Be Peaceful
By Dennis McIntyre
Before I start, let me openly acknowledge that I come from long line of worriers. My mom was the type of person who if she had nothing to worry about would be worried that she didn’t know what to worry about.

The other day my wife informed me that she needed to pick up a few new outfits for work. Then she reminded me that we needed to get coffee filters and apples.

Professor Allen and Jesus
Professor Allen and Jesus
By Kathy Lamb
I was disturbed by my train of thought this evening as I drove my mother-in-law to the emergency room. I thought, “How can this intelligent, gifted, man hide truths from himself? Is it because he must reconcile what he believes to be true with what he questions in his studies?” I’ve been having heartache over some of the teachings of my professor, *Reverend Price Allen.

What Loneliness Can Teach Us about God
By Katie Zalany
God wants nothing more than to remove everything that gets in the way of Him filling us up with His love and peace. Sometimes, this means letting go of someone or something we hold close to be filled with new life and bear greater fruit.

An Open Letter to Pope Francis
An Open Letter to Pope Francis
By Michael A. Durney
Your Holiness, The world is so filled with controversy, ignorance and moral decay that I can't help but be facing a great despair. Your predecessor, Pope John Paul II, said many times, "Be not afraid." The instruction has sustained me ever since through the worst news and the seeming hopelessness of living in a sordid and sinful world.

Reflections Part 1: Christ is With Us Always
By Matthew Johnson
Our faith in the Lord Jesus is truly amazing and, without it being where it should be within the context of the Church and her guidance, life would be something else entirely. We need to remember, when viewing ourselves, that we are an important part of the Great Design that is God’s Plan.

On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
By Adam Crawford
Two of the five solae (only's) resulting from the Protestant Reformation are that of solus Christus or, "Christ alone", and soli Deo gloria or, "glory to God alone". These two seem to have been added at some point well after the initial three (the bible alone, faith alone, and grace alone), but we see them commonly included in a list of five solae by the middle of the twentieth century.

King Solomon and Our Lady: Parallel Stories

Bang, Bang. You're Dead
Bang, Bang. You're Dead
By Richard Maffeo
Exhaustion swept over me. It had been a long day at Disneyland with my young children, and I looked forward to plopping into bed at our motel room. As we stood on the corner waiting for the light to change, a red convertible raced past us and someone on the passenger side shot at me with a high-pressure water rifle. I looked up in time to hear my assailant shout, "Bang, Bang. You’re dead."
