Articles in 'Marriage and Family'
Chickenpox, Canned Peaches, and Mother Mary
By Sue Hallett
When I was five, my mother, my sister, and I moved in with my grandparents. My mother’s marriage had collapsed, due to my father’s schizophrenia, and she went back to college to earn a teaching certificate. She spent each week in an undergraduate dorm at the college, and came home on the weekends, while my grandparents looked after my sister and me. During that time my Grandma had serio

God of Peace, I am Your Child
By Kathy Lamb
My son Paul has said to me, “Mom being with you is like being with a small child!” And when I visited my Son Jason in Seattle a few months ago he told me, “You’re just like a child. You say whatever comes into your head. You jump around from one thing to another.”

My Pal Jumbo Never Went To Mass Until----Then He Never Missed Mass Again*
By Larry Peterson
Jumbo Feeney and I grew up together in the Bronx and we have been best friends since "Hector was a pup". We can go a year without talking to each other and when we get on the phone together it is just like we spoke ten minutes ago. I love the guy. But sometimes he drives me nuts.

It is spring and Love is in the air, and the weddings are planned and springing up everywhere. I had the strangest dream on waking this morning---but---strange ones are really very meaningful ones when you talk them out with God.

Why is Pontius Pilate in the Creed? Pilate and Herod: Images of the Fall
By Scott Pauline
Not merely Pilate and some of the Jews at Jesus’ time killed Jesus. We all did, our sins. Our sins scourged Him and our sins nailed Him to the cross. But from whence arise our sins? Lies, when we believe lies. And what are the supreme lies of the dragon? They are in fact the lies of the fall.

Guide to Going to a Secular College From a College Student, Part 1
By Anthony Stine
There are a lot of college guides online for the Catholic parent and prospective student. Yes, this is another one, though I'll be providing very different advice for picking a school for your child. One difference is that I'm an actual university student and have been one for several years.

Loaves and Fishes Revisited: Honest Protestantism does not Give Spiritual Peace
By Scott Pauline
Four times in the Gospels, Christ fed the people with five loaves and two fish. In another passage, he says unto his disciples, what father would give his child a stone if he asked for bread, or a serpent if asked for a fish? A scorpion for an egg? How much more will the good Father in heaven give you the Spirit if you ask.

They'll Know We Are Christians
By Michelle Nicholl
Gosh! I love singing that song, ‘They’ll Know We Are Christians’. When I recall teaching CCD to a group of fourth graders that included my older son, Warren, at the time, I remember how we started each class singing that very song. There's so much meaning in those words.

Blessed Anthony Neyrot and the Perils of Marriage
By Christy Breedlove
Bl. Anthony Neyrot was a Dominican religious in the 15th century. He started off his adult life rather uneventful. He got wanderlust and moved around looking for the next adventure. Later he was captured by a Muslim ruler and even, for a time, disavowed Catholicism and married a Turkish lady. He started to translate the Koran (into what I’m not sure) but when he found out a Dominican friend died,

Are Easter and Christmas "Satanic"?
By Mike Bugal
As I outlined in the previous article my Granddaughter Lara had an encounter with a respondent (who again will go unnamed) who told her that Easter is satanic. This is not a novel idea with this person but is held by extremists within Evangelical Christianity, as well as many pseudo-Christian and non-Christian cults.

The Right and the Left
By Samuel Matthews
The Church is not a political entity. She is a spiritual entity. In this day and age, we are all too caught up in our convenient ideological labels. This person is a conservative. That person is a liberal. He is only saying that because he is a member of that party. She would think differently if she were on the other side of the aisle. But God defies our categories.

Out of the Mouths of Babes: Gestures that speak louder than words
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Noticing the pained expression on her grandmother’s face and seeing that her grandmother’s eyes were closing, the grandchild took matters into her own hands—literally. Without a word, she held her grandmother’s head, giving her two “smacking” kisses—one on each cheek!

Easy to forgive?
By Kathy Lamb
This happened on the coldest days last of the year. When I came home from morning Mass our neighbor Benny met me at the car. He’s a young man around 20 years old but he’s already been in and out of jail a few times for things as minor drinking or driving with a suspended license. His mother doesn’t always bail him out so he’s spent weeks at a time in jail.
