie for many years. I became so convinced the lie was true that it became a subconscious fact. The lie I believed was that I thought it was wrong to be happy.

Blessed Epiphany!
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
We celebrated the arrival of the three Magi to the baby Jesus...they recognize and acknowledge Him as the NEW KING (epiphany...right?) Upon recognizing the King, they present Him with gifts brought from afar.

Care of Creation: A Catholic's Guide to God's Natural Abundance
Care of Creation: A Catholic's Guide to God's Natural Abundance
By Jeff Sokol
Imagine for a moment, the Garden of Eden. Walk through the garden, and take in the splendor of God’s design. Discover the birds and lizards eating insects from leaves so they don’t spoil. See how He put the legume trees and beans fixing nitrogen into the soil, feeding the hundreds of different fruit varieties, with many fruits always in season.

In October I spoke at the Daughters of Isabella meeting about our Divine Mercy prayer ministry every Friday at 3:00 PM here at St. Charles. I told them I was hoping that our Friday Divine Mercy would build up during the year of Mercy but it did not.

Our Gifts For Our King
Our Gifts For Our King
By Carol Ann Chybowski
This year, as we've celebrated the feast of Epiphany, I have been reflecting on how the journey of the Magi and our own personal journeys are much alike. Of course we are not all kings, or learned scholars, but we are called to follow Christ, the star, wherever He leads.

Loving Through a Loss
Loving Through a Loss
By David R. Myers
A few days before Christmas, I lost my beloved friend of 15 ½ years. Eamon was a black and white cat I took off the street. We lived together in four (4) different places. When I took him in, I was living in a 547-sq-ft apartment. I subsequently moved to a second apartment with double that space, and then a third with a little more space,

Euthanasia: When It's Cruel to Be Kind
Euthanasia: When It's Cruel to Be Kind
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Death is as common as birth, obviously, but old age homes and palliative care facilities efficiently remove the dying from the public eye. Consequently, most modern folks are ignorant about the process of death and dying and would rather ignore the entire subject. No wonder euthanasia is gaining acceptance.

The Importance of the Feast of the Epiphany
The Importance of the Feast of the Epiphany
By Donna Kendall
Within a few days after the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ many folks are fond of saying “Christmas is over, I’m ready for summer.” Decorations in homes begin to come down, Christmas merchandise is at least 50% off in retail stores, and life immediately goes back to “normal.” The memory of Christmas begins to fade as people look forward to ringing in the New Year.

The Real 12 Days of Christmas
The Real 12 Days of Christmas
By Rick Mains, Sr.
Many of us recognize the day of the visit as the Feast of the Epiphany. The dictionary defines the word ‘epiphany’ as “a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something in a new or very clear way.” That certainly describes what the three kings were feeling that day.

Liturgy Wars
Liturgy Wars
By Barbara Golder
In my experience, nothing divides the Catholic community more quickly or neatly than a discussion of liturgy. I was astounded when I came into the church, the passions that a simple change in liturgical practice could produce. Thus, it was no surprise when Cardinal Sarah’s invitation to resume a posture facing east during Advent was met with zealous language on both sides of the divide.

Fear Death
Fear Death
By Lorrie McNickle
Everyone seems so shocked and surprised when we hear about a sudden death. It seems to hit people especially hard when it is a celebrity or someone who is still young. Even people of Faith, seem to reel in the tragedy of a life lost “too soon”. What exactly though is “too soon’?

Carrying A Heavy Load
Carrying A Heavy Load
By Mariel Roersma
Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other's burdens and you will fulfill the law of Christ." God did not create us to be alone. He called us to be around others. He does not intend for us to journey through the hardest times of our lives alone. He wants us to carry each other's burdens. He wants us to be there for others in their time of need.

We Never Lose Our Value in God's Eyes
We Never Lose Our Value in God's Eyes
By Mary Rivers
This Christmas message by Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi of Mobile, Ala. Is a good example of what I call “a Jesus story.” The message takes something familiar to the listeners and shows it in a different light to teach a truth which listeners will remember. The story causes one to think and hopefully act or change their behavior.

Please Call Sin a Sin
Please Call Sin a Sin
By Dan Goddu
In between my attempts to earn an undergraduate degree, I worked full-time for a New England supermarket chain. There was a manager there whom I admired for his hard-work and, more importantly, his hard-hitting truth-telling.
