Guide to Attending College Pt 3: The Dictatorship of Relativism

Poetry: Veni Ad Crucem Christi
Poetry: Veni Ad Crucem Christi
By Bridget Colombini
I stumble into the chapel and sit at your feet with a heart full of turmoil. I look at your heart, open out of love for me, and I long. I sit here and I dream to love another, to give the gift of self to another. Yet with this desire, I must wait. For there is none to take my soul.

No Plateaus In the Spiritual Life
No Plateaus In the Spiritual Life
By Lindsey Kettner
You may have heard it said that there are no plateaus in the spiritual life, that at any given moment you are moving closer or further away from God, but never remaining in the same place. Others have said that the spiritual journey is a series of valleys and mountains; you’re either moving up or moving down.

Say Two Words and You'll Never Go to Hell
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A priest, questioning the First Communion class prior to their first confession, asked, "What's the first thing you must do to get your sins forgiven?" Little Tommy blurted out his answer with enthusiastic but naive conviction: "The first thing ya gotta do is go out and commit some sins!"

On ambulance rides, St. John of the Cross, and learning how to love
By Ginny Kochis
I was supposed to host Junior Book Club that Friday. I’d spent most of the week trying to shorten my miles-long to-do list. It never seemed to get any shorter, and by the end of the week I was fixated on it. So much so that Thursday afternoon found me crafting a last minute plan of action.

Happy Birthday, Church!
Happy Birthday, Church!
By Dianne Marie
When we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost. We wore red to signify the tongues of fire that descended upon the apostles. We also got to sing a sequence. The sequence is only required on certain feasts, Pentecost being one of them. The sequence is used to increase the solemnity of the feast, while allowing us to further explore the celebration. Think of it as extra frosting of our already delicious

A Response to Steven Crowder From a "Wimpy" Pro-lifer
A Response to Steven Crowder From a "Wimpy" Pro-lifer
By Jessie DiCicco
If you truly care about ending abortion, a condescending course of action is never going to be the right option. We must be selective with our words towards those who do not share the same opinion on abortion or are actually living with the consequences of acting on that opinion. We are not being advocates of life if we are tearing down the inner life of the mother.

Grow With Good News Ministries
By Carol Ann Chybowski

False Peace – What Is That?
False Peace – What Is That?
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
Being About Peace -- On the day I became a secular final oblate of St. Benedict in 2014, the monks and oblates greeted me with their congratulations. Some of us said Pax to each other which is Latin for peace. The Pax greeting has been used for about 1500 years by the Benedictine brothers. So I wonder about the meaning when I say peace.

A Walk by Faith
A Walk by Faith
By Carleigh Lutz
A walk by faith is probably one of the most difficult tasks we, as humans, are asked to do. I frequently like to use the analogy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, when Bilbo Baggins is in the Lonely Mountain and can see absolutely nothing. It’s a blind walk, with evil lurking in every corner. Now bring it through a new lens, and suddenly it’s the very earth we on which we walk.
