What is it about Christmas?
What is it about Christmas?
By De Maria
Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of the year. It begins in the fall, when the air begins to get crisp and clear. The nights get longer and the days shorter. Driving on the freeway, the long line of cars with red and white lights, remind me of Christmas lights surrounding everyone’s house.

A man who always did what was right
By Sherry Kenner
Matthew 1:19 describes St. Joseph as “Joseph was a man who always did what was right..” What a beautiful description of the man chosen by God to be the head of the household of His family, the guardian of God’s own Son.

Through the Looking Glass
By David Torkington

Rejoicing
Rejoicing
By Mariel Roersma

Husbands -- It's Our Role!
Husbands -- It's Our Role!
By Richard Maffeo
If you’re like me, we like being reminded that Jesus nourishes and cherishes us. The entire New Testament repeats that promise again and again. That truth lifts our head when depression seeps into our thoughts. It gives us confidence when hard times come to our families, our health, our finances, our communities, our nation.

Melting Your Heart
Melting Your Heart
By Eric Wojtkun
These are the moments when a parent's heart melts just a little. Between normal conflicts children have over toy ownership, using crayons on someone else's homework, songs being sung too many times, and a dozen other issues we occasionally have little moments where we catch a glimpse of parental heaven.

Christ-Mass!
Christ-Mass!
By De Maria
In this secular world, Christians decry the fact that non-Christians have taken Christ out of Christmas. But that was bound to happen after non-Catholic Christians took the Mass out of Christmas. Christ-mas is Christes Masse, or the Mass of Christ.

Musings of Life.....
Musings of Life.....
By Steve Reasbeck
Life. It has so many meanings. There is a board game called Life. A breakfast cereal. It is talked about in song, in poetry, and in fictional books. Of course, on the literal note, it means the very existence of each of us. Our pets, our plants, and, of course our very selves. The life given to us by the very breath of God.

His Presence
His Presence
By Lorrie McNickle
As I sat in Exposition, about a half dozen people with children raucously entered the church and began roaming around taking seats up front by the altar, where are Dear Lord and Savior was exposed in the Monstrance.

The Movie Hocus Pocus Is A Source of Nightmares In The Name Of Family Fun!
By Ralph Zuranski
Parents be warned! "Hocus Pocus" is not a family picture filled with fun and laughter. It is downright terrifying and not suitable for children of any age. The graphic images of child brutality, murder, evil witches, a dead zombie and Satan aren't funny

Holiday Miracle

Thirty years ago, I was a brand new social worker, serving frail elders. Our agency selected clients to receive one of our small community’s Christmas baskets. I was all excited. I loved the idea of bringing a beautiful basket of food and gifts to a few of my precious clients.

What Would Mary Do?
What Would Mary Do?
By Olivia Swyden
I hear our 14 month old daughter crying out from our bedroom... our bedroom. That's right. She sleeps in our bedroom and we love it. This is the 5th night of "weaning" my daughter from her mid-night feedings in an attempt to get more sleep... more sleep for me... for my husband... for my daughter. Although, she has no trouble catching up on sleep throughout the day. Is this the right thing to do?

Seven things that might surprise you, about the Shroud of Turin
By De Maria
The Shroud of Turin is the cloth with which Jesus Christ was wrapped after the Crucifixion. Some people would say, the alleged cloth with which He was wrapped. But the matter has been proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt. Why?
