New Pro-Life Initiative
New Pro-Life Initiative
By Charlotte Ostermann
Do you know anyone who feels despair when they consider all the lives lost to abortion? We live in the shadow of those millions of deaths, and sometimes it is hard for even staunch pro-life people to handle the reality that even a pro-life victory cannot change. What we need is a gesture of hope

Strengthening My Relationship with God
Strengthening My Relationship with God
By Renee Oania
Back in July, 2014, I signed up for the Divine Mercy Daily – Daily Reflection from Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska by email, and this excerpt had special meaning for me that I would like to share it with you. "Day 9: Deeper Knowledge Of My Own Wretchedness.

The Family Rosary
The Family Rosary
By Rosemary Bogdan
These are not easy times to be raising children. The moral decline of our culture, the rise of relativism, hostility toward Christianity, in short, the world, the flesh, and the devil are all working against what we want for our children. What are parents to do? We must pray and pray hard.And who better to turn to on this, the celebration of her birthday, than the Blessed Mother.

Thirst for Reverence
Thirst for Reverence
By Karl Erickson
From the beginning of our marriage, finding a church that seemed right was a struggle. We visited church after church and spent significant time in prayer on the issue. This was not what we had planned. I had always expected to quickly settle down in the “perfect church” home, but we just could not find it.

Mysterious Tools
Mysterious Tools
By Karl Erickson
An experience from a few months ago gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of prayer. It was late at night, and my eight-year-old son was very sick in bed. He lay there moaning and crying because of terrible pain in his ears. While my wife was on the phone trying to reach a doctor, I tried to do what I could to comfort him.

Respectable or Faithful?
Respectable or Faithful?
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Just look at many of the biblical characters whom we raise up as examples of faithfulness today. In their own time, these paragons, who obeyed God in their personal lives, were considered quacks and for good reason.

Salem Matti Kourk: Hated and Murdered by ISIS; Loved by God and His Mom
Salem Matti Kourk: Hated and Murdered by ISIS; Loved by God and His Mom
By Larry Peterson
I guess there is nothing like the shocking beheading of a live, innocent, helpless person by gutless, yellow-bellied devil lovers dressed in black pajamas to garner world attention. The high-profile, barbaric murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff have done just that. Their murders have been emblazoned across the print headlines and media air waves giving Satan's favorite "crew",

Rosaries
Rosaries
By Renee Oania
Rosaries are holy items that helped me learn to pray and to better understand the Catholic Faith. I feel embarrassed because I never prayed the rosary before now. While I worked at the Carmel Mission Basilica, one afternoon, my supervisor and I walked around the grounds and then stopped at the Gift Shop.

Leave Me, Lord
Leave Me, Lord
By Joni Johnson
The Gospel reading for September 4 was from Luke 5:1-11. This is the account of Peter, James, and John, who have fished all night and caught nothing. Then Jesus enters the scene, and instructs them to try once more. The weary fishermen, knowing that fish are harder to catch during the day, protest a little. In the end, though, they acquiesce.

Friends and Their Gifts are Gifts from God
Friends and Their Gifts are Gifts from God
By Renee Oania
God often sends friends bearing gifts to help us along our journey. I would like to share a few examples of how friends and their gifts of a sand dollar, a teapot, a journal, an angel statue, and a story and rabbit figurine have helped me.

St. Paul Calls Out to us From Across the Ages
St. Paul Calls Out to us From Across the Ages
By Larry Peterson
The second reading at Sunday's Mass (the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: 8/31/2104) was from St. Paul to the Romans: 12:1-2. The words reverberated in my head and I think it was not only because of their simplicity and timeliness but primarily because of the message.

Purgatory
Purgatory
By Al Vargo
I was asked about the Catholic teaching of Purgatory recently by a friend who could not see its basis in the Bible. Here is my answer to them, which I decided to share: Purgatory is the modern way the Church expresses the ancient Biblical concept of “the place of the dead”, Sheol in the Old Testament Hebrew, and Hades in New Testament Greek.

Whose Map?
Whose Map?
By Joni Johnson
Have you ever noticed that God's path for our journey is not the one we would have chosen for ourselves? I'm not just talking about the "big" things, either (jobs, locations, church affiliations, etc.). I'm talking about the journey: the day-to-day places of our lives. Still confused? Let me illustrate.

Faith and Family Traditions
Faith and Family Traditions
By Sharla Ynostrosa
I just wanted to share something that touched my heart last night during Mass. I was a lector and a Eucharistic minister so I was up by the altar and able to see everyone all the way to the back of the cathedral. What caught my eye, was my son holding his 14 month old daughter, and my daughter holding her 28 month old daughter standing next to each other right below the statue of St. Anthony.

Who's a Saint?
Who's a Saint?
By Christopher Brown
My purpose in this article is to help Catholics defend "Praying to the Saints" to those whom challenge them. How do people know you're Catholic? (thought of the day) It is just simply amazing me as to the questions I receive when I meet ordinary people in ordinary circumstances.

Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
By Karl Erickson
We’re all familiar with the frantic push for homosexual marriage and/or civil unions. As people of faith striving to live peacefully within a society in growing crisis, we’re probably much more acquainted than we’d like to be with this ideology washing over us from all sides of our popular culture.
