Suffering Through Cancer and Divorce
Suffering Through Cancer and Divorce
By Malleson Emmerling
Fr. Francis Fernandez makes this bold claim in a daily meditation I found in his book In Conversation with God. This statement almost made me laugh out loud the first time I read it and I had breast cancer and was going through a divorce. How could God possibly be favoring me by allowing me to suffer from the loss of my marriage and be sick with cancer at the same time?

Why I only celebrated Chinese New Year at Church
Why I only celebrated Chinese New Year at Church
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Chinese New Year has just passed and many went back to their hometowns to be with family and celebrate. While I don't object to people seeing their relatives and friends during this festive period, I do object to the increasing materialistic behaviour and attitudes of modern society, particularly, and scarily, the young children.

What the World Has Forgotten
What the World Has Forgotten
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
We spend plenty of money on textbooks, activities, courses and other things that we believe would make us "successful", all for temporary gratification. We go out of our way to spend on mere keys that might open doors, yet when it comes to serving God, the slightest thing makes people moan.

The Skinny on Modest Wedding Gowns: 5 Ways to Achieve Modesty for the Matrimonial Mass
The Skinny on Modest Wedding Gowns: 5 Ways to Achieve Modesty for the Matrimonial Mass
By Melanie R. Cameron
In 2006, it was hard for me to find any gown with sleeves. Everything was strapless. When Kate Middleton married in 2011, her wedding gown sleeves showed the world that modesty is regal, elegant, and breathtakingly beautiful. Yeah, that lasted about two years before bodice type gowns with sleeves became the theme.

Morning Breakfast Time
Morning Breakfast Time
By Elizabeth Thomas
Every morning we come to the table, ---to feast off the Word of God. Or at least we should. We know how essential it is to eat food to have the ability to function the rest of the day. More important is the consumption of that Spiritual Food or the Word of God to sustain us through all that will come into our lives each day.

Questions Answered: Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven
Questions Answered: Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven
By Kevin Noles
Protestants typically have a difficult time with the titles of Mother of God and Queen of Heaven in reference to Mary. Each one I have spoken to seems to want to qualify the terms, to a certain degree this has merit, but they come off sounding accusatory towards Catholics.

Bad Reading, Mets Baseball and Mass Appeal...
By Carlos Espinosa
Somewhere during the priest's mind-numbing rendition of an unemployed third-rate actor reading the obituaries from a local newspaper, I started to wonder, "What is he doing? When is he going to stop reading and get on with his homily?"

On Being a Pilgrim: Part Two, Traveling with Kids
On Being a Pilgrim: Part Two, Traveling with Kids
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
God has blessed us with five little ones with whom we make our travels. Ultimately, much of my desire to go on pilgrimage is to instill this practice in them. Sometimes our journey is specific to a holy place and sometimes it happens along another journey. Recognizing that God is with you wherever you roam is the most important lesson.

On Being a Pilgrim: Part One, First Steps
On Being a Pilgrim: Part One, First Steps
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
A pilgrim can mean different things to different people. You can hop on one of the big, package pilgrimage tours that most dioceses offer and although I’ve never been on one, I’m certain you will be better for having gone. Perhaps, like us, your current situation won’t allow you to partake in such endeavors.

We didn't go
We didn't go
By The Prayerful Pilgrim
During the March for Life in Washington, D.C., my family, like all the years we've been a family, was absent. I can honestly say I've never felt called to go, and for us at this moment, it's the right decision. If and when the time comes, we will certainly join with the thousands of other pilgrims and raise our voices in this yearly tribute.

Our Catholic Life
Our Catholic Life
By Mike Bugal
As I write this it is Sunday, January 15th and we have just returned from first Mass (5 AM). The Church was brightly decorated as this is a special day here in the Philippines as a whole. Today celebrates the arrival of the Catholic faith in the country. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan arrived and met with local chieftains on the island of Cebu.

God's Shepherd's Are Always There For Us
God's Shepherd's Are Always There For Us
By Michelle Nicholl
Today I had the opportunity to meet with a fellow friend and parishioner that I don’t often have the opportunity to sit down and talk with, and during our visit, we got on the subject of “Priests”. We started to recall how priests over the years had influenced and affected our lives in so many different ways.
