Blessed are the Tempted
By Mike Allen
Fifteen years or so ago, when I as a Methodist pastor, I preached a sermon from James 1:12: “Blessed is the man who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proved he will receive the crown of life that he promised to those who love him.”

A “Breaking Bad’ Examination of Conscience
By Mike Allen
After hearing multiple friends describe themselves as “Breaking Baddicts,” I finally got around to watching “Breaking Bad,” the award-winning AMC series about a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher, Walter White, who begins cooking and selling crystal meth with a former student as a means of providing financially for his family after his death.

PRIDE--the main Ingredient in the Evil that Surrounds Us
By Larry Peterson
The abuse, torture and killing of men, women and children continues. Throughout the history of humankind this has been so. Why? We might say it is because of prejudice or pride or ego or just unabashed hatred. Maybe contempt and envy enter into it. Whatever it is, whatever causes human beings who are supposed to have the use of reason to turn against their own kind, eludes me. It also sicke

Let Peace Begin With Me
By Connie Beckman
Watching the news can leave you feeling like the world is falling apart at its seams. With all the violence, wars, and persecution of innocent people happening daily before our eyes, it is heart wrenching and discouraging. You want to shout— "stop the killing. Just stop!" Can't we just live peacefully with one another? What are we to do?

By Karl Erickson

Is Worrying a Sin?

Small Gifts, Great Love
By Elizabeth Tichvon
Where else in the New Testament does Jesus speak so intimately to each of us? None of us has the same opportunities to be merciful, to love - to forgive. Jesus gives each of us different talents that match the role He assigns us. Talents come in as many varieties as there are people, and all are equally important to His perfect plan. But we must use our talents to do His will by giving away gifts

The Sacrament of Baptism: Immersed in Grace
By Elizabeth Ficocelli
Baptism is considered the gateway for all other sacraments. It marks the beginning of our Christian ministry as it frees us from original sin and makes us members in Christ and his Church. Baptism is most often conferred on infants and children too young to understand this important ritual. Therefore, our best option for evangelization is the parents.

Unusual Love
By Elizabeth Tichvon
While driving home, I was stopped at a red light behind a brand new pickup truck that was flaunting a hateful, anti-Christian bumper sticker. I was stunned by the wicked display against our Lord, and as a Christian, was also personally insulted. It provoked me to want to get out of my car and give the guy the what for, but while waiting for the light to turn, realized what a poor Christian example

In Defense Of Catholicism - Part 1
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
My initial exposure to anti-Catholicism occurred 30 years ago which was shortly after I accepted Jesus as Lord of my life. At the suggestion of a friend, I visited her small non-denominational church in Nassau County – the congregants professed love but one of the members, when he heard I was Catholic, readily informed me that I was involved with the devil’s doctrine...

The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Urgency of Divine Love
By Sr. Anne Marie
In 1673, Jesus began appearing to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a humble nun of the Visitation Order, in Paray Le Monial, France. He revealed to her the tender wonders of His love for her, desiring through her to share these same wonders with the whole world. In the course of His revelations to St. Margaret Mary, Jesus complained of our ingratitude. But His complaint was weighted with ...

Women and the Priesthood
By Sr. Anne Marie
Further, Blessed Pope John Paul the Great said, in one of his many engaging teachings on man and woman, that the closer a person comes to God the more they become either mother or father. This is because God is Father. And both human motherhood and human fatherhood are reflections of God's Fatherhood which is divine. So women are meant to be mothers and men fathers. But ...

The Wine That Dazes
By Sr. Anne Marie
Recently, while speaking with a dear friend, I found myself sharing some of my personal experiences growing up during the 60's and 70's. I lived my grade school, high school and college, during the great movements and turmoil of that time: the civil rights movement with its urban riots, massive and active anti-war, anti-establishment activity especially on ...

Giving Up Secrets
By Sr. Anne Marie
People seem to have a lot of secrets these days. We could almost say we live in an age of secrets. Governments have become skilled at keeping secrets; businesses are adept at the same thing. Institutions, whether they be educational, medical or religious, all keep secrets for both good reasons and not so good reasons. But this reflects people in general. People tend to keep a lot of secrets.

Our Lady of Conquering Love
By Sr. Anne Marie
At Calvary, where Jesus conquered sin, the flesh, the devil, death and all of hell, Mary was given to us to be our Mother. In His last moments Jesus shared His love for Mary with us that we might love her too and entrust ourselves to her care just as He did. It is a love upon which He bestows boundless blessing. Mary is not a passive woman, nor a ...
