The Magnificent Dogma of the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary- ---
By Larry Peterson
The Third Ecumenical Council held by the Catholic Church took place in Ephesus in 431. The Council was called to refute the teaching being put forth by the Patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius. He held that the Virgin Mary may only be called the Christotokos (Birth Giver of Christ) and not Theotokos (Mother of God).

God Inspires a Hilarious Solution to Morning Mayhem
God Inspires a Hilarious Solution to Morning Mayhem
By Melanie Jean Juneau
With limited funds, surrounded by lots of little people on a hobby farm, I had to discover innovative ways of coping. When I relaxed, often an unusual, creative or even funny solution to a problem popped into my head. I just needed to keep everything in perspective and listen to my own inner voice as well as the whispers of the Spirit.

Raising a Child of God in a Secular World
Raising a Child of God in a Secular World
By Caroline Godin
My daughter loves to read, I mean seriously loves reading. She’s a kid with her nose constantly in a book, usually belonging to a series, and a few years beyond her age. She’s nine. Sometimes I think she’s nine going on 19, but she’s still a little kid. She’ll read just about anything from fantasy to horror, joke books to comics, even billboards and pamphlets. I’m not kidding; she’ll grab flyers

Catholics: Minimalists Before it was Cool
Catholics: Minimalists Before it was Cool
By Sterling Jaquith
Minimalism is all the rage right now. As millennials are tossing their things in pursuit of experiences instead, we are seeing more and more articles on the internet about embracing a minimalist lifestyle. It’s no secret Americans own too much stuff. We’re drowning in possessions and it’s causing us actual anxiety to look at them and care for.

The Marriage Bundle
The Marriage Bundle
By Rose Cuervo
In theology, per Mother Mary's bundle from Medjugorje, she cites the five stones that makes for a Christian renewal (as it had led to mine): daily rosary, daily Mass, daily Scripture, monthly confession and biweekly fast. Somehow, the bundling serves for one good action to boost the doing of another good action and so on, all of which have evidence-based benefits.

Day 141 – The Question about the Resurrection
Day 141 – The Question about the Resurrection
By David Vermont
Today we read the famous passages were the Sadducees question Jesus about the resurrection. They try to trap Jesus by confronting him with a quirk of Jewish law that says a man must marry his brother’s widow if the brother dies prematurely. They infer would be an awkward situation if a woman who had seven related husbands during her lifetime is resurrected.

Judging Those In Need

No reflection today. This morning on my way to work I made the usual coffee stop at my local Holiday store because my three year old daughter reminded me that “there’s the coffee store daddy”.

Faith, Hurricanes and Friendship...
By Carlos Espinosa
Yet, friends are hard to come by (And, I'm not talking about acquaintances or superficial relationships most of us have!). And, good friends even harder, especially for men, who tend to be less open about letting others in. More so in a culture that prioritizes independence and self-reliance and considers dependence a deficiency.

My Mother, Our Advocate for the Now
My Mother, Our Advocate for the Now
By Olivia Swyden
As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I started talking to Jesus, telling Him about my bodily woes of that moment, asking Him to take it away if that was His will. I felt like He was telling me “You hurt now, yes, but there will be a day where You are with Me and no longer feel pain. Worry not about your body and continue to focus on your soul.”

Revelation of the Busy Bee
Revelation of the Busy Bee
By Olivia Swyden
I've been scared to death of bees ever since I was a little girl. I used to run around bare feet, step on them, and get stung. Awhile ago, a friend received a spiritual image of a bee that she believed was for me, but neither of us knew what it meant.

Know How to Forgive
By Ralph Hathaway
Have you ever experienced an incident where you never received an apology from someone that you thought was owed you? Or, if you think hard enough, was there a reason forgiveness never uttered from your lips to another that should have been heard from you?

Patience, Where Are You?
Patience, Where Are You?
By Birgit Jones
O Patience, where are you? I am trying desperately to find you as this dear little one settles down for a nap, but his incessant whimpering for ‘mama’ is difficult to ignore. All tried and true tactics are for naught. Enduring silence, insistent shushing, and ceaseless waiting have failed.
