An Open Letter to Whoever Thinks Their Lent Failed
By Josie Portz
First of all, I should say that I’m right there along with you. I had so many ideas about how to make this the best Lent ever. I was going to make so many sacrifices and spend so much time in prayer.

Into Thy Hands . . .
Into Thy Hands . . .
By Richard Maffeo
Oh, thanks be to God for Jesus’ example – deep and abiding love for God, a love birthed in a lifetime of prayer and meditation of the Scriptures and seeking His face above all other faces – Jesus is our example of what we too can say when faced with depression, heartache, terror, loss . . . we can learn to say it from the depths of our being: Father, “Into Thy hands I commit my spirit.”

That Long, Last mile....
That Long, Last mile....
By Steve Reasbeck
On Saturdays, I deliver the Eucharist to a local Hospital here. Holy Communion. Literally and physically, the Body of Christ. Think about that for a moment. Let that sink in.

Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
By Evelyn Augusto
I have thought a lot about the so called "Catholic 'Man-Crises" that our Church is presently faced with. I ponder the dilemma because I am, by nature, a problem solver. As I am out in the world, I am usually on a fact-finding mission related to one thing or another in an attempt to resolve something. For now, I am watching the goings-on at the Church.
