There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help
By Larry Peterson
September 8 was the birthday of our heavenly mom, Mary. On her birthday I also always think of Mother Mary’s husband, St. Joseph. Without him there would be no birthdays to celebrate, either on September 8 or December 25. When God chose Joseph of Nazareth to be the foster-father of His only Son, He certainly knew what He was doing.

The Virgin Mary by Fr. Raymond de Saint Laurent Book Review
By Norman Fulkerson
Spiritual stagnation is not uncommon for those who strive for Christian perfection. The remedy often comes from a book that one just happens to pick up, not realizing it as a vehicle for grace. Darkness is dispelled as we turn the pages and are enlightened with truths of the faith that are presented in an attractive way.

The Prodigal Son & His Brother
By Charlie Johnston
We've all heard the story of the prodigal son, even non-believers are somewhat familiar with it. I've heard it preached on, lectured about, I've read articles and blog posts about it, I've studied it on my own, but I've always come at it from point of view of the prodigal son himself.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears
By Sandy Schading
Not long ago I had a disturbing dream about death in the Catholic school where I taught for many years. It was a dream that stuck to me and made me very anxious. Details are not important but I felt the message was urgent. However, I did not tell anyone although I felt that I needed to share it with the principal, but I did not.

The Sin of Pride
By Lorrie McNickle
Pride, is the deadliest of all vices. Yet it is the one that we seem to fall victim to the most and in the worst ways. It is also a vice veiled in what seems to be honorable and true. How many of us boast about pride in our work, our offspring, and our accomplishments? Some of us even boast of our pride in our virtue and apparent goodness.

The Fraility of Human Love Compared to God's
By Katie Zalany
Human love is so fragile. Almost everyone has been hurt by someone they’ve loved, and has lost a loved one through death or estrangement. Human love can be sweet, blessed, and wonderful one moment; and sorrowful, frustrating, and painful another moment.

Philip Rivers Most Valuable Catholic
By Mike Morris
With all of the excitement that comes with a canonization ceremony one cannot help but ponder the thought, “Am I currently living among future Catholic saints?” The answer is most likely yes, but in the spirit of the 2016 NFL season I’d like to consider one man who has almost certainly earned his halo in his twelve years as a professional athlete.

Translations
By Barry Cullum
Have you ever been in your parish priest’s office? Have you ever noticed how many books he has on bookshelves? Visit the home of a deacon. He will have as many, if not more books. Now take a look and find the Holy Bible. You won’t find one, you will find many! Most of them will not be the standard NAB Bible. What?! Why?

Can the Catholic Church Help us Reach Heaven?
By Donna Kendall
Road maps have always been fascinating works of art. They are drawn to scale and provide an aerial rendering of city locations, streets, highways, county lines, scenic markers, waterways, bridges, and bypasses. They give us a sense of how everything is connected and directional guidelines to help one arrive at a destination.

We've Been Given More Than Enough Warning
By Bill Dunn
The gospel reading at Mass this weekend is the parable of the rich man and the beggar named Lazarus. (No, not the same guy Jesus raised from the dead. Apparently, Lazarus was the first century version of Bob or Fred, that is, a very common name.) The rich man, Jesus explained, “dined sumptuously each day,” while Lazarus was “covered with sores” and “would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps
