Our Ultimate Drama: This Week's Live IT Gathering
By Greg Schlueter
There's no MOVEMENT unless we MOVE... beyond the Christian hot-tub, beyond the comfy places where it's easy, beyond a fleeting moment, and into our lives with the power to transform the planet....

Standing Up for Large Families in our 'Tolerant' Modern Society
Standing Up for Large Families in our 'Tolerant' Modern Society
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Large families are an anomaly in desperate need of an advocate in modern society. A prompt on a health website asked, “Are you an advocate for any cause?”I sputtered to myself, “I am not an advocate for anything or anybody!” Immediately after that statement, a new idea popped into my mind, “Hey, wait a minute. I stand up for large families in modern society!”

The Grace of Ordinary Time!
The Grace of Ordinary Time!
By Rosemary Bogdan
The Easter season has ended and here we are back in Ordinary Time. It's not Advent or Christmas. It is not Lent or the joyous season of Easter. It's ordinary. It is the normal rhythm of our daily lives. There is a great grace that lies on the days that are high feasts in the Church. But may we never forget that there is grace in the ordinary as well.

Rational Relations
Rational Relations
By Faith-Full Writer
A recent edition of Faith! Magazine had a statistic in it – something like 61% of Catholic people support same-sex marriage. To many, I think it seems like a civil rights issue. “I have the right to be married to the person I love; why should the government restrict that right to others?”

Searching for Love...Blindfolded
Searching for Love...Blindfolded
By Veronica Dannemiller
One of love's greatest enemies is sight. Infatuation, pornography, jealousy... But what about a love that's pure and holy? That's real love, the love that everyone's after, the true happily ever after.

Motherhood
Motherhood
By Flora Burke
In 2011, my husband and I made the decision for me to give up my career to stay at home to take care of my daughter. We had talked about it before marriage and my husband knew it was something that I wanted. However, we also wanted to be financially secure.

Plane Tickets and Popsicles
By Mary Ann Gambill
I have been a tad bit stressed out lately. We have known that we are outgrowing our house for some time now. Since we moved here we have added Sollie, Malachi and the little one to the mix. These kids have brought an astonishing amount of equipment and supplies.

Faith and the Old Man
Faith and the Old Man
By John C Prejean Sr.
One of the things that I vividly remember after coming back to church after such a long hiatus, was the lack of men out in the pews. It’s not that I didn’t see any men but the men that I did see out there were the older men, our fathers and our grandfathers. So, where were all the younger men at?

Catholicism: A Faith for Doubters
By Amanda Knapp
I became a mom just under seven years ago. I remember the first time I looked into my daughter's eyes. I had never seen anything or anyone so pure and innocent. I reveled in it. I got lost in it.

Will Legalizing "Same-Sex Marriage" Legalize the "Three-Parent Family?
By Larry Peterson
The Republic of Ireland, once a bastion of Catholicism, now has embraced the distinction of being the first country in the world to approve a constitutional amendment approving of "same-sex marriage". I wrap the phrase in quotation marks because this whole concept is still an illusion.

"Because, I Told You So!"
"Because, I Told You So!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
Now, my children are all grown and out the door—but I remember many were the times when I heard a ‘why?’ and responded---“Because I told you so—now do it.” Rather it was to clean up a room, finish their chores, go out to play, do their homework—it didn’t matter—because I am parent—and know what is best for you—“so, do as you are told.”

We're All Saints
We're All Saints
By Mariel Roersma
Each time we go to Mass, or pray either the Apostle's Creed or the Nicene Creed, we say, "I believe in the Communion of Saints." The Communion of Saints includes Saints on Earth, and in Heaven. I think that when people think of the Saints, they think about those who have been canonized, and are in Heaven. But there are Saints on Earth too. Those of us here in the Body of Christ are Saints.

The Trinity and Prayer
The Trinity and Prayer
By Pat McDermott
Did you ever try to explain the “Trinity” to someone who didn’t understand it? Not an easy task, is it? I heard a great comparison that you may want to consider… it surely helped me not only explain it, but understand it. I am the “daughter” of two amazing parents.

Weeds Of The Soul
Weeds Of The Soul
By Michael Palaich
It started when I was a young boy. Even then, I found it interesting to observe the difference between homeowners who maintained their lawns and those who did not. I was arrogant enough in my youth to think that I could judge a homeowner by the amount of weed growth in their lawn.

By Greg Schlueter
We are parents. Our six children range in age from 17 to 10. Whatever else we do in life, our ultimate measure of success is whether or not they make it to heaven. Nothing is more important.
