Baptism His and Ours
Baptism His and Ours
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Baptism. Most us were not aware of what was happening. Our parents made the decision for us when we were blissfully unaware. And in this twenty-first-century, more and more parents choose not to baptize their child. The stated reasons vary. But these are a sample of those I hear and read. 'We don't need church to be spiritual', 'we can pray anywhere'.

Can you be Engaged? Can you "Get It"?
Can you be Engaged? Can you "Get It"?
By Lorrie McNickle
We just don’t get it and we are not engaging ourselves. Most of us remain very lukewarm Catholics, and not just in our daily practice of our Faith, but in our weekly obligation of Mass.

Who is that woman Babylon?
Who is that woman Babylon?
By De Maria
Protestants claim that the woman, Babylon, in Revelations, Chapters 17 and 18, is a reference to the Catholic Church. A study of the Scriptures does not bear this out.

Blessed William Carter
Blessed William Carter
By Christy Breedlove
I like to read about dead people—obscure saints in particular. Odd macabre hobby but it’s not usually something that will get me admitted to a mental health facility, unless I start communing with the dead. I try to find a correlation between my obscure saint of the week and my harried life.

What makes us fulfilled?
What makes us fulfilled?
By George Calleja
In the past months, many friends of mine have faced difficult times in their lives. Some had a relative who passed away, others experienced problems in their marriage, some faced health difficulties, such as undergoing a major operation. These situations made me wonder about life.

The Word of God subsists in man
By De Maria

Our Lady Untier of Knots: A Personal Reflection
Our Lady Untier of Knots: A Personal Reflection
By Frank J. Maduri
In reflecting on the Feast of the Epiphany earlier today with the three kings finding the Child Jesus in the arms of His mother, Mary, I began my afternoon prayers. One of my routine practices in the past 18 months or more is to pray to Our Lady Untier of Knots. In my quiet contemplation today, I thought of how I was introduced to this new prayer devotion and decided to share it with this audience

Reflections of Faith: Part Four, Finding Faith
Reflections of Faith: Part Four, Finding Faith
By Allison Brown
When my husband and I were dating I was far away from the Church. Years of being dragged to Sunday Mass and sitting through boring sermons that I did not understand how or why they related to my life was no great loss for me. Or so I foolishly thought, anyway.

Christians Come Home!
Christians Come Home!
By Tom Collins
There is an organization called “Catholics Come Home” doing great work helping Catholics return to the Church. As Catholics, however, I believe we have a duty to bring all Christians home to the Church Jesus founded 2000 years ago. I believe most Protestants are very good people; however, they are following a form of Christianity founded on faulty principles.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst….51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

History, Hubris and Hook Shots (Pt 2)
History, Hubris and Hook Shots (Pt 2)
By Ross Decker
When last we met, I was with Protestant friends on the golf course lamenting the "lost" fifteen hundred years of Church history. In fact, I was still a Protestant myself at that time. But that would not be the case for much longer. I'd been in a Protestant church for more than thirty five years and had grown accustomed to seeing everything through a Protestant filter.

Three Catholic Principles for the Gun Control Debate
Three Catholic Principles for the Gun Control Debate
By Leonard Wathen
Gun control is one of the most hotly debated issues in American politics today. On one extreme there are those who seem to think that guns can and should be completely legislated out of American life. On the other extreme are those who seem to think that our communities would be safer if everyone carried a concealed weapon.

I'm Not Religious, I'm Spiritual
I'm Not Religious, I'm Spiritual
By Jill Fishman
We hear this statement a lot now a days, “I’m not religious, I’m spiritual.” Some people seem to say it with a sense of pride as if they are somehow superior to those who identify with a specific religion. To not claim a religion allows one to make his own rules, like making a pot of soup and kind of throwing in whatever ingredients sound best at the time.
