A Variety Christmas
By Marie Murphy Duess
My husband and I usually throw good parties. So good, in fact, that we find many people forget that they have to go home at some point, not that we mind. So when we noticed one Christmas party a few years ago in which the usual energy was missing, we were both a little surprised and alarmed.

Advent - A Preparation for Christmas
By Alan Scott
As each year draws to a close, and Christmas fast approaches, we tend to focus on what is obvious – putting up our decorations, trimming our tree, shopping for friends and family and eating every type of desert known to man. And before you know it, time has escaped us.

On Original Sin
By Rob Agnelli
In his classic book, Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton quipped that Christianity begins with the doctrine of Original Sin, which, he says, “is the only part of Christian theology that can be proved.” His point is that all men must agree on the doctrine of the Fall regardless of whether they profess it or not.

The 5 Great Loves of John Paul II

Love properly understood is the most beautiful thing.
By Troy Kroening
Many times we think of love as a feeling. An emotion that we have little control over. If we based love merely on feelings and emotions, how would we know if it is love or merely indigestion? Feelings and emotions are very hard to control. If we let them control us, then we have become a slave to them. Love is an act of the will, something above feelings and emotions.

Lead in Your Parish
By Hannah Crites
I don’t think a lot of people realize that what a huge role church plays in their lives. I’m not talking about THE church as a whole or about the guys in Rome who seem to know a thing or two about God.

Happy Advent! Are you preparing your heart to be a manger for Christ's birth?
By Troy Kroening
In a recent email from Real Life Catholic, Chris Stefanik wrote about this being a time for Jesus to be born into our hearts. And saying, “This Christmas, we hope and pray your heart is a manger for His birth.” Now that’s an Advent I want to be a part of. Being a Christian, this is what we are to do. We are to receive Jesus completely into our hearts.

What Are You Thankful For? The Positive Side of Counting Our Blessings.
By James Berkon
I know, I know. It sounds like something your grandparents, mother or father would say to you at the worst possible moment. Everyone has those days where they want to go home, grab a drink and throw in the towel or sulk in front of the TV.

May the Dragon Soon be Chained, Revisited: A Shorter Version
By Scott Pauline
Lord Jesus, before you came, the dragon ruled the world, he was in "heaven.", on the same level as your Apocalyptic Bride. For the whole world was in his hand, the Gentiles in darkness and sin.

Sustaining Providence With Promises
By Prof. Anthony Maranise, Obl.S.B.
Though I have previously written about “divine providence” in the Catholic spiritual life before, the meaning of the term is worth revisiting. The Dominican theologian, Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, in his scholarly work on providenc,e defines and elaborates upon it thusly: “Divine Providence is God’s intervention in the world, particularly in the lives of His human creation.”

Pope Boniface I And The Fifth Schism
By Debra Booton McCoy
Boniface was a native Roman, son of a presbyter, Jocundus (maybe Secundius). He was elderly at the time of his consecration. We know this because he was ordained by Pope Damasus, who ruled 366-384.

More Bars in More Places
By Barbara Golder
In the course of discussing--of all things--the Confession of St. Augustine, a friend described the spiritual life as being like a cell phone. The more open we are to reception, the more we receive; and if we wander off into a cell-hole, reception gets bad.

Advent: The Nativity & The Second Coming
By Charlie Johnston
Advent, the English translation of the Latin word adventus meaning "coming", is often thought of as the time leading up to the birth of Christ. While this is right, it is only half right.

Spiritual Numbness
By Mary Kathryn Ahlberg
You know that feeling you get when you don't feel right? Like, you're just, off. Almost like you don't have an opinion about much and nothing really seems that great to you. You aren't mad, you aren't sad, and you aren't happy. You're just numb. You know that feeling, right?
