Evangelization Preparation
Evangelization Preparation
By Christopher Smith OP
Hopefully every Catholic who attends Mass at least semi-regularly has heard the phrase, "New Evangelization." The seeds for The New Evangelization were originally planted during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and all of the post-council popes have continued to water and nuture those seeds in the hopes of calling those who are away from Christ and his Church back into a deeper relationship

Has Secularism Conquered the St. Patrick's Day Parade? Cardinal Dolan Should Clarify Church Teaching
Has Secularism Conquered the St. Patrick's Day Parade? Cardinal Dolan Should Clarify Church Teaching
By Larry Peterson
We are up to our waists in the muck of secular quicksand and, slowly but surely, it is trying its best to suck us all deeper into its godless abyss. This insidious secularism has permeated so much of our lives, it has become the norm for many, especially the Millennials

Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Exaltation of the Holy Cross
By Renee Oania
This weekend was a great Mass of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. What caught my attention in my parish was the cross in the Church, of Jesus Christ hanging and below his feet was a red cloth draped down to the floor. Also, the priest wore a red vestment, and the deacon and altar servers had red on them, too.

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

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.

Are You A Facebook Friend?
Are You A Facebook Friend?
By Carol Ann Chybowski
I admit that I was late joining the Facebook craze. I really didn’t see the point of hanging out online posting what I ate for breakfast, or the latest news from family, work and parish. The people I knew who did that seemed to be addicted, checking their pages all day long, commenting on everything, seemingly outdoing each other in number of posts per day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you a Good Samaritan?
Are you a Good Samaritan?
By Christopher Brown
“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” That was the question posed to Jesus by the lawyer in Luke 10:25. Wow what a question. Isn’t that a question we have all asked at one time or another? So what is the long awaited answer? In true Jesus' fashion, He answers with a question: What does scriptures say?
