Election Novena 2016
By De Maria
If you're anything like me, you're probably asking yourself, "how could this happen in America?" Yep, folks, I can't bear to choose between Hillary or Trump. I don't want either one of those to be Commander in Chief of our country.

On Saint Benedict's Ladder
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
Some of my education is business equivalent over long careers. This causes a need for me to stick up for myself. I suppose this may come across as: brave, selfish, defiant, impatient, illogical, haughty at best, over confident, bossy, bold, funny, flippant and in your face. These might be true at times, as everyone has their moments.

How the Impostor Syndrome hurts Catholic women, and what to do about it
By Ginny Kochis
In the range of Catholic family size, ours is relatively small. Three children can seem like a lot to the rest of the world, though, so when I take my circus into town, someone inevitably tells me I’ve got my hands full.

How to Train Your Dragon II: Heroic Masculinity and the Holy Family
By Rose Canavan
Many people would argue that there is a crisis of masculinity in film today. That there are no longer any strong father figures in movies and that masculinity is contorted to mean only violence and control. The fatherless society that we live in certainly has seeped its way into mainstream media, but I can think of a few shining examples that counteract this inauthentic trend.

Pope Francis and Eliminating Waste in Your Endowment or Retirement Account
By Bill Ulivieri
A little over 1 year ago Pope Francis addressed “every person living on this planet” with his encyclical “Laudato Si”; Praise be to you, my Lord. Many refer to it as an encyclical on the environment, but it is so much more than that! The Pope explained that extreme consumerism, materialism, and poverty are not really economic problems, but rather ethical and spiritual ones.

On To Forgiveness...
By Lori Gonzalez
This week concluded our journey through the virtue of kindness and moved to forgiveness. For children ages five to eight the thought of not forgiving was something they could not understand. Each child was given a balloon to blow air into. They held it tight to not let any air escape.

A HOT Item: On Modesty and Bikinis
By Greg Schlueter
The conversation took place among good Catholic brothers gathered for a cigar and scotch. Politics. 80’s rock. Joe Bonamassa (awesome blues man). Family stories. And on this particular night, the conversation turned to bikinis. Bikinis. No, it’s not what one might think of “men talking” and “bikinis.” But what one might think is enough to make the point.

How to do small things with great love, even when we are tired
By Ginny Kochis
Wrestling a toddler into his diaper is the worst time to consider one’s current status. And yet there I was, attempting to stave off my son’s third Huggie death roll, staring darkly out the window at the hydrangeas below. I was done. Done with the diapering. Done with the nagging. Done with the unmade beds, the cluttered countertops, the constant wave of stuff threatening to overtake my home.

Showing Gratitude for the Ultimate Gift
By Linda Kracht
All human persons share one ‘characteristic’ in common; regardless of ethnicity, country of origin, age, political party or spiritual or moral values and beliefs. What is that one thing? Take a guess. If you guessed that we are each a gift [freely bestowed upon our parents, siblings, and even fellow citizens] you have guessed correctly.

The Gifts of the Spirit for Mothers
By Ginny Kochis
I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at thirteen. My sponsor had been in a car accident a week or so prior, so my father stood in as a proxy. He placed his hand on my shoulder during the rite of confirmation, its heft a testament of an earthly and heavenly father’s love.

On ambulance rides, St. John of the Cross, and learning how to love
By Ginny Kochis
I was supposed to host Junior Book Club that Friday. I’d spent most of the week trying to shorten my miles-long to-do list. It never seemed to get any shorter, and by the end of the week I was fixated on it. So much so that Thursday afternoon found me crafting a last minute plan of action.

Finding God's will in the novena
By Ginny Kochis
The first time I prayed a novena I was 24 and on my way to work. My father was in the hospital, a semi-annual occurrence for a heart patient with a medical history longer than the Mississippi and twice as wide. One week prior, I had driven past the entrance to my parents’ neighborhood, only to come upon an ambulance on the side of the road.

Evaluation Day--Mother's Day!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
We are all great parents doing the best we can in the circumstances of life—but sometimes best is not enough and that is where our Faith comes in. Faith that tells us that no matter what happens in life to us—to them---all the pieces and details come together to bring about the fulfillment of our “individual plan” for why we are here in this world.

Decisions, Decisions
By Olivia Swyden
The parenting gig is overflowing with choices. Should one of us stay home with the tiny humans or should we send them to daycare? Should we use positive parenting techniques or should we smack their booties like the so-called "tried and true" method our parents' used? Should we feed them all organic or... is that a wood chip in her mouth?!

Mary's Passion and Modern Day Motherhood. What is the Connection?
By James Berkon
How does this instance of Our Lady encountering Jesus on the way to his crucifixion apply to modern day motherhood? You probably are tempted to say, “Her son was perfect. She never dealt with the issues I have to deal with! What would she know about the trials and tribulations of modern day motherhood?”
