Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 3: Encountering God
Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 3: Encountering God

People have encountered God.

Where do we find the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Bible?
By De Maria
As I’ve mentioned before, I believe that one of the best ways to understand Scripture is to first understand the Teachings of the Catholic Church, which are the basis of the New Testament. It is upon these Oral Teachings of Jesus Christ which are passed down by the Church, which are the bedrock of the New Testament.

The Holy Family's Guardian Angels
By Sherry Kenner

A Rose From Heaven

December Funeral
December Funeral
By Sue Hallett
We went to a funeral yesterday, leaving home at 7 a.m. for the 11 o’clock service, driving out of town as the wintry sun gleamed on a road slick with frost. It was a memorial for a man we’d known most of his life. He’d been, in the cruel shorthand of family, a bit of a black sheep, a relative we saw infrequently, whose lapses of character were well known to us.

Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 2: Universal Human Faith
Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 2: Universal Human Faith
By Bob Hunt
It’s an empirical fact that most people over the course of the millennia of human experience have held that God, a Supreme Being that is worthy of our reverence and worship, exists. When primitive humans looked to the heavens, they concluded that there must be some Being that is greater than human beings, greater than everything else. Humankind has always thought so.

Accepting Mary as Mother
Accepting Mary as Mother
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Sadly ironic, isn’t it? Jesus in the Eucharist, Jesus’ Visible Head of the Church: the Pope, Jesus’ Blessed Mother Mary: three pillars of our Catholic Faith are equally three stumbling blocks to unity among all Christians.

Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 1: Introduction
Evidence for the Existence of God from Experience, Part 1: Introduction
By Bob Hunt
the human experience is filled to overflowing with the experience of God. In every age, in every culture, from the earliest cave drawings to the loftiest cathedrals, people have testified to their experience of the divine. Indeed, one could argue reasonably that the experience of God is part and parcel with the experience of being human.

Let's Hear It from the Children!
Let's Hear It from the Children!
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Last winter Pope Francis visited the Roman parish of St. Joseph. One of his remarks there was eagerly snatched up by social media: "Babies cry, make noise, go here and there. But it annoys me when a baby cries in church and there are those who say he needs to go out. The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!"
