Blue Economy in Lent (Part 1)
By Juan Trujillo
Hey!! Blue ones!! How are you? I have become blue, since I knew about this, and I’m in that process, I expect that you too could consider it. Not just preserve but regenerate.

Pet Peeves From the Pews
Pet Peeves From the Pews
By Mike Bugal
In actuality, these points I’m about to bring up are not so trivial as to be called “pet peeves”, but that general classification will do for now. There are certain actions that I see even in our parish here in the Philippines, where reverence for the things of God is generally a way of life.

Love to the loveless shown
Love to the loveless shown
By Fr. Bede Camera, O.S.B.
God’s love for you and for me is so great that at the lowest point in our lives, at the moment when we have found ourselves to be the most despicable, in a time of bitter and tragic failure when weakness and sin had all but annihilated us or when we have done inestimable harm to others—at precisely that moment, the God Who is Love, through his suffering and death, reached down to us from the cross

At the Crossroads of Sin, Forgiveness, and Mercy
At the Crossroads of Sin, Forgiveness, and Mercy
By none
Regularity and routine fill our lives with ease and comfort. We’re content to wake up each day, knowing what it will bring. It’s no wonder then that the prayer we recite the most regularly during Mass, The Our Father, is spoken in monotone voices.

What is wrong with being judgmental?
What is wrong with being judgmental?
By Tony Jesse
The modern culture can be manipulative at projecting ideas through words. In this sense, they can change people’s concept of a word through clever marketing. A slogan going around today churned up by the pop culture is: “don’t be so judgmental.”

Do You Go to Mass every Week? Well Good, but That is NOT What It's All About
By Lorrie McNickle
Are you one of those Catholics who practices the Faith by going to Mass or “Church’ every Sunday? Do you then leave Mass and not have much thought about God again until the next Sunday?

St. John of the Cross Poetry Reflection Part 4 The Spiritual Canticle
St. John of the Cross Poetry Reflection Part 4 The Spiritual Canticle
By Tim Hatch
Christ, the bridegroom, responds to his bride. He is fulfilling the bride's deepest desire, of which she spoke of at the end of her discourse in the last reflection "as she rests in delight in the sweet garden of her desire." The imagery St. John of the Cross uses to describe this is very intimate, at the level which is only found within the context of marriage.

But...did you love me?
By Allyson Rae
I had such a beautiful, inspiring, and love-filled weekend. Valentine’s Day can do that to you, yeah. But now it's time to get down to the reality of things. How do I share that love with others?

Deep Waters
Deep Waters
By Mike Bugal
I love reading the prophetic books of the Old Testament as well as the sole prophetic book of the New: Revelation. Most of God’s dealings through the Prophets was with the nation and people of Israel. However, many times there is not only a temporal meaning to the verses but also a spiritual one. That is most definitely the case with Isaiah and Ezekiel.

The Second Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
The Second Station of the Cross: A Mercy Reflection
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Although I hadn’t really thought about it until I started writing this reflection, I realize now how strongly I have been influenced by years of experiencing Franciscan meditations during Lenten Stations of the Cross devotions.

Christ, the Rebel
Christ, the Rebel
By Ana R. Plumlee
As surprising and blasphemous as it might sound, Jesus Christ was a rebel. He was someone who always maintained his integrity, was compassionate toward others, a healer, and a reconciler. What makes Him a rebel is how He lived.

Did the Catholic Church give us the Bible?
Did the Catholic Church give us the Bible?
By De Maria
In everyday speech, “Sacred Scripture” is used interchangeably with, “the Bible”. And in most contexts, there is no problem with that. But not in this one. Because the Catholic Church certainly gave us the Bible, but the Catholic Church did not give us all of Sacred Scripture.

St. John of the Cross Poetry Reflections Part 3 Selections from The Spiritual Canticle
By Tim Hatch
The Spiritual Canticle is an extensive dialogue between Christ, the Bridegroom, and his bride, the human soul. This dialogue is like that of the Psalms found in Scripture. Like the Psalmist, St. John of the Cross in this poem speaks of both joy and suffering.

Rediscover Jesus Day 1
Rediscover Jesus Day 1
By Lori Conklin
Starting each Lenten journey is in fact a new beginning. It is a chance to slow down re-evaluate, consider and ponder the state of our spiritual life. At least that how it is for me. I always have such high expectations that just because it is Lent, I will somehow magically be able to overcome the most habitual temptations. Like Frodo and the ring,

Both, and
Both, and
By Faith-Full Writer
Today, at Confession, I was challenged. Not to think of my sins, which came to mind far too easily. Not to confess them, though I was hesitant to say out loud how I'd failed God recently. No, my challenge came in the form of the penance.
