Providence
By Robert Louis Rodriguez
I was changing my daughter’s diaper the other day, always a joyous occasion. As I finished and went to prepare her bottle I started thinking. She doesnt really know whats being done, what’s going on, or all the ‘behind the scenes’ things her mother and I do for her. The very basic sustenance she receives is beyond her knowledge or control.

Our Father!
Our Father!
By James Dsouza
March 13, 2013: Knowing Father of the Church. Hurray ! We have a Pope! With it, began my relationship with him which I never had before. Ever since he became known to the world, I oddly sense his every heartbeat and read his every thought, in his every tweet, in his every post, in his every act. With it, I began to know the Father of Catholic Church.

Someone I Love Was Never Born
By Robert Louis Rodriguez
I won’t get to post pictures, she won’t be showered with gifts. I’ll find solace in the memory that she once did exist. I heard her heartbeat and she now lives in mine, will never forget that sound that began to change my life.

Passing on Our Faith
Passing on Our Faith
By Catherine Garrett
Being a lifelong Catholic, I've gotten to experience a lot of things in my faith. I got to be one of the first girl altar servers at my parish. I've sung in the choir and folk group since I could open my mouth. I helped to teach younger kids in Sunday school when I was younger. I was able to take my faith with me to college.

The Delicate Balance of Idleness and Work
The Delicate Balance of Idleness and Work
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Idleness is the enemy of the soul. When I first read that opening sentence of Chapter 48 of the Rule of Benedict, I recognized my paraphrased internal maxim created long ago: Boredom is a cancer of the soul. As a Benedictine oblate, I read through the Rule three times per year. One would think that those fifteen- hundred- year-old words would become tedious.

But the Kids Need a Place to Sleep
By Larry Peterson
Three days a week, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m they come and they wait. Three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday they come just to get a drop of reprieve from the outreach center; a bus pass to the VA or to get to a job interview, a bag of groceries, a voucher to get used clothes at the thrift store, maybe a small amount of money to help pay an overdue utility bill,

Blessed be the Peacemakers
Blessed be the Peacemakers
By Tommy Raines
Most of us have heard that verse from Matthew 5:9. The term “peacemaker” has different meanings to each of us. Having been involved in law enforcement for most of my life, police officers come to my mind first. I know that I have always tried to be a peacemaker and protector for all of God’s children.

A Timely Reminder for the Laity: Catholic Teaching on Love, Sexuality, and Our Common Call to Chastity
A Timely Reminder for the Laity: Catholic Teaching on Love, Sexuality, and Our Common Call to Chastity
By Justin McClain
In case you have not been around since the mid-1960s, here is the news: our culture talks a lot about sex. One can easily assert that it is sexually saturated. If you have difficulty fathoming this, speak to parents who are trying to raise their children in a society that hardly reinforces modesty or other displays of morality that were once taken for granted.

The Sacrament of Touch
The Sacrament of Touch
By David Torkington
In 1986 the Sea of Galilee receded during a drought exposing an ancient fishing boat, 27 feet long by 7.5 feet wide. It was taken to a nearby kibbutz where it was carbon dated. As it was proved to be approximately two thousand years old and designed to carry between 12 and 15 fishermen, the locals called it the 'Jesus boat'.

You'll Never Get to Enjoy the View, Until You Make the Climb
You'll Never Get to Enjoy the View, Until You Make the Climb
By Teresa Hurst
We have the extreme good fortune to live in Michigan and, therefore, are surrounded by the Great Lakes. I have had an ongoing love affair with these incredible bodies of fresh water since my early days of the family cottage down the road from Lake Huron. There are countless, treasured memories of laughing, splashing, sitting, and skipping along the sandy shores of endless blue.

By Carlos Espinosa
Professional sports are replete with stories of athletes who went from being overlooked or ignored to achieving greatness in the due course of time. On a pedestrian level, the story of hard-nosed Philadelphia Phillies shortstop, Larry Bowa, who was cut by his high school coach, always comes to mind.

How the Impostor Syndrome hurts Catholic women, and what to do about it
By Ginny Kochis
In the range of Catholic family size, ours is relatively small. Three children can seem like a lot to the rest of the world, though, so when I take my circus into town, someone inevitably tells me I’ve got my hands full.
