His Real Presence. Our Real Power. My Proclamation. (A True Story)
By Greg Schlueter
My wife and I just completed Whole 30. She first declared the commitment. No way I was going to sit on the sidelines. (Yes, God can use pride!) From the very beginning it was an unlikely gift. My pangs. So many times at the end of the day I wanted to split a beer (as my wife and I do) or glass of wine. Or through the day go for cheese. I'm from Wisconsin. I love cheese.

Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
Where Have All Our Catholic Men Gone?
By Evelyn Augusto
I have thought a lot about the so called "Catholic 'Man-Crises" that our Church is presently faced with. I ponder the dilemma because I am, by nature, a problem solver. As I am out in the world, I am usually on a fact-finding mission related to one thing or another in an attempt to resolve something. For now, I am watching the goings-on at the Church.

What Was Finished
What Was Finished
By Richard Maffeo
Perhaps no other statement of Jesus on Golgotha’s hill mean so much to me as “It is finished.” I spent weeks contemplating why that is true, and decided the answer is best illustrated by my life with my two fathers.

My Child, The World's Next Jesus
By Olivia Swyden
Let's be real here, we all have expectations for our children to live up to before we've even seen their tiny, little (or 100th percentile, if you're in my family) noggins. For instance, I just KNEW that my first child would be the freaking smartest baby einstein this world has ever seen.

How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Working with children (and raising a batch with my husband), I've picked up a few critical pieces of information about how children learn. For example, children require simple explanations in terms they can understand instinctively. Children also have little patience for information or activities that seem irrelevant to their concerns; they learn new concepts best when they can relate to the topic

Becoming Simon of Cyrene: Comfort to the Cross (Challenge to Hot Tub Catholics)
Becoming Simon of Cyrene: Comfort to the Cross (Challenge to Hot Tub Catholics)
By Greg Schlueter
Let’s have the courage to consider: Are we not living in troubling times? Do we not experience it in our marriages and families? Among our closest friends and co-workers? We pray, but have we considered His means of response: church. Are our pews filling? Are those in our pews evidently alive in the Holy Spirit?

Obedience unto death
Obedience unto death
By De Maria
Many of you know that Jesus obeyed God, the Father. But most of you, perhaps, have not thought about the fact, that Jesus also obeyed man. I’ll tell you a bit more about that later.

Do Catholics "Worship" Saints?
Do Catholics "Worship" Saints?
By Kevin Noles
Many people answer this question with a no. While they are not completely wrong the answer can also be yes. It depends on which sense of the word the person is using. Amongst Catholics it would be ok to say we worship the saint however around Protestants the correct answer is no. Venerate is the more appropriate term though worship, in the older and Biblical sense, is acceptable as well.

Images of God's mercy
Images of God's mercy
By Fr. Jude M. Serfino
As I was reflecting on God's mercy one Saturday evening just after I prepared my Sunday homily, I recalled what had happend during that day. I saw images of real people young and old alike whose lives were transformed by God’s tender and loving mercy. First thing I did that morning was to hear confessions of our first-communicants.

Saint Joseph: the Quiet Man Jesus called Father
Saint Joseph: the Quiet Man Jesus called Father
By Troy Kroening
I say call him the Quiet Man because no word is credited to him in all of Scripture. Still, there is much, very much, that we can learn from him. Yes, he might have only been referenced a few times, but how those few references seem to speak louder than thunder when taking a moment to look at them.
