On Her Feast Day, October 29: Meet Blessed Maria Restituta; Holocaust Victim
By Larry Peterson
May 1, 1894, was a happy day for Anton and Marie Kafka. Marie had just given birth to her sixth child, a girl, and mom and her daughter were both doing fine. The proud parents named their new baby, Helena. Devout Catholics, Anton and Marie had Helena baptized into the faith thirteen days after her birth in their parish church,

Credo
By Victor S E Moubarak
Every large organisation or institution has a Mission Statement. A statement outlining what the Organisation is set up to do, what are its values, ethics, and purpose. Many years ago, in the year 325, the first Ecumenical Council of Churches met and wrote a "mission statement" which is better known as the Nicene Creed.

Thankful in All Things
By Susan Skinner
Life can be unkind. I have had my share of sufferings, as I am sure most people have. If we are not careful, we can let a bitterness seep in.

RE: The Synod: The Catholic Church is the "Bride" of Christ and the Holy Spirit has Her Back; NO Problem
By Larry Peterson
It is quite apparent to me that the 2014 Vatican Synod on the Family has been hijacked by the mainstream media and press. (Maybe we should call it the Secular Media Synod). Reports of Synod actions are flying out from the keyboards about all sorts of things, and none of these keyboards are privy to what any of the final Synod results will say.

Christ is Greater than Columbus
By Father Adaly Rosado, Jr.
We recently celebrated Columbus Day. While people argue about whether or not this day should be celebrated as a holiday, it is safe to say that most people enjoyed the day off from work. For most it was a day to be with their families. For most children it meant “no school on Monday!”

A Different Love Story: Remembering "The Prison Angel", Mother Antonia Brenner
By Larry Peterson
This is a love story. No, it is not about romantic love. Rather, it is about the love of Christ exploding in the soul of a woman who took her God given gift and did her best to shower it upon some of the meanest and worst criminals in Mexico.

A Modern Good Samaritan
By Carol Ann Chybowski
The outbreaks of Enterovirus D68 and Ebola have all of us worried. They are deadly, and we don’t seem to have a handle on how to cure them or stop their spread. It brings back so many memories of the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

A Mission of Peace to Russia – You Should Know What Occurred in Red Square on October 17, 1992
By Debbie Womack
The Feast Day of St. Margaret Mary, 1992, found me FAR from the parish community of St. Margaret Mary in Louisville, KY. Instead of preparing for the dedication of our new church building, I was preparing for a march through Red Square, dedicating a broken country to Jesus Christ, King of All Nations and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Refuting Atheists
By Ray Sullivan
We now live in a world that is definitely NOT "live and let live" when it comes to religious beliefs in America. Thanks to the media megaphone, atheists are coming out of the closet to not only proclaim their blindness, but to also ensure that stupid Christians are put in their place and/or enlightened to their false belief that "there is no God."

Transformative Christianity
By Shaun Johnson
As I look back on 11 years now as a person in professional ministry and education and a lifetime of being a Christian, I’ve come to the realization that being a Christian is hard work. Why? Well, for one thing, the command to “Love one another”

How Busy Parents can become Saints
By Traditional Catholic Guy
Every parent knows the daily struggles and trials, devotion and love, broken bones and injured feelings it takes to fulfill their duty every day. I look back upon my own childhood, and I cannot admire my parents more for what they did for me and continue to do for my brothers and sisters..

Having TOTAL Trust in God
By Ray Sullivan
There are many lessons to be learned from reading Holy Scripture, but in my opinion, one of the most important lessons to be learned is that we humans should learn to totally trust in God to do what's best for us, at all times, no matter how bleak the situation is.

Child Euthanasia—Another Secular Abomination Degrading God's Natural Law?
By Larry Peterson
I think that the plague of secularism that has engulfed the entire world possibly reached its optimal success last February. The highly civilized country of Belgium passed a law allowing children to choose to euthanize themselves.

October 7, The Feast Day of Our Lady of Victory/Our Lady of the Rosary
By Catholic365
Islamic armies ranged along the coasts of Africa, the Middle and Near East, toppling established powers, yearning “to bring all Europe within the dar al-Islam, the ‘House of Submission’ — submissive to the sharia law. Europe, as the land of the infidels, was the dar al-Harb, the ‘House of War’.

EVIL vs GOOD: It May be Time for Everyone to Choose Sides
By Larry Peterson
It seems that now, in the early 21st century, people of faith have been thrust into the Canyon of Decision. This is a place where a personal decision must be made and only two choices are available. Those choices are Good vs Evil. God is the perfection of all that is GOOD. Satan is the owner of all that is EVIL.
