Set your table: A reflection for the offertory
Set your table: A reflection for the offertory
By Elizabeth Hoyle
I don’t know about you, but it has always been difficult for me to focus during the offertory when I’m at Mass. Between the homily ending and the Eucharistic prayer beginning, it is incredibly tough for me to concentrate on what is taking place, since up to this point, I’ve been so focused on the readings and the homily.

Does this soul need to be saved?
Does this soul need to be saved?
By Kathy Lamb
There I was in church on the first Friday of Lent for the Stations of the Cross. It’d been years since I went to the Stations of the Cross but for the new me, this was a must. Participation was sparse. I felt bad about that. I was in a pew by myself. The man in front of me was in the pew by himself.

How Do You Live in a Season of Waiting?
How Do You Live in a Season of Waiting?
By Katie Zalany
Our faith lives consist of quite a bit of waiting. Waiting for the next step to become clear. Waiting for God to answer a prayer. Waiting for our path and vocation to be revealed. Waiting to understand God’s purpose and hand in our life circumstances. Waiting to find happiness and fulfillment.

The big mistake "Me Before You" makes
The big mistake "Me Before You" makes
By Josie Portz
The film and its advocates will try to argue that Me Before You is a story about loving someone despite the choices they make, and so the story is beautiful and worth your time, but they are missing a bigger picture. What is beautiful? What is good? What is true? Not this story.

(not so) Satisfied
(not so) Satisfied
By Janice Bostic
Last weekend's gospel came from Saint Luke, and it has been on my mind all week long. It's a familiar reading. Even as a Protestant, I heard it over and over. I dare say even the non-religious type knows the story of the loaves and fishes. Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish.

I want to peer deeper into the wall.
By Kathy Lamb
In my work with families at risk, I’ve been in homes with major electrical problems. One trailer had no running water and only one working electrical plug. I would have had to make a report to Child Protective Services after the baby was born but that was taken out of my hands

Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy
Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy

Our feet walk the Way of Jesus, the Way of truth. Our feet are meant to walk in the path of the way. The way is lit by the truth. Christ is the truth! Hence, why shouldn't the details of Jesus' crucified feet reveal deep specificity of the truth of Christ, manifested in five great fountains, as the five toes of the human foot

A Reflection of Eternity…
By Br. Gustavo Kralj, EP
At the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, on the far western edge of the old city, rises the centuries-old Alcázar of Segovia, Spain, with majestic splendour. Jutting from a rocky crag above the confluence of the Clamores and Eresma Rivers, it has defied the elements and time itself, its soaring silhouette dominating the surrounding landscape.

Pope Saint Caius, Encourager
By Debra Booton McCoy
Knowing our own history makes us value it more. To know the history of the Church makes us value her further. Even those people who are far into the depths of anonymity should be brought to the surface and looked at, however briefly.

What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful
What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful
By Tony Crescio
What is a human being? I know, this sounds like a silly question, but take a moment and try to answer it. If we take the prevailing knowledge of the day, we will get answers that are just as confused as the ones I receive from the students whom I present this question to.
