Sushi and the Traditional Catholic Mass
Sushi and the Traditional Catholic Mass
By Rexcrisanto Delson
By now, most Americans are familiar with sushi. Whether they eat it often, seldom, or never; it's no longer some strange foreign exotic food. Today, about one hundred establishments sell sushi within a twenty minute drive from my house, compared with three in 1987.

The Tenth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
The Tenth Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
“Jesus is robbed of His garments.” In the Tenth Station, we commemorate one of the many unjust humiliations that Our Savior suffered for us on His way to Golgotha. How many times have we experienced various unjust “robbings”? How many times have we been the victim of offences and negligences to our persons, our relationships, and our properties? For example…

Do you believe that Jesus Christ promised to lead the Church unto the end of the world?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ promised to lead the Church unto the end of the world?
By De Maria
Protestants say that they believe in Jesus Christ and in Scripture. But not that the Catholic Church is infallible. In fact, they don’t believe that any Church is infallible. Not even their own. What is it that they are missing?

St. Senan and the Bad Adele Impersonator
St. Senan and the Bad Adele Impersonator
By Christy Breedlove
On March 8th, the Church honors St. Senan. He’s an obscure Irish saint who lived in the Middle Ages. Most overlook this guy. St. John of God has the same feast day and John seems more important. March 8th is also my birthday. Every Dominican sister from my kindergarten class to 8th grade at St. Mary’s School in Orange, Texas always commented on how lucky I was to have a birthday as

Pope Fabian was martyred by the emperor Decius on January 20, 250. The persecuction of Christians was extreme for the next fourteen months, and the Chair of Peter remained vacant. About March, 251, the persecution lessened, probably because Decius was away, trying to fight his new rivals, the Goths

Church As Home
Church As Home
By Evelyn Augusto
I often think about what brings people to Church. I do so in response to Pope Francis' invitation to participate in The Call To A New Evangelization. Of course, there are as many ways to bring people to Church as there are people. My personal role as a member of the Pastoral Council at our parish is to figure out what some of these ways are.

A Need for a Crusade: A Spiritual Crusade
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
In modern society, we as Catholics have to fight in three frontiers. One frontier it is against Christian fundamentalism, the other frontier is false faiths, and the third and most dangerous frontier, and it is the frontier of secularism.

The Bucket List
The Bucket List
By Michelle Watkins
The concept of the 'bucket list' has always eluded me. For one, it strikes me as somewhat morbid to make an official list of things to accomplish prior to one's 'kicking the bucket'. And too, I always wonder what one does if they've achieved the list and still are quite alive. Do they create another list?

This Man
This Man
By Victor S E Moubarak
Imagine you’re a person of authority in a Court of Law. The judge, the final arbiter, whatever you say happens. And they bring to you a man. He is fairly ordinary looking and they accuse Him of saying He is the Son of God.

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

As Catholics, we should rejoice that we are members of the only earthly institution that has been given a divine guarantee of success. In Matthew’s gospel, chapter 16, Jesus instituted the Church on the Rock of St. Peter, and then the Lord said about the Church, “The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”

A 24 Hour Adoration: "Behold, the bridegroom! Go forth to meet him!"
A 24 Hour Adoration: "Behold, the bridegroom! Go forth to meet him!"
By Evelyn Augusto
The story you are about to read is true. Only the names have been omitted to offer anonymity. Not everyone who attends a 24 Adoration can expect to experience what is described below, but remember this: If one doesn’t place oneself before the Most Blessed Sacrament (in most cases, exposed), one may never get to experience Our Lord at work in such a poignant way.

Your relationship with Jesus
By George Calleja
Many people claim that they have a relationship with Jesus. But what does a relationship with Jesus mean? Is your relationship with Jesus resulting in peace with your neighbour? Are you helping the needy and poor and being one with them?
