The Journey-A Few Insights
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The lure of the journey is an ancient one. Whether striking out to head toward an unexplored west, risking a small fleet of boats to see what is on the other side of the earth or sending spaceships into the sky to discover other life in the majestic universe, the need to explore can be as fierce as a craving.

Give Me Strength to Trust
Give Me Strength to Trust
By Veronica Dannemiller
I recently spoke with a priest, telling him that I found myself lacking in trust of God - I am too afraid to let go. I told him that I like to write in my journal, that it helps me feel better. He suggested that I write what God's response to me might be. I wrote this letter to God from the heart, and I wrote what I thought Jesus would say in response to me.

It's Time to Take Back Fridays
By Sterling Jaquith
For most of my life, I have considered Fridays to be a big party! Who doesn’t love making it to the end of the week so you can kick back and enjoy your weekend? Fridays were for happy hours, hanging your business suit up in the closet, forgetting about your work email and enjoying life. And the excitement over Friday starts buzzing Thursday night. “Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?”

The days of asking someone to take your picture in front of a monument or scenic attraction are over. We can now do it on our own with a selfie stick. Isn’t life grand?

Why Do I Love Mary?
Why Do I Love Mary?
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
Mary is more than just a figure of Christianity. Mary is my Mother. She is the Mother of all Christians. No one can have God as their Father without having the Immaculate Conception as their Mother. “Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much.

God Doesn't Need You
God Doesn't Need You
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
Back in the day it sometimes happened that women who were in abusive marriages were forced to stay with their husbands because they had no means of supporting themselves and social stigma would have made life unbearable for them if they had left; leaving their own lives, and sometimes the lives of their children in danger. They were entirely reliant on their spouse.

Where is the joy? Go on a Treasure Hunt!
By Sterling Jaquith
I have been Catholic for five years now and it still amazes me the lack of joy I see from our faith community. If you are not joyful, you have missed the point. Trust me, I used to be just like you.

What is the cup of God's wrath? How does it differ from the chastisement of God's children?
What is the cup of God's wrath? How does it differ from the chastisement of God's children?
By De Maria
Protestants say that God the Father poured out the Cup of His wrath upon His beloved Son. Its hard for me to believe and it seems unbibilical. Scripture says: Nahum 1:2 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
