When life begins to matter
When life begins to matter
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Black lives matter, Latino lives matter, Asian lives matter, LBGTQ lives matter, Blue Lives Matter, all lives matter. In this “cancel culture” we are living in we are bombarded with phrases, protests, and politicians taking a stand on one side or the other. It seems there is an increasing pressure on the Church to take one side or the other.

The New York Times are A-Changing
The New York Times are A-Changing
By Bill Dunn
I recently read a book about the D-Day invasion of Normandy, one of the major turning points of World War II. On June 7, 1944, the day after D-Day, the New York Times ran a lead editorial, which read in part, “We pray for the boys we know and for millions of unknown boys who are equally a part of us….We pray for our country.” Then the editorial said the cause for which the U.S. military was fighti

Reflections on The Lincoln Conspiracy-An Appeal to the Better Angels of Our Nature
Reflections on The Lincoln Conspiracy-An Appeal to the Better Angels of Our Nature
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
As both a writer and reader, it is best to be transparent from the get-go. In that spirit, then, I have an agenda here. The recent blockbuster (my opinion, if not that of the NY Times Book Review) The Lincoln Conspiracy is a must-read.

Statues Destroyed? This "Miracle Statue" Was Preserved
Statues Destroyed? This "Miracle Statue" Was Preserved
By Kevin J. Banet
There has been a lot of destruction of statues throughout the country this summer, but one statue’s preservation seems to show how God regards his holy friends. A statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a Visitation Sisters’ garden in Brooklyn remained untouched amid the fierce tropical storm winds of Isaias on Aug. 4.

His love becomes their food
By Fr. Jude M. Serfino
When someone who is dear to us passes away, we feel the sadness and the loss beyond description. Jesus loved and honored John who prepared His way.

"Don't Give Up--Keep Trying!"
"Don't Give Up--Keep Trying!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
DON'T GIVE UP!!!! It seems daily, we come under the sneaky attack in our mind the words that will discourage you. Words like-"Oh what is the use, who cares what I do, or say." Everyone is seems, is into their own little world and any attempts to reach out to them seems to be unwanted or appreciated. "We don't want to hear about what God thinks, or what He has to say."

Catholics and Political Issues
Catholics and Political Issues
By Lorrie McNickle
Why is it that "Social Justice Catholics" seem to not care about the one social justice issue that is at the core and foundation of every other social justice issue we are suffering from in the country and world right now - abortion.

Know Your Enemy
Know Your Enemy
By Victoria Pangia
The devil is a deceiver, a liar, and a cheater. He seeks to ruin families, friendships, and individual souls. He seeks to steal, destroy, and kill. He wants you to be fearful, anxious, and depressed.

Hypocrisy In The Pews
Hypocrisy In The Pews
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
During the confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, I perused through my Facebook newsfeed and was grieved to notice that a worship leader at my husband’s non-denominational church...one who deliberately inputs the theatrical in public expressions of praise...had cheered on a leftist New Jersey senator in his dramatic rantings.

By Elizabeth Thomas
Recently, two of my good friends have shared their eye-opening stories of Covid in their lives. Both sounded the alarm---this virus is nothing to mess with. One friend, Bryan, especially was detailed in his account.

In His Shadow-In The Valley
In His Shadow-In The Valley
By Elizabeth Thomas
"Unless you have walked in the valley of Death and darkness--you have no ideal of another's pain and struggle---and that is why all who Follow Jesus must be willing to take up whatever cross that comes into their life and allow Jesus to help you carry it into His Kingdom."

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." – John 6:54
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." – John 6:54
By Troy Kroening
For some, the Catholic Church’s teaching on the Eucharist is hard to believe and sometimes a stumbling block. We must recall that it was when Jesus taught it too! In the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, we find the only time Jesus had disciples leave Him. “As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.” – [John 6:66]

With all of this chaos and suffering in our world, what can I do?  I am only one person.
With all of this chaos and suffering in our world, what can I do?  I am only one person.
By Troy Kroening
George Floyd has died tragically. COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic killing thousands. And yet, abortion is still killing the most innocent of us, even more than COVID-19. Our world is suffering. Well, of course it is. We did not need COVID-19 or the tragic death of George Floyd to know that, but sadly that is what it has taken for us to finally realize it. Are we just too dense?!?

Are you as courageous as the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
Are you as courageous as the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
By Troy Kroening
Back at the time of the Declaration of Independence, the signers became the most wanted men. The British wanted to make an example of these men. The signers knew this. John Hancock’s large signature seemed to be a taunt to the British; “come and get me”. These men had courage and lived in hope that their courage could overcome tyranny.

Hate is not your friend.  It will only destroy you.
Hate is not your friend.  It will only destroy you.
By Troy Kroening
Hating a hateful person is also hate. Many of us feel justified in our hate because we are only hating the hateful people. You know, them. But hate will get us nowhere. We all know this. Yet hate stirs up within us. It starts as anger and then gets twisted into hate. Anger towards a wrong, like hate, is justified. But allowing anger to become hate itself worse; we now have more hate.

"Are there any Winners in the Church because of Covid-19?"
"Are there any Winners in the Church because of Covid-19?"
By Ralph Hathaway
A very rhetorical question that should be on the minds of each one. You can walk or drive by most Catholic Churches and notice signs informing that this building is closed. The devastation of an unseen, and for the most part a confusing entity, has held all of us hostage. This event has affected the world’s population and no one appears to be safe.

How can we make it through this?
How can we make it through this?
By Troy Kroening
With this current pandemic and the chaos in our country, it seems too much for us to confront. Our lives can feel that way sometimes without a pandemic or nationwide chaos. We can feel like we are sinking in the sea. But we need to focus on what, or more specifically Who, has conquered the chaos in our lives. Just as Jesus can rebuke the winds, He can conquer the troubles in our lives too.
