Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement
Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement
By Richard Maffeo
At sunset this month on September 22, many Jews will observe the most holy day in Jewish faith. Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement – dates back to the days of Moses when God instituted the observance so that, through repentance and blood sacrifice, the sins of the people could be forgiven. You’ll find reference to Yom Kippur in Leviticus, chapters 16, 17, and 23.

The Early Christian Martyrs Compel Us to Pray and Love Unceasingly
By Janet Moore
In our day and age, we can no longer presume we will not be asked to suffer martyrdom. Christianity and adhering to the Truth Christ reveals is becoming an increasingly dangerous way of life to live in America and throughout the world. With this ever in Her mind, the Church is wise to hold up for us courageous witnesses who have gone before us in faith!

Fighting Adam- A 21st Century Look
Fighting Adam- A 21st Century Look
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
In the preface to his new book, The Road to Character, author David Brooks states that he wrote this book in order ‘to save his soul.’ Now that is a phrase that one seldom reads from the pen of a New York Times journalist or any other writers for that matter in this media saturated ocean we swim in. It got my attention.

An Urgent Prayer Request for All People
An Urgent Prayer Request for All People
By Jennifer Elia
I have hosted a Novena of Novenas before. I think it is time I do so again. The conditions for Christians in the Middle East are beyond horrendous! When the photos were released of the Holocaust, the world vowed, never again! Yet, photos are flooding out of the largest and most vicious genocide ever, and our world is waiting and watching in silence.

Be Willing to Forgive
Be Willing to Forgive
By Sherry Kenner
In 1981 our Blessed Mother began appearing to a small group of children in the remote village of Kibeho. Mary and Jesus warned the children of the holocaust that would happen unless Rwandans opened their hearts to God and began loving one another. These prophetic visions came true in 1994.

Pope St. Hyginus
By Debra Booton McCoy
Our eighth pope was Hyginus. As is typical of the Roman Church in the mid second century, Hyginus was more likely one of a number of presbyters as opposed to a stand-alone governor.

A Love Affair with Moloch
A Love Affair with Moloch
By Karl Erickson
We’d be wise not to forget the stern warning within Leviticus 18:21. "Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD." Children hold a special place in the heart of God. “Let the little children come to me,” said Jesus. The reader is reminded of God's love and intimate knowledge of the unborn child ...

The World; Yesterday and Today--The Bible Covers It All
The World; Yesterday and Today--The Bible Covers It All
By Larry Peterson
As a cradle Catholic who went to twelve years of Catholic school 'waaaaay' back in the 50's and 60's, I can say without hesitation, my education in the Bible and about the Bible and of the Bible was almost non-existent. The Catechism with its nays & yays and 'right & wrong' dominated the conversation. However, over the past ten years or so I have come to honor and respect the Bible.

Pope St Telesphorus
Pope St Telesphorus
By Debra Booton McCoy
St. Telesphorus was a man of Greek origin, born, according to legend, in Terranova de Sibari, in Calabria. This is the toe of the “boot” of Italy. His name, translated from the Greek, means “accomplishing the goal". He may have taken on the name when consecrating himself to God, at the time he was ordained, or maybe later. He is said to have served as bishop of Rome...

Thomas More and King Henry
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
We were assigned to read the two act play by the woman who ran the English department at the small Catholic college in Houston where I had been granted a scholarship, much to the amusement of friends and family because I had declared myself an atheist at eighteen.

What I Learned From the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth Part 5: We Don't Need as Much Stuff as We Think
By Carl Sommer
Some time around AD 245 there lived in the Roman city of Carthage a man named Cyprian, a wealthy, important man with a talent for rhetoric. His impressive personal gifts, along with the accident of his birth, ensured that he would prosper in pagan society, and he became enormously wealthy. He also fell into the innumerable vices to which pagan Roman society was susceptible.

Believe in Miracles
Believe in Miracles
By Susan Skinner
“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” - (Pope Blessed Pius IX) Everyone loves a good miracle, yet I find today so many of us do not believe. We have stopped expecting the Holy Spirit to act. I find myself some days also needing hope in moments of despair, and it is then that I remember, we have a God of miracles.

So You Are a Pacifist, Are You? Hmmm…
By David R. Myers
Folks, I have met a number of good people over the years, both inside the Church and out, that seem to believe that the only legitimate expression of Christianity when dealing with aggression of any kind is pacifism.

1 Timothy 3:14-15
1 Timothy 3:14-15
By Barbara Golder
….one sad fact about the sinful people who make up the Church is that we will rarely miss an opportunity to mess things up. There is no guarantee that the institutional face of the Church will do the best thing at the most opportune time, avoiding any possible misstep. But even in the face of certain suppression, the choice to leave the Church is still that: choice.
