The Lover's First Concern
By Kara Klein
A long time ago I met a man who was everything I wanted and more. He had the perfect job, background, faith, intellect and personality for me. But (drum roll please!)… He could not have cared less about me if he tried. For months I could not get away from this guy. I would see him everywhere, and he would avoid me like the plague.

Lenten 'Me' Time
By Michelle Watkins
I recall my days in parochial school vividly. One such recollection is preparing for the Lenten season. Number-two pencils in hand, we sat in our desks and scribbled out our Lenten resolutions in our best attempts at cursive writing.

Forget Cupid, Go St. Valentine!
Forget Cupid, Go St. Valentine!
By Melanie R. Cameron
In 2007, my husband and I traveled to Dublin on our honeymoon. We were blessed to be able to visit and to pray at the relics of St. Valentine quietly and beautifully displayed at a Carmelite Shrine in the heart of Dublin City. I say it's worth the trek.

I have been to Lourdes three times since October, 2012. I am now so familiar with it that last September I spent five days and five nights alone there. But there, I am never alone.

Recently the Anti-Defamation League conducted a global survey asking questions about the Holocaust.

The rejection of a history so recent and so well documented boggles the mind.
