Do You Have a Devotion to Our Lady of Cana
Do You Have a Devotion to Our Lady of Cana
By Larry Peterson
Looking toward the end of the first week of the new year, I noticed a feast day that made me take pause. It falls on January 6 and is called Our Lady of Cana. We all know about the Wedding Feast at Cana and how Jesus, at the request of His Mom, performed His first public miracle here. However, I had never heard it called the Feast of Our Lady of Cana.

Just A Mother: My Call, Vocation, and Witness
Just A Mother: My Call, Vocation, and Witness
By Melanie Jean Juneau
The very existence of a joyful mother of nine children seems to confound people. Embracing an outdated lifestyle on a traditional, small, family farm has been a struggle through confusion, guilt, and even public condemnation. I finally reached the point where I can now shout loudly, "This is my call, this is my vocation, this is my witness to the world!"

The Last Jedi and Our Pixelated Humanity
By Greg Schlueter
We can agree to disagree on "The Last Jedi", and the criteria for truly excellent movies, and art in general.

More Than Waste
More Than Waste
By Mary Kathryn Ahlberg
Alright friends, I have a mini rant/theological discussion I would like to go on about. As many of you know, I am incredibly passionate about Theology of the Body and everything in between, not only because my faith so beautifully teaches it, but from my own personal journey with it as well.

Through the Looking Glass - A Christmas Message
Through the Looking Glass - A Christmas Message
By David Torkington
I saw my grandfather forty years after he died. I loved him with all my heart, not because he gave me toys, bought me ice cream or took me to the funfair, but because he loved me so much. I was only eight years old when he died of a heart attack and I cried myself to sleep.

An Un-Christmassy Christmas
An Un-Christmassy Christmas
By Marilyn Hetrick
Last year was an un-Christmassy Christmas for me. With neither of our kids coming home, decorations were minimal, but they included framed pictures of Christmases past. I looked at those old photos wistfully. In my memory, Christmas was always as Hallmark-perfect as those carefully framed pictures. Or, was it?

Perseverance
Perseverance
By Linda Kracht
We have discussed many virtues this past year. Virtuous living draws us out of ourselves and that’s why it is important to keep talking about the ways to arm ourselves (and our children) with virtue. Each virtue is inextricably linked to supporting virtue(s); what an added boost! Virtues that have their fullest effect are practiced/put to work with love.

Unconditional Love
Unconditional Love
By Madeline Mauro
Living life with Unconditional Love can change your whole perspective of humanity. Just think of it. You are loved, and there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. You can be a defiant person, and you will not stop this Love from loving you. You cannot change Unconditional Love’s mind. You are stuck with the fact that it is the truth!

What's Going On With Our Men?
What's Going On With Our Men?
By Linda Kracht

What the h*ll is going on?
What the h*ll is going on?
By Jeff Gardner
One evening, a few months ago, I drove across town to pick up my sons after an event. On our way back home we were nearly forced off the Interstate by an erratic, aggressive driver. Flashing my lights and honking my horn to avoid a collision caused the driver of the other vehicle to smash on his brakes and weave in and out of traffic, all in an effort to force me off the road.

What is necessary to be open to life?
What is necessary to be open to life?
By Flávia Ghelardi
To be open to life means let God, in his lovingly providence, determine the number of children each family is called to educate. The ones who defend this idea nowadays are called, at least, crazy or irresponsible, because we live in a culture totally against life.
