Celebrate Or Not
By Mariel Roersma
Lent has begun. People are trying to get used to sacrificing, spending extra time in prayer, and not eating meat on Friday's. There is always a lot of discussion about whether Sunday's count as a day of Lent. Some think it does, while others don't. There are those who sacrifice on Sunday, and those who don't. So can you celebrate on Sunday or not?

Why God Did Not Care That Scalia Was a Supreme Court Justice: Celebrating a Life of Public Faith
By Justin McClain
Before we advance any further, it is worth asserting that the title of this article should not be construed, in the least, as placing into question the merits of Scalia’s role within public service vis-à-vis the scope of his veritable destiny, celestial or otherwise. In fact, the intent is quite the opposite,

Rosaries, Pre-prayed!
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
After the breakup of the USSR, Rosaries were sent from a parish in this country to people who had long been deprived of Sacraments and sacramentals. Two things struck me about those Rosaries that were being sent: they had been handmade, and they were being pre-prayed!

"I Thirst" A Lenten Reflection on Terri Schiavo
By Norman Fulkerson
It is a yearly custom for Catholics to reflect, during Lent, on the Passion and death of our Divine Savior. He was entirely innocent of wrongdoing, yet was ignominiously subjected to a show trial and condemned to a brutally painful death. This year many Catholics will also be thinking of the strikingly similar demise of an innocent woman named Theresa Marie Schiavo

The Culture of Lent
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Ordinarily, I don't consider culture and Lent in the same phrase but in determining what to call my thoughts and ideas about Abraham, Moses, The Transfiguration and metanoia, I realized how fitting is the word culture to describe these people, that event and a new way of thinking and living.

Shrove Tuesday (2/9/16): Mardi Gras Alternative
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
When I first learned about and began to practice the Divine Mercy Devotion, it was a Jesuit priest, as well as one of his laywomen parishioners, who, for a number of years, were instrumental in my Faith journey. Through them, I came to appreciate the dynamic faith of my New Orleans brothers and sisters. I say that to put into context what I am about to say next.

Taking Down the Tree
By Ana Braga-Henebry
I kept the tree up as long as I possibly could. It always seems to me that while the tree—with its bright, cheerful lights, shiny ornaments and red ribbons--is still up, so linger the full, warm days of Christmas.

Pope Saint Anterus
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope Pontian was arrested by the soldiers of Emperor Maximinus the Thracian in the early fall of 235. He was sent to his death in the mines of Sardinia along with Hippolytus, the writer and theologian, who had been his nemesis. Shortly before leaving, Pontian chose to keep the Church orderly by abdicating his position as the bishop of Rome on September 28 of that year.

By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Jubilee Year Ash Wednesday, on February 10th, is fast approaching. On that day, as our foreheads are signed with ash-crosses, some of us will be invited to change our lives and believe in the Gospel. Others of us will be reminded that we are dust, and into dust we will return.

By Rexcrisanto Delson
For most Catholics, Christmas season has ended, but there are many who keep the traditional Christmastide season alive until the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary on February 2nd.

How I came to know about the Divine Mercy Devotion...with twists and turns...
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Here’s how those two Scripture verses played out in my life with regard to the Divine Mercy Devotion. I share this series of “twist and turn” experiences so that if you are facing “tough times,” you may have hope that inasmuch as God always is faithful to His promises, in the end, if you cooperate with His Grace, things will be more than okay!

Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God Has Rules.
By Larry Peterson
How did this principle of ethics and morality based on the Ten Commandments and Natural Law somehow become a pariah to so many? Why would anyone want to remove the words, "under God", from the Pledge of Allegiance or the name of God from our coins or government buildings? What has happened in America?
