I was "Isadored" by Two Catholics and a Hebrew; It was Great*
I was "Isadored" by Two Catholics and a Hebrew; It was Great*
By Larry Peterson
I never knew a Catholic/Christian named Isidore. I had always thought that the name, Isidore, was primarily a Hebrew/Jewish name. In fact, several years ago, when my cousin, Vicki, discovered who our mysterious, missing grandfather was, his name turned out to be Isidore. It proved my point; Isidore Schul was a Hebrew man from Krakow.

I was a Fatima Kid
By E.M. McCarthy
Today we take for granted that we have a relatively peaceful world. But not too long ago, during the Cold War, people lived with the fear a nuclear war would end creation. Not much could be done; or so we thought.

Michelangelo's masterpiece may have deeper implications on creation than you think
By Joby Provido
The Creation of Adam is probably the most recognized work of art in the Sistine Chapel, and probably in the entire art world. Basically, it is a fresco of Adam in a very relaxed position as if there is no life in him yet. Visually next to Adam is God with an outstretched finger just about to zap energy into him.

A Revert's Perspective
A Revert's Perspective
By Lisa Ponchak
It is no secret that my husband has struggled with deep regret over us leaving the Catholic Church and being away for 10 years. He has since worked through it and has forgiven himself, especially now that the Lord has restored him, and he is doing what he is passionate and gifted in.

Longing for "Eternal Easter"
Longing for "Eternal Easter"
By Prof. Anthony Maranise, Obl.S.B.
Merely days ago, I graduated, at long last, with my Masters in Theology. Treasuring as I do all that I learned, the professors that taught me, and my classmates, all of whom became friends, the graduation itself, while welcomed, was also bittersweet in that it was an ending of a process and way-of-living I had grown accustomed to.

Jesus Ascended on the FIFTH day! Just by Accident?

Metaphors of the Church
Metaphors of the Church
By Joby Provido
The Church is depicted as barque, a sheepfold, a cultivated vineyard, the building of God, and the bride of Christ. Oftentimes metaphors like these make it easier to understand a concept. Christ did it frequently with ideas he needed to explain in a way his listeners could understand.

A Church for All Seasons
A Church for All Seasons
By Tanya Janoski
There are things about myself that I try to keep hidden, but my efforts are futile against those who know me all too well. We all have our weaknesses or ingrained prejudices that we are not very proud of. What is most astonishing is how we think we can somehow hide our weaknesses or prejudices from our heavenly Father.

The Road to Emmaus: Image of the Jewish Failure to Recognize Christ as Messiah?

A man recently suicidal came to the adoration chapel and started ranting. The Lord, I felt, understood his pain. When his rant ended and he said, "You are right. Mary is real and we should honor her." He was/is, a Protestant but had been coming to our church thanks to the invitation of an outreach group many years back.
