What is a ‘Practicing Catholic'?
What is a ‘Practicing Catholic'?
By Bill Dunn
On a busy New York City street, a man approached a stranger and asked, “Excuse me, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?” The other man solemnly replied, “Practice, practice, practice.” Practice is an interesting word. One definition is: “repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency.”

Since When Does Habitual Mortal Sin Constitute A New Human Species?
Since When Does Habitual Mortal Sin Constitute A New Human Species?
By Roberta Lambert
The whole world has gone nuts about this sin. Satan must be giving bonuses to the inventors of this plan to make insanity actually believable to so much of the world. My catholic schooled 16-year-old-nephew is not going to Holy Communion because "He does not want to contribute to the meanness of the Catholic Church in not letting homosexuals get married."

I had a sexual identity crisis and didn't know it
By Pam Spano
You’ve probably seen quite a bit about this topic in the news and social media. Kids (and adults) having what is being called “a sexual identity crisis." When I was a little girl, I was considered what was then called a “tom boy.” I was born in 1952 and I grew up on comic book super heroes (all male) and westerns (again, all male characters).

Is Pro-Choice Actually "Pro-Choice"?
Is Pro-Choice Actually "Pro-Choice"?
By Tiffany Germain
People in support of pro-choice believe that the expecting woman should be able to choose the outcome of their pregnancy. Some may even disagree with abortions, but they still think that it is the woman’s choice. Without really bringing the baby into this article, I want to focus on the whole “choice” word. If someone is pro-choice, they should be for the option that has more of an actual choice.

Sometimes God Speaks in Dreams
Sometimes God Speaks in Dreams
By Elizabeth Thomas
It ain’t easy being a dreamer! Many were the times that dreams came in the night. Vivid dreams, sometimes in color, with distinct details that left a deep memory of the dream in my mind. Upon waking these dreams would go into my journals and prayer would be prayed for an interpretation. God does speak to us in dreams. There is no doubt about this, for I have seen them come true, and also

The 2014 Religious Landscape Study by Pew Research revealed some discouraging data about millennials. If the numbers are accurate, many young adults are choosing to reject the Catholic Faith as a relevant, viable alternative for their lives.

Why Would Anyone Pray the Litany of Humility?
Why Would Anyone Pray the Litany of Humility?
By Emily Borman
I love the Litany of Humility! However, it was not love at first sight. I remember the first time someone mentioned the prayer to me. I wasn’t familiar with it so I googled. I made the sign of the Cross and immediately began praying the prayer; but I couldn’t digest the words.

Homilies Not Horoscopes
Homilies Not Horoscopes
By Michelle Watkins
I once shared a spiritual revelation with a coworker. I told her about a time when I was a Sunday Mass and the homily fit perfectly with the status of current events in my personal life. I told her it was as if the words were targeted directly to me, meant specifically for events during that particular week.

The Real Reason: Why We do Good Works
The Real Reason: Why We do Good Works
By Michelle Watkins
I used to work with an individual who very openly and aggressively challenged my Catholic faith on a frequent basis. Often these ‘attacks’ would leave me feeling sad, frustrated or angry. But also quite often these verbal assaults would make me delve deeper into my own faith. I would study the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘why’ of the Catholic faith with earnest.

Choose more than the Morsel
Choose more than the Morsel
By Susan Skinner
I read the above verse earlier this week, and something has been sticking out at me all week, so I decided to write it down. It’s the fact that Judas, the betrayer, who walked with Jesus, took a morsel from Jesus right before he allowed Satan to enter him. And he did not stick around for the Institution of the Eucharist.

Beautiful Days
Beautiful Days
By Lori Conklin
It’s a normal Friday morning, I am on my way to the local grocery store, and I am hoping to be in and out. It’s not that I don’t like shopping, it’s just that it’s a gloomy day and I would rather be sleeping. I am greeted as I walk into the store and still think it is funny, I remember a time there wasn’t a need for a formal greeter, as people were just friendlier.

Standing Up for Large Families in our 'Tolerant' Modern Society
Standing Up for Large Families in our 'Tolerant' Modern Society
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Large families are an anomaly in desperate need of an advocate in modern society. A prompt on a health website asked, “Are you an advocate for any cause?”I sputtered to myself, “I am not an advocate for anything or anybody!” Immediately after that statement, a new idea popped into my mind, “Hey, wait a minute. I stand up for large families in modern society!”
