Politics, Principalities and Powers
By Greg Schlueter

We recognize and accept that perfection is the realm of sainthood; politics, the realm of the greatest good possible. We are not on team conservative. We're not on team liberal. We're on team humanity.

Yes, God Communes With Infants
Yes, God Communes With Infants
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Theoretically, we all readily concede that the Mercy of God is available to everyone, from the richest to the poorest, from the most educated to the illiterate, from adults to small children. Since God is omnipresent, this means everyone on the entire planet is free to commune with Him at the same time because He can be fully present to each soul instantaneously.

A Catholic Priest has Extraordinary Powers--He Has Been Given the Power of Christ Himself
A Catholic Priest has Extraordinary Powers--He Has Been Given the Power of Christ Himself
By Larry Peterson
Recently I wrote about how being a Catholic caregiver gives that person an "edge". I had no idea that only a day later I would be standing next to an unconscious body that was being kept alive through the use of mechanical means and medications. Somewhere inside that body was my wife, Marty. She was on "life-support"and my work as a caregiver was either on hold or would soon be ended.

I even read a very sad story of a mother who's baby died. Let's just say Down Syndrome was not something we thought we would ever deal with as parents...

After all, what do women do better than men?
After all, what do women do better than men?
By Flávia Ghelardi
A friend asked this question on Facebook and it generated a great controversy. There were all kinds of answers, from “everything” to “nothing”. And it showed me a sad reality: most people face this question about the being of the man and the being of the woman as a competition, to show which sex is better than the other.

A Personal Witness that Miracles really do happen; Thank God!
By Helen Mac
Growing up as a Catholic, I was already aware that some people were blessed with the gift of healing. When I was about seven years old one of my sisters, who was 22 years older, took us to a chapel miles out of our neighborhood one night to see a priest who I remember miraculously cured my Mum of severe migraine headaches and my small niece of asthma, and they were never bothered with these illnes

The Priest asked, "He must be heavy?" The Boy answered, "No Father, he ain't heavy, he's my Brother."

It was somewhere near Omaha, Nebraska and the year was 1918. A young, Catholic priest was walking down the dirt road near the boy's orphanage he had recently opened. The priest came upon two boys, one carrying the other on his back. The priest stopped and said to the boy doing the carrying, "Well now lad, he must be heavy."

Our Lady Healer of Families (Part 1)
By Susan Skinner
Over the past past year or so people have come to me over and over again asking me to pray for their families. Parents estranged from children. Children angry with parents. Spouses at war. Siblings who don’t speak. Family members chained by addictions of all kinds. Family members who are sick and caregivers who are exhausted.

Catholic Warning: Beanie Babies are the work of the devil.
By Christy Breedlove
As most parents know, carrying a two year old and a four year old to Mass is a…shall we say…an adventure. My daughter, Regan, was two years old when she discovered Beanie Babies and dolls. To my everlasting dismay, she latched onto the goat Beanie Baby and a dollar store Barbie knockoff.
