My Pal Jumbo Never Went To Mass Until----Then He Never Missed Mass Again*
By Larry Peterson
Jumbo Feeney and I grew up together in the Bronx and we have been best friends since "Hector was a pup". We can go a year without talking to each other and when we get on the phone together it is just like we spoke ten minutes ago. I love the guy. But sometimes he drives me nuts.

Don't be a Victim
Don't be a Victim
By Victoria Pangia
Rather than playing victim and dwelling in negative circumstances, think positive and appreciate what you do have. I have known people with terminal illnesses and severe physical and mental challenges. I have known people who come from very broken homes and terrible abuses. I have known people who have lost their jobs for long periods of time.

Of Foxes and Men
By John Lilly
We recently celebrated the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For us as Catholics, this is the pivotal moment in our faith. One of the poignant moments of Christ's passion is when Peter betrays him. In Luke’s account of Peter’s betrayal, Peter is around the fire with those who arrested Jesus.

Priestly Patience on Display at Catholic Funerals
By Bill Dunn

As I was meditating and praying on these readings, I imagined - what if these same archeologists uncovered another ancient text, the ancient diary, or personal journal, of the same St. Peter who figures so prominently in today’s Gospel.

Who Sees What the Almighty Sees?
By Kathy Lamb
God focuses on me and helps my love for him grow as if I were the only person on earth and, at the same time, God is favoring another person with special graces, and another with the gift of healing, and another with the scent of roses. All of this is in harmony with God’s plan.

Lazarus and the Year of Mercy
Lazarus and the Year of Mercy
By C.L. Killgore
St. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, tells us that the wage of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Last month, on March 13, we had a reading from Matthew’s Gospel in which we learn that Jesus’ friend, Lazarus, has died. It’s been on my mind ever since.

Approaching the Needle's Eye
Approaching the Needle's Eye

Growing older or aging is not for the ‘Young and Restless’ but the “Bold and Courageous and BEAUTIFUL!” Notice the soap opera themes?

Why is Pontius Pilate in the Creed? Pilate and Herod: Images of the Fall
By Scott Pauline
Not merely Pilate and some of the Jews at Jesus’ time killed Jesus. We all did, our sins. Our sins scourged Him and our sins nailed Him to the cross. But from whence arise our sins? Lies, when we believe lies. And what are the supreme lies of the dragon? They are in fact the lies of the fall.
