The Assumption of Joseph
The Assumption of Joseph
By Dennis P McGeehan
August 15 is the date the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates the Assumption of Mary into Heaven Body and Soul.

This teaching makes sense on so many levels that as early as the fourth century it was a popular belief among the faithful that Mary was brought body and soul into heaven

What is the cost???
What is the cost???
By Jean Smith
We see it everywhere we turn; price tags on the things we buy. It shows us the total cost. As Catholics, we must think in different terms when we hear the word “cost”. We were all bought and paid for by the blood of Christ. In His perfect passion, Jesus paid the ultimate price to free us from our sins.

Grace: That Elusive Reality
Grace: That Elusive Reality
By Patricia Mann
What is grace? Ask a dozen people, get a dozen answers. Perhaps the simplest definition I have ever heard is “God’s life in us.” While accurate and true, this definition only begins the scratch the surface of the workings of this great mystery that is as profound as God himself.

The Apocalypse Letters to the Seven Churches and Seven Ages of the Church
The Apocalypse Letters to the Seven Churches and Seven Ages of the Church
By Scott Pauline
Some Christian scholars, even Catholics ones, have conjectured that there are seven ages, or phases, of history to the Church, that can be imaged in the seven letters to the Churches at the introduction to the Apocalypse. Of course, with Protestant ones, many times such layers will eventually be aimed negatively at the Catholic Church, so that the Church obviously cannot accept these.

The Greatest Challenge in Modern Times
The Greatest Challenge in Modern Times
By Donna Kendall
Perhaps the most powerful and significant message etched into the gospels of Jesus Christ is this: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength [and] ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:30-32).

The Big Issues in The Big Short
The Big Issues in The Big Short
By Adam Gonzalez
The most striking scene in the film The Big Short directed by Adam McKay is not one in which a big financial deal is made or in which the carelessness of a real estate mogul becomes very clear to the audience. The most striking scene in the film occurs when, all of a sudden, being right suddenly feels wrong, and all the money that is to be made by a very small group of people is now me
