Temptations Are Gifts
Temptations Are Gifts
By Lori Conklin
I have been mad all day! I am short with my husband and my children. I can't even stand to be around me!! I can't get the dream out of my head and its self revelations. Images of the same pattern of behavior plague me. Am I really that dense, that I cannot read a situation and choose a different path.

The Birthday Parties That Never Were
By Larry Peterson
September 6, 1978, our daughter, Theresa Mary, was born and died. Once again I am posting about our fourth child and how she touched our lives. If she had lived this would have been her 37th birthday. She might have had children like her older sister, Mary Dymphna

Expect Temptations
Expect Temptations
By Lori Conklin
It is literally six days since the official beginning of our September Pilgrimage to see Pope Frances. I have not felt that spiritual high since the ride home from the meeting. In fact it has been a never-ending crisis, I no sooner resolve one issue, that another one arises, a whirlwind, with no time to think, to ponder, to breathe.

By Rex Teodosio
On September 8, the Catholic world once again celebrates the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Nativity. It is otherwise called Our Lady's birthday. Oddly, most Catholics don’t really celebrate it.

Forgive and Forget?
Forgive and Forget?
By E.M. Wilson
So today I was scrolling around the web (I feel like that's a more accurate description than surfing the web) and I read this article that posed an intriguing question: can you forgive and not have a relationship with that person?

Accountability
Accountability
By Stephanie Losoya
I recently realized about myself that I am (mostly) an extrovert. I love people and talking and group activities. In fact, right now I am alone in my apartment, and apart from writing this, I'm bored! I'm the type who needs (really just wants) nearly constant stimulation.

The Secret to Growing Vocations
The Secret to Growing Vocations
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
When our friends' son entered seminary right out of high school, I considered that they had some recipe for raising such a faithful young man. And when their daughter gave serious consideration to joining a religious order, I was convinced that our friends had stellar parenting skills and a formula for holiness. Those friends had a secret, I was sure, and I wanted to know what it was.

Apps for the Mass
Apps for the Mass
By De Maria
How many of you use your smartphones and tablets to keep up with the Mass? Not very many, huh. Yeah, I’m usually the only one using mine at the Parishes I attend. Although, recently, my wife has been using hers in daily Mass. I was surprised, because I’ve been suggesting it for years and she always shrugged me off.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
By De Maria
In the last article, I revealed how, one of the reasons that I left the Catholic Church is because I didn't like to kneel and pray. It seemed excruciating torture to me. And it was forced upon me by my parents, especially my grandmother, whenever she prayed. Therefore, I learned, at a very young age, to despise and avoid prayer at all costs.

II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
By De Maria
Before I begin, I’d like to thank those who are participating in the comments on the article, “Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament”. This subject was brought up in those comments and let me explain something to you, the epistle known as the 2nd Letter of St. Paul to St. Timothy (2 Tim for short), has nothing to do with Sola Scriptura.

Behold Your Mother
Behold Your Mother
By Sherry Kenner
My hometown is blessed with many Catholic churches, including Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. I have attended mass at this church most of my life, beginning at my baptism soon after birth. There is a beautiful replica of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Icon I have always loved, but I never took the time to understand its meaning or significance to our church history.

The Church vs Gay Marriage
The Church vs Gay Marriage
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
How many of you get called stupid, bigot, old school for standing with the correct definition of marriage? Isn't it amazing that liberalism preaches about welcoming all people and all opinions, but yet they seem to hate our ideologies and beliefs...apparently all opinions and beliefs are welcome until someone else has opinions that stand against liberalist ideology.

Preparing for The End
Preparing for The End
By Judy Landrieu Klein
I don’t know about you, but everywhere I turn lately, there seems to be some prophetic warning about an impending economic and social collapse coming to America. Secular financial experts are saying it. Evangelical Protestant pastors are saying it. Catholic evangelists are saying it.

Expecting Baby #7 and I'm Finally Tired of This
Expecting Baby #7 and I'm Finally Tired of This
By Heidi Bock
So, yeah, I know why you’re reading this. Don’t feel bad. You’re not the only one. Itching to hear it. Or maybe patiently waiting for me to fess up. For those tiny veins along my temples to do their thing. Confession time. To tell the whole world what you’ve already guessed. What you’ve already suspected for some time now. I’m crazy, right? Or being slowly driven crazy?
