Syrians, Samaritans and Mustard Seeds
By Ross Decker
He proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.”

Happy "Turkey Day": No way!
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
I don’t know when or where the corruption of “Happy Thanksgiving” into “Happy Turkey Day” started. Perhaps it began harmlessly, innocently, with no ulterior motive—just a playful “clever” alternative to the traditional greeting for the holiday we celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November.

Are we Sacrificing our Citizenship in Heaven for American Patriotism
By Lorrie McNickle
We all like to proclaim that America was founded on Christian principles. Then we turn our back on brothers and sisters in need as soon as things get a little tough. I guess talk and posts are cheap and easy, but the real work of Christianity is hard and comes with a cost. Interestingly, the one person that we all deem as being a “non-Christian” seems to exhibit the most Christian stance

Of Roman Catholics and Roast Turkeys : Why You Should Go To Mass on Thanksgiving Morning
By Nate Lauer
Go to Mass on Thanksgiving! There is no more fitting action in America on Thanksgiving Day than to do so. Think about the following: The word Eucharist actually means “thanksgiving”. How perfect is that? At the Last Supper, Our Lord gave thanks to the Father in instituting the Eucharist! The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that the Eucharist is “…an action of thanksgiving to God.”

Our Shepherd Among Us: Reminiscences and Reflections (Part One)
By Justin Soutar
Towards the end of last month, our Holy Father Pope Francis made his eagerly anticipated Pastoral Visit to the United States.

Philadelphia and Pope Francis
By Tess Shore
It was time for Philadelphia to shine on many fronts especially since we had millions of people coming to our city to see the beloved Pope. We wrote songs. We painted murals. We even did a Grotto of Knots. We had security beyond the normal days.

Fostering Gratitude in the Workplace
By Jessica Skelton
Here’s a practical way to foster gratitude in the workplace: keep track of it and draw attention to it. I work an inside sales position, processing quotes and orders, and managing projects, so I spend a large part of my days communicating through email, opening & closing files, programs and reports, researching products online, and organizing and presenting information.

12 Early Church Quotes That Will Challenge Protestants
By Arnold Scott
It is very exciting to be in full communion with the very same community that Jesus Christ established. Whether in 40 AD or today, this community is the very same one that has been continued through apostolic succession, unity with St. Peter and his successors, the sacraments, the preaching of the Word of God in Scripture, Sacred Tradition in the liturgy, the creeds, ecumenical councils,

The Lie of White Privilege
By Karl Erickson
As a Catholic, I understand guilt. It has the power to make us better men and women of God. As we examine ourselves and come before the Lord to seek forgiveness, guilt can be a pointed and personal reminder of the redemptive power of Christ and the need for the Sacrament of Penance.
