Remain in God's love
Remain in God's love
By Michael Ogundele
The Times are sad, the days are in turmoil; the cloud is falling sore from the feet of the sky, where do we go to? Who do we call upon? Just one, one sole person in the entire universe, that one who has send us forth into the world--Jesus. You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. John 15:16

What the Bible Really Says about Judging Others
By Richard Maffeo
On April 3, 2014 LifesiteNews.com reported Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois supported a priest in his diocese who refused Holy Communion to a Catholic politician.

Why I go to Daily Mass
Why I go to Daily Mass
By Tess Shore
It seems every week someone will come up to me and ask me Why I go to Daily Mass? I know that I am the youngest person in Church on most occasions. I get the comments from friends such as "You don't need a church to pray." Or my favorite comment of how can the priest be Jesus. You can talk to Jesus anywhere. Yes, they have valet points and I can quote them Bible versus to make a point.

Finding God in 140 Characters or Less
Finding God in 140 Characters or Less
By Trish Stukbauer
Can any of you religious people out there tell me where God was in this tragedy? That plea went out several months ago on an acquaintance’s social media page after a particularly horrific story hit the news. While my first instinct was to start typing, I ultimately chose not to respond.

Religion & Politics
Religion & Politics
By Matthew Newsome
It is common to hear the opinion expressed that religion has no place in politics. I hear these sentiments expressed by my religious and non-religious friends alike. My strong suspicion is that what people mean by “keep religion out of politics” is that we should not legislate morality.

Words Have Meaning
Words Have Meaning
By Rusty Korhonen
Words have meaning. Language has a purpose and it can convey much more than just simple communication. We are fighting a war of language right now, and it is far more prevalent than you could imagine. This war is not a silly one of improper grammar, but a very serious war that reaches into the depths of our societal soul.

Pope and Church Bashing - Stop It! Now!
Pope and Church Bashing - Stop It! Now!
By David R. Myers
Recently, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, issued an encyclical on Climate Change entitled “Laudato Si” , which translates into English as “Praise Be to You.” The reaction to the Encyclical was immediate, as anything the Pope says is. Leftists were praising him and aligning themselves with him in the same way that Gay Marriage advocates did when he said gays should be welcomed and treated as equal

Why Do You Remain Catholic?
Why Do You Remain Catholic?
By Nina Rizzo
The world I grew up in was Catholic. I am first generation American; my parents are from Italy and came to this country after they were married and landed by ship in New York harbor. All my relatives made the same voyage and still live within walking distance of my childhood home.

Migration
Migration
By Josef Bordat
In 1492, Christopher Columbus reached the island of Guanahani, which he named “San Salvador”. Columbus and his crew were accepted enthusiastically by the natives. Each year ten thousands of refugees from Africa reach the Canary Islands. They survived the risky crossing, which seems as dangerous as the crossing of the conquistadors 500 years ago.

Laudato Si' Challenges Liberal and Conservative Views on Nature
Laudato Si' Challenges Liberal and Conservative Views on Nature
By Nathan Barontini
Let me guess. You’re a Catholic, but your views on “the environment” are drawn more from your political affiliation than from Church teaching. If so, Pope Francis’ new encyclical Laudato si’ will challenge you, whether you’re liberal or conservative.

Blessed Be the Name of the LORD
Blessed Be the Name of the LORD
By Jennifer Elia
In Biblical history and Jewish tradition, the name of God is so sacred, so revered, that it is never uttered. Even Moses, who is the one mere mortal that comes closest to seeing God face to face and lives to tell about it, is only given a descriptive title when he asks for God's name. "I AM who AM."

Being Where Jesus Is
Being Where Jesus Is
By Matt Warner
About six months ago my wife and I became the youth ministers of a parish that did not have a youth program. Not a day goes by that we don't love what we are doing. But also, not a day goes by that we don't ask ourselves, “What in the world have we gotten ourselves into?”

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 2: Everything is Gift
What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 2: Everything is Gift
By Carl Sommer
The monastic tradition, which began already late in the third century and was shifting into high gear in the first half of the fourth century, stressed the importance of human initiative in the process of growth in holiness. This is understandable. Monks have deliberately taken on a difficult task; learning to live together in harmony even with a community of like minded men or women

The Most Important Lesson
The Most Important Lesson
By Tess Shore
According to the American Catholic Organization, "The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual persons deserve respect, justice and pastoral care." While sitting in Sunday Mass with Mass being said by a priest, who I highly respect, gave the most thought provoking issue on the Supreme Court Decision with Homosexuals.

In God We Trust, That's Why We Pay Cash
In God We Trust, That's Why We Pay Cash
By Jennifer Elia
At a recent homeschooling conference, I had to bail a friend out because the vendor selling the books she needed would not take cash. That's right, they would take checks, credit, debit, anything but cash. It is very curious, however, I have realized more and more how we have gotten away from the use of cash.
