An Old Man and a Little Girl
An Old Man and a Little Girl
By Andree Ory
“ Lord, have mercy on me!” I thought as I scrambled into the pew looking appropriately and mournfully dressed, but not as respectfully recollected as I would like to have been for Mr. James’ funeral.

Thou Shall Not Hate.
Thou Shall Not Hate.
By Troy Kroening
The Ten Commandments are often looked upon negatively because they tell us what not to do. The sound like restrictions on our freedom. Everything has a price, though. To love, you must give up hate. To hate, you must give up love. To read this, you must give me $2.

Control
Control
By Lucas Sauls
I have to admit, I got caught up in my electronics, wanting time by myself, and just wanted to run and hide away for a while. I don’t know why that is, because I always regret that feeling after the fact. I regret what I have missed by wanting to do things on my own. That selfishness gets in the way of the moments that really mean something to me.

‘The Desire for God'
‘The Desire for God'
By George Calleja
We can meet Jesus in every moment of our lives. Jesus can be met in the poor person, the prisoner, the beggar, in any of our neighbour. In every person Jesus draws us closer to God, because in that person there is Jesus, and if we love that person we are loving Jesus, and by loving Jesus....He draws us closer to God.

Out of Spite
Out of Spite
By Lucas Sauls
For me, personally, letting go of pent up anger towards someone is hard sometimes. I have written about finally letting that go before. My natural instinct is to come back at someone in a spiteful way.

The Dragon, the Woman, and all of Church History
The Dragon, the Woman, and all of Church History
By Scott Pauline
In preterism, the Woman of Apocalypse 12 is mostly the Virgin, and most of the dragon scenes are symbolizing early events in Mary and Jesus’ life as the dragon pursued them with Herod and the wicked empire, etc. In futurism, the Fundamentalists think the Woman is modern Israel, etc, which is absurd for Catholics.

If God is Love...
If God is Love...
By Daniel R Ball
I was thinking about the concept of love and about the concept of grace. And it occurred to me that the two are inseparable. Actually, it may not be possible to love without grace. Grace is the infusing of God's love into our lives and our actions, and it is culminated in our acceptance and application of that love. Love is grafted and woven into our nature as human beings.

How to do small things with great love, even when we are tired
How to do small things with great love, even when we are tired
By Ginny Kochis
Wrestling a toddler into his diaper is the worst time to consider one’s current status. And yet there I was, attempting to stave off my son’s third Huggie death roll, staring darkly out the window at the hydrangeas below. I was done. Done with the diapering. Done with the nagging. Done with the unmade beds, the cluttered countertops, the constant wave of stuff threatening to overtake my home.

Unplugging from Technology; Plugging into Life
Unplugging from Technology; Plugging into Life
By Theresa Alt
I often hear of people taking a break from technology, unplugging for a few days or weeks, or giving up Facebook for Lent. My thought has always been “I don’t really need to do that. I use technology as a tool, but I’m not particularly attached to it.” I am usually the last person to get a new piece of technology. I’ve only had a cell phone for a year. I sent my first tweet a month ago.

The Church's Charism of Infallibility and the Real Presence of the Eucharist
The Church's Charism of Infallibility and the Real Presence of the Eucharist
By Nicholas LaBanca
Many Catholics today realize how important Chapter 6 of the Gospel of St. John is to our understanding of the Eucharist. Many Protestants realize this importance as well, but it seems so hard for them to understand this clear doctrine because of other reservations regarding the Church founded by Christ.

The Backwards Catholic
The Backwards Catholic
By Victoria Pangia
Like many other Christian churches, the Catholic Church shares a mission to love God, love other people, and to go make disciples. The treasures of the Catholic Church are abundant, but without God and His love they would absolutely meaningless. God's love needs to be magnified first before someone can grasp concepts such as the Eucharist.

Soldier of Christ
Soldier of Christ
By Kendra Duran
Many of you may have heard the term “Soldier of Christ” but have you ever considered yourself one? You do not need to be in a 3rd world country which houses hostility toward Christians preaching the Gospel to be considered a Soldier of Christ.
