By Tara K. E. Brelinsky

Romans 8:28
By Crysaly Aviles
“And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose, (Rom. 8:28). Do you believe that? Do you believe that He’ll make all things work in your favor if you trust him?

How are you experiencing Advent?
By Pam Spano
How are you experiencing Advent? I like the way John Michael Talbot describes it: "Get to journey through Advent first. It's a season of repentance, like Lent with a bit of sugar on top! Then we are ready for Christmas!”

Your sins aren't that special
By Trish Irvine
“Your sins aren’t that special.” The girls giggled, perhaps a little shocked by what I said, simply because it came as a surprise. They were concerned about going to Confession to a priest they knew.

Even Naughty Children Get Presents for Christmas
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
After a busy morning of my wrangling children and an afternoon manning a craft table at a Christmas Craft Fair, I decided to appease the requests of my younger ones who'd been begging to visit Santa at the mall.

By Mariel Roersma
On the First Sunday of Advent, we heard a reading about the coming of Jesus. And none of us knows when that will be. For all we know, He may choose to come tomorrow.

God's Final Say
By Allison Brown
God will always have the final say. No matter what, no matter the situation. We as followers need to learn to ride with the tide so to speak. But sometimes His final word can seem cruel and unfair.

The Wal-Mart Heart Change
By Trish Irvine
I could feel it increasing in my heart. My fingers tapped on the shopping cart as the impatience within escalated. Standing in the speedy checkout line at Wal-Mart, I was feeling pressed for time. I hadn’t wanted to stop at Wal-Mart, but I needed glitter.

The Last Day On Earth
By Allison Brown
Should we live today as if tomorrow may never come? Should we let go of everything as we know it and do what we please, to experience it? Because God forbid if we didn’t experience the next exciting encounter or take a trip to some exotic location in the world!

All Souls Day Reprise: Purgatory and Inner Beauty vs Mere Imputation
By Scott Pauline
Time and again, we cry, we weep, we agonize. Another loved one has gone on to the other side. The pain of loss; we will never see them again while we walk this earth. We miss them.

The Christmas Prayer

Look at Me
By Elizabeth Thomas
Many times in our lives we see more and more parents talking to their children, eye ball to eye ball, and saying “Look at me.” The parent wants the child’s full attention; so that they know that the child is hearing what they are saying to them.

Not The Same Old Christmas
By Evelyn Augusto
The day after Thanksgiving, traditionally, launches the beginning of the Christmas season. And as we know, not much changes year to year. We’ve been at this a long time. We know when to expect visits from The Grinch, Rudolph and Frosty the Snow Man.

Fatima: Communism and Relativism as Fulfillments of Assyria and Babylon
By Scott Pauline
It is now some 99 years ago that the prophecy of Russia's horrifically persecutive atheism was sealed with the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection, the incomprehensible spinning and hurling of the sun toward earth at Fatima, witnessed by some 70,000 persons or more, and that was reported by the then secular papers, despite all scoffs today.
