Loving God or The Thorny Road Home
Loving God or The Thorny Road Home
By Mallory Hoffman
Mother Angelica said that "Saints are ordinary people who love Jesus." Jesus told us that if you love Him, you will keep his commandments. Love is active. We cannot just say, "I love Jesus," and expect to attain heaven. No, we must also keep His commandments. We must love God above all else, and we must love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

Solicitude Not Solitude
Solicitude Not Solitude
By Mar Camen
Mercy for myself. This phrase may sound selfish. Nonetheless, I believe it’s one of the cornerstones for us to celebrate this year of mercy and the always present of God’s mercy. I guess we can start our merciful thoughts and actions with ourselves

The Sacrifice of the Mass
The Sacrifice of the Mass
By Rob Agnelli
One of the great advantages that the early Christians had over those “who have not seen and yet believed” is that they questioned many of the things that we merely accept as givens. This might explain why they were able to endure great persecution; it allowed them to more fully assimilate the Christian message.

Conscience, The Church... and Conflict?
By Daniel Belken
I was recently scrolling through my Facebook news feed, and I was particularly struck by an intriguing dichotomy that someone had set up between “being swayed by the church” and “deciding with their conscience.” This is ultimately wrong, and quite unfortunate- here is why:

Darth Vader, Lust, and Hell
Darth Vader, Lust, and Hell
By Scott Pauline
In regards to the release of the final Star Wars "sequel," I must admit that since my profound reversion to Catholicism in the mid to early nineties, I don't take much interest in science fiction or fantasy as I have had at previous times in my life. I now much prefer brainless humor like Spaceballs , Mr. Bean , or Dumb and Dumber, or good touching drama.

How Can Catholics Be More Hospitable?
How Can Catholics Be More Hospitable?
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Before you say this is a very controversial topic, or ask why I’m promoting another church, think again. I’ve found many who question their belonging in the Catholic Church, many, including myself. It seems that at some point in our lives, we go through a phase of doubt. Sure, we have God, and the sacraments, but we’re human, and because we’re human, we need so much more than that.

Is The Current Administration At War With God And Will There Be Consequences?
By Ralph Zuranski
As Prayer Warriors Bruce, Tony and Al prayed at the Planned Parenthood in Bedford, I realized that during the last 8 years of our current administration, they have promoted abortion, funded Planned Parenthood, removed laws protecting the unborn and attacked the Catholic Church, especially the Little Sisters of the Poor. Barack Obama is the most pro-death president in history.

The People Who Cross Your Path are God's Gifts
By Katie Zalany
Lately I’ve been doing more traveling, and have randomly met a couple special people who seemed to have something to teach me. Two things I enjoy about traveling are meeting different people and learning about their backgrounds, what they do, and what’s important to them.
