Sunday Dinner Reveals Graces of Family Crosses
By Dean P. Johnson
A couple of Sundays ago, I was sitting at the head of our dining room table. It was one of those moments when you can almost step out of yourself completely, step away from what is going on around you, away from the moment, just to peek back in from an entirely different point of view.

What's with those little fortune cookies?
By Linda Kracht
And so, even when it seems as if divining the future is just a cheap fortune cookie, is a convenient past time (reading of one’s horoscope) or seemingly just a game, consider this warning. “Ouija boards and tarot cards and crystals and how-to-palm read booklets might not seem to cost very much, but the spiritual price we pay for using them is often much steeper than we realize.”

Hope and Healing After Abortion: God's Mercy Endures Forever
By Nancy Marie Murray
Pope Francis’s recent call for mercy and forgiveness for women who have had an abortion may have people wondering at this seeming change of Catholic Church policy. But as someone who has personally experienced the lasting grief and regret of abortion and also found healing and hope through the Church,

Autisim - Putting the Pieces Together
By Allison Brown
Sometimes we think its easier to fool ourselves. Sometimes to convince ourselves that something is not true, is not going to happen is easier than facing reality. Unfortunately though when its time to finally face reality, it can hit harder than it might have if we had just been honest to ourselves from the start.

Our Shepherd Among Us: Reminiscences and Reflections (Part One)
By Justin Soutar
Towards the end of last month, our Holy Father Pope Francis made his eagerly anticipated Pastoral Visit to the United States. Like those of his saintly predecessors—the cerebral trailblazer Paul VI, the energetic actor John Paul II and the scholarly gentleman Benedict XVI—Francis’ visit to America was an historic and memorable occasion that was shared and experienced by millions of Catholics

It 'is' a Big Deal
By Richard Maffeo
From the moment our 15 year-old son walked into the house after a weekend missions trip to Mexico, he rambled about his experience with an enthusiasm I thought he reserved only for computer programming.

My Purpose in Life
By Allison Brown
If you told me a week ago that I would be given the answers to my questions and daily struggles, I would have said "What ever". Truth of the matter is that over the weekend I have discovered and learnt what I needed so badly to hear, to be told.

The Beauty of Motherhood, A Review of "Momnipotent: The-Not-So-Perfect Woman's Guide to Catholic Motherhood," by Danielle Bean
By Rosemary Bogdan
Author and editor Danielle Bean, herself a mother of eight, offers in her book Momnipotent a heartfelt encouragement to all mothers. Momnipotence, she explains, is “the kind of strength and power that belongs uniquely to women. When we deny our call to motherhood and fail to recognize its intrinsic dignity and worth, we deny the very gifts that make us uniquely female.”

Let Your Light Shine And God'S Love Will Shine Through!
By Sharla Ynostrosa
Hello Out There! I want to share something that happened at the Sack Lunch Ministry at our parish on Wednesday. A young man showed up about 25 minutes before we started handing out lunches. We had never seen him before. He sat in the cafeteria with his head down while he was waiting.

Saint Elizabeth - What a woman!
By Sherry Kenner
Elizabeth is a special name in my family. My daughter and granddaughter share this saint name along with many other family members. Elizabeth, wife of Zacharia and mother of John the Baptist, is a great role model for women of all ages. She would be considered very counter-culture in today’s society, which teaches women can only influence and weld power if they practice sex, contraception

God's Mutual Love
By Dean P. Johnson
Let us consider a major theme of the Bible: God loves and cares for his people. Consider Bible stories about God’s interaction with people both directly and indirectly. His walks in the Garden of Eden. The dreams of Joseph and Jacob. The fiery finger of God, chiseling his commandments for Moses. God’s messenger sent to Mary. And so on.

To Shout for Joy!
By Teresa Hurst
You see I consider laughing to be a super fun thing to do. And while that’s not alarming on its own, the issue arises when one considers how much laughing I like to do in a given day. Take my word on it; it’s a lot. I really think I could have authored the song from the movie Mary Poppins that goes: “I love to laugh, loud and long and clear. I love to laugh. It’s getting worse every year.”

By Robert E.J. Campbell
In my last article, I wrote about my brother and one of my young sons who share the same name, Eddie Campbell; in this article, I would like to focus on the man that both of these Eddies were named after, my father, Edward "big Ed" Campbell.

Believing is seeing
By Dean P. Johnson
Seeing isn’t believing; believing is seeing. Genesis 1:27 begins, “So God created mankind in his own image…” The word “image” often prompts thoughts of sight, a reflection of what we can see, what something physically looks like. Image, though, is multi-sensory, and, as is with God, extra-sensory.
