It's all in the Trying
It's all in the Trying
By David Torkington
The Curé d'Ars said that, “All that we do, without offering it to God, is wasted,” and he is of course right, but it must be emphasized that the Morning Offering isn’t a magic formula. It does not automatically transform the forthcoming day, that’s why something further is required.

The Maryhill
The Maryhill
By Sue Hallett
South of Goldendale, Washington the road gently rises, to where travelers can see four Cascade volcanoes on the rare cloudless day: Hood, St. Helens, Adams and Rainier. We slow there briefly, full aware only Adams will be visible today.

Was Jesus a Drunkard?
By Michael Gagnon

Pitting the Church against Christ, a false dichotomy
By De Maria

Suffering: Where's the Justice?
Suffering: Where's the Justice?
By Veronica Dannemiller
Why does God let good things happen to “bad” people and let “good” people suffer? I don't have all the answers, but I do know this - “good” people suffer, but so do “bad” people. And “bad” people prosper, but so do “good” people. We just notice more when good things are happening to a “bad” person and it's a “good” person suffering.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
By De Maria
The other thing I enjoyed, was that on Ash Wednesday, we got ashes on our forehead. I couldn’t wait to have them put ashes on my forehead so that I could see them in the mirror!

Bl. Marie Rivier and Power Ball
Bl. Marie Rivier and Power Ball
By Christy Breedlove
Our search for obscure saints this week leads us to the Blessed Marie Rivier. Marie lived mostly in the 18th century. She suffered a horrible accident when she was two and was paralyzed.

How The Catholic Church Championed and Transformed Women's Rights And Dignity
By Nate Lauer
Growing up and living in the 20th and 21st Centuries, you may live under the impression that the Catholic Church and Christianity have inhibited women’s rights, dignity, and freedom for the past 2000 years. However, did you realize that history says otherwise?

Yes, It's Personal!
Yes, It's Personal!
By Mike Bugal
Coming back to the Church from Evangelical Christianity there are certain terms that are still near and dear to my heart. One of those terms is “Personal Relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ” and apparently it’s one of the most misunderstood among Catholics (specifically among Traditionalist/Latin Only folks).

A Moving Story. An Open Letter to Iowans. (Why Marco Rubio)
A Moving Story. An Open Letter to Iowans. (Why Marco Rubio)
By Greg Schlueter
My grandparents and parents hail from Dubuque in the wonderful state of Iowa. They have ingrained in us the hardworking, faith, family, and self-less values that have made us the "difference makers" we are-- values that find their roots in Iowa.

St. Mun's the Word
St. Mun's the Word
By Christy Breedlove
St. Mun. With a name like that, you’d expect there would be nothing about him. And you’d be right. St. Mun lived in Ireland in the 5th century and his uncle was St. Patrick. His feast day is February 5. That’s it. The whole shebang on Mun summed up in two sentences.

I agree with you, Bobbie
I agree with you, Bobbie
By De Maria
I agree with you, Bobbie. There’s no magic to the word, Catholic. If any Catholic thinks they can do whatever they want and still be saved, they have another thing coming.

Everyone needs a Mary
Everyone needs a Mary
By Kate Eschbach
I do wish everyone had a mother as loving and selfless as I do. When Brian and the bigs were in Rome, mom stayed with me to help with Mary Alice and Riley. She could have gone on the trip with my dad and brother, but she stayed. She helped me keep my sanity and made sure we took adventures. We ate lunch at girly places and found a Harry&David with clearance dark chocolate covered popcorn.

Filipino Reflections on Restoring the Sacred in Advent

For most Catholics, Christmas season has ended, but there are many who keep the traditional Christmastide season alive until the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary on February 2nd. Such observances of the liturgical calendar are shared by Catholics who observe the extraordinary calendar and prefer to pray the Extraordinary Form Mass, also known as the Tridentine Latin Mass.

Miracles From Heaven
Miracles From Heaven
By Mariel Roersma
When you take a look at faith through the eyes of a child, it’s so different than an adult’s. It’s innocent. They believe what they see in books, what they hear from others, and what they learn. They see Jesus as a man dressed in white with a long brown beard. They know heaven as a place in the sky where you go when you die. They believe that Jesus and God are one in the same.
