We Were Taught Not to Lie
By Kathy Lamb
My best friend, Mary is in her 90’s. Every Saturday I meet her at church for 5 o’clock Mass. After Mass she hooks her arm in mine and I walk her to her car. Lately we’ve started going out to dinner after Mass with three of her other old lady friends, Irene, Kate and Lucille.

Skirts and Veils: A Guideline for Adoration
By Liana Eisenman-Wolford
Catholic Moms of Rochester recently hosted an Adoration night: to gather with the Blessed Sacrament for an hour, then adjourn for dessert and social time. Preparing myself, I changed from my regular mom clothes into a skirt. A change in wardrobe helps to effect a change in mindset, increasing anticipation of time spent with Christ.

Are Easter and Christmas "Satanic"?
Are Easter and Christmas "Satanic"?
By Mike Bugal
As I outlined in the previous article my Granddaughter Lara had an encounter with a respondent (who again will go unnamed) who told her that Easter is satanic. This is not a novel idea with this person but is held by extremists within Evangelical Christianity, as well as many pseudo-Christian and non-Christian cults.

When Jesus Came to Birmingham
When Jesus Came to Birmingham
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Kennedy wrote this poem during what was called ‘the great disillusion’ of the 1920’s. The English empire was crumbling, the moral certainty of the Victorian age was eroding leaving in its place only skepticism, cynicism and materialism.

Built Upon The Rock
Built Upon The Rock
By Adam Crawford
So, when I learned that the Catholic Church claimed to be infallible in her official teachings on matters of faith and morals, when I discovered that she claimed to possess the fullness of the Christian faith, when I heard her proclaim that she bore and administered the totality of the means of salvation,I found myself simultaneously offended and intrigued.

Make your faith a full-time job
Make your faith a full-time job
By Charlie Johnston
You see Scriptures are like that. Sometimes years later, something you heard, once before will come back to your mind and make sense like it never did before. Like the Jesus' parable about the sower sowing seeds, sometime seeds take a long time to start growing, but if they fall on fertile soil they will eventually grow

What We Do At Mass
What We Do At Mass
By Casey Truelove
How many of us have gone to Mass our whole lives, and know how to do all of the things at Mass, but don't really know the big picture of what we're actually doing? What about Mass is so special that the Catholic Church requires us to attend every Sunday and every Holy Day of Obligation?

Crossing the Line
Crossing the Line
By Mike Bugal
On Facebook the other day my Granddaughter posted a meme of a comparison between Saint Peter’s Cross and the Satanic cross. Someone must have told her that Catholics bless themselves with the Satanic cross and not the Cross of Christ. But she’s no pushover. She did some research and found the meme showing the difference.

Prayer Advice From The Saints
Prayer Advice From The Saints
By Kathy Lamb
When I had my conversion I started to see things differently, more clearly but I didn’t understand how I could be having a conversion. I was baptized a Catholic as a baby. My parents struggled to send all their ten kids to Catholic school. I always considered myself a Catholic but spiritually I wasn’t as connected to God as I should be.

The Four Chaplains
The Four Chaplains
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Before boarding the United States Army Transport ship Dorchester back in January, 1943, a Dutch Reformed Chaplain named Poling asked his father to pray for him, "Not for my safe return, that wouldn't be fair. Just pray that I shall do my duty...never be a coward...and have the strength, courage and understanding of men. Just pray that I shall be adequate."

It Was Done For Love of Us
It Was Done For Love of Us
By Anne Gerard
The Passion and Crucifixion of Christ are by far portions of the most horrendous acts we, as humans, have ever had to acknowledge. And acknowledge them we must, for they were the singularly most loving acts ever performed for mankind.

Write to inspire a greater love of God.
By Kathy Lamb
“If we saw the Church as she is in the most generous souls who live most truly the life of the Church, she would appear most beautiful in our sight, despite the human imperfections which are mingled with the activity of her children.

The Right and the Left
The Right and the Left
By Samuel Matthews
The Church is not a political entity. She is a spiritual entity. In this day and age, we are all too caught up in our convenient ideological labels. This person is a conservative. That person is a liberal. He is only saying that because he is a member of that party. She would think differently if she were on the other side of the aisle. But God defies our categories.

Ever since the apostle Simon Peter enrolled in M.I.T. (the Messiah Institute of Theology), he had been one of Professor Jesus’ favorite students. “The boy’s a bit hard-headed,” Jesus would comment in the faculty lounge, “but he’s got a heart of gold. I expect great things from him.”
