Alzheimer's Disease—The Ultimate Enemy of the Lifelong Love Story
By Larry Peterson
If you and your spouse have lived within a marriage that has been filled with an unconditional, unselfish, love for each other, then you have been truly blessed.

At the Table with Our Father
By Joseph A. Daczko
He looks up at me with his blue eyes and his chubby little cheeks. I can’t help but smile and almost laugh out loud as I swipe the small rubber-tipped spoon across his lips cleaning off the sweet potatoes that squeeze out of his little baby lips.

Sharing a Coke with Brett and Helping the Holy Souls
By Terri Thomas
We have experienced this many times since Brett passed away on October 15, 2015. I ask him to pray for many things but never without praying for him first. This is what Pope Francis refers to as a "communion of intercessory prayer - an exchange of spiritual goods" (see below Amoris Laetitia, 257).

The 2018 Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference: Five Great Reasons to Go!

Is repentance a part of your faith?
By Zaid Kanafani
Repentance. I don’t think there’s been one word that has created more confusion in my relationship with Jesus Christ. At least, that’s how it used to be. Repentance. A word that’s used in both the Old and New Testaments. The term was brought up by priests, prophets, even our Lord and Savior Himself made sure there was no misunderstanding about the significance of the term.
