Articles in 'Marriage and Family'
(not so) Satisfied
By Janice Bostic
Last weekend's gospel came from Saint Luke, and it has been on my mind all week long. It's a familiar reading. Even as a Protestant, I heard it over and over. I dare say even the non-religious type knows the story of the loaves and fishes. Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish.

I want to peer deeper into the wall.
By Kathy Lamb
In my work with families at risk, I’ve been in homes with major electrical problems. One trailer had no running water and only one working electrical plug. I would have had to make a report to Child Protective Services after the baby was born but that was taken out of my hands

100 Articles and Counting: But this is about My Book
By Larry Peterson
To my surprise, I just saw that the my submission and publication count in the CATHOLIC365 archives has reached 100. Prior to my seeing the blog count I had asked our editor at CATHOLIC365 if I might do a slight bit of book promo and I was told--"YES". SO, as I celebrate 100 blog posts at CATHOLIC365, here is a bit about me as an author and my latest book.

Killing messes up our heart.
By Kathy Lamb
My son David is against all killing. I tend to agree with his reasons for not wanting to kill, not wanting to kill even insects. Killing anything messes with our heart. Here’s a mix of what I learned from him and my own take on it.

Pregnancy, Wonderful and Beautiful! Revelation of the Developing Old Testament?
By Scott Pauline
just as a beloved lady must carry a child in her womb for nine months, so, in any world that would happen to Fall and that was to then receive an Incarnation from God, I believe that there would need to be the same nine theological phases of history to prepare for Incarnate One.

Joy vs.Happiness
By Marie Murphy Duess
At a weekend retreat I attended with my husband, the director of the retreat, a young priest, used the theme of joy for his conferences. He began by comparing joy to happiness, and explained that happiness is something that we experience based on conditions—I’m happy because the weather is nice (if it wasn’t, I’d be as gloomy as the weather), I’m happy because it’s my birthday

Love Makes the Word Go Round
By Linda Kracht
After sitting down to write this article I googled: number of couples still married after forty years. Some interesting references popped up but the one that caught my eye was titled 40 Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage by Dennis Rainey. I shouldn’t have read it! Not because I didn’t agree with him but because I did. Rainey perfectly captured points I planned to write about.

Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?
By Larry Peterson
The words--annihilation, extermination, carnage, and slaughter, to name a few, are synonyms for the word "Holocaust". The word "genocide"not invented until 1941, fits right in there. But none of those words bring us to the core of what those words truly represent. They are the by-product of the malevolent, hideous, and hate filled evil that consumes and takes control of certain human beings.

Doing God's Will for the Wrong Reasons
By none
It may seem a somewhat irreverent place in which to pray, but I have more genuine prayers and conversations with God in my car when I’m driving to and from work. I drive through a vast expanse of farmland, forest, and countryside during this time which provides for peaceful, thoughtful moments. One morning as I was driving, I was also reflecting on my life.

Why I'm Glad We Waited
By Shannon Whitmore
Our culture largely assumes that it is impossible for a couple to wait until they are married before having sex. There is an understanding among most modern young adults that a serious relationship requires sexual intimacy, that a relationship that involves sexual intimacy is deeper than one that is lacking in this area.

The Gifts of the Spirit for Mothers
By Ginny Kochis
I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at thirteen. My sponsor had been in a car accident a week or so prior, so my father stood in as a proxy. He placed his hand on my shoulder during the rite of confirmation, its heft a testament of an earthly and heavenly father’s love.

Jesus: The Model Parent
By Mike Zimmerman
There are so many ways in which I wish I could be more Christ-like. Of course, we all strive for these qualities, as we should, but it never ceases to amaze me how many new and different ways Christ shows me the ways to be better than I am. I realized another facet recently. Patience.

The Choice of Love
By Lucas Sauls
Sometimes things just happen to hit you when you least expect it. Riding in my car on the way to work, which for me is a great time to just meditate on the day ahead and have a conversation with God, this theme kept popping up in my mind. For whatever reason, the thought that was coming up would not get out of my mind. Because of that, I am feeling moved to dive deeper into this..

Forgiveness and Prayer
By Lucas Sauls
Forgiveness is something that I have always struggled with. My past issues with my father were something that, until recently, I had not learned how to actually forgive. Time is supposed to be a healer when it comes to these matters, but I had held this grudge against him for so many years
