Veronica
By Mallory Hoffman
The day was stifling as Veronica began to walk to the well to bring water home to her husband and children. The sun was just rising in the east. The sun was red as it began to rise.

How to Make a Priest
By Daria Winker
As the mother of a priest, I occasionally hear comments about “thank you for your son” or “how blessed we are for our son.” I also get asked what we did to have a priestly son. I can honestly say other than having a male child, it was totally the Holy Spirit that made my son a priest.

I'm nothing... I'm so very nothing without...
By Melanie R. Cameron
Just as Lent approached, I had a proverbial smack in the face from a friend about my lack of friendship. I asked, "Who am I?" On Fat Tuesday, my husband and I, realizing a lack of empathy in our marriage, both sighed, "Who are we? We need Lent."

Catholic Sex Scandals: Media Double Standards vs. Statistics
By Dave Armstrong
The terrible revelations of sexual misbehavior and cover-ups, exposed in 2002-2003 remain a huge and unspeakably evil scandal. I've never seen any conscientious, serious Catholic try to excuse or justify what happened. It's a black mark that has caused untold damage in many ways.

The Gift of Presence
By Elizabeth A. McGuirk
It's another Sunday morning at Mass and every fiber of my is being directed towards my one purpose. No, I don't mean spiritual union with Christ -- I mean keeping my kids quiet and in place.

Taking out the trash (and other chores...)
By Catherine Garrett
Wednesday is trash day for us. All day Tuesday when I pass a trashcan I think "I have to take the trash out BEFORE its dark!" But inevitably, something else comes up. My five month old cries or needs a diaper, my four year old stubs her toe or my almost three year old brings me a treasure.

A Voice Cries Out
By Elizabeth Thomas
Many may be the times we will wonder, “Does anyone hear the words I share? Words we speak of comfort, reassurance, advice, encouragement; words that counsel or words to alert or warn in hopes to prevent further disasters in another’s life. Or perhaps the words we hesitently share that speak of personal pain, inner struggles.

Be A Living Rosary
By Lisa Ponchak
I believe God calls us to the vocation that is going to best help us encounter him and help us grow in holiness. The more we encounter him and grow in holiness, the more joy we will have. For me, that vocation is Motherhood.

Communication Breakdown
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
If I take a trip to Italy and I only speak English, absent a translator, I may have a very difficult time communicating. The lack of my ability to communicate can cause severe problems. The root problem is two languages are being spoken and neither individual understands the other one’s language.

Lessons in Forgiveness
By Michaelyn Hein
When I was pregnant with my daughter last year, my husband and I got in a pretty big argument. It wasn't over anything that bad, really, but I'm the kind of person who lets frustrations pile up, until I reach a breaking point, which I did just before one of our ultrasound appointments, right there in the waiting room.

God of the Superheroes
By Elizabeth A. McGuirk
I wish I had a spiritual life like that of my four-year-old son. Like many boys his age, he has in the past year become fascinated with superheroes and all their extraordinary powers. For him, however, this has also coincided with a period of great new awareness of the presence and nature of God.

Lent and the miraculous hoax of grace
By Mary Ann Gambill
As we are in our season of Lent at the Gambill house, the theme of grace and mercy are the prevailing marker by which we continue to live. We have chosen to not so much give up things but to give in to God. Give in to His voice, give in to His path without kicking and screaming or complaint.

The hidden life of the Holy Family
By Marie Kelly
In the Gospels, it says “Mary treasured these things in her heart.” Moms do that. They keep memories. Have you ever wondered what memories Mary treasured? We don’t know the hidden moments but we can take guesses. Mary was a mom. I bet she told St. Anne about baby Jesus first step.

God "Geeks" Easter's Transformation
By Amy Alexander
Over the past year, the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) has been running a public awareness campaign called Geek the Library . The campaign’s tag question: “What do you geek?” By turning the noun “geek” into a verb, the OCLC has made it cool to be so interested in something that you’re willing to seek the subject’s frontiers, read, talk, write about it and live it.

Catholic and Gay
By Will Moravits
Many things have changed since I first became a youth minister in 2000. In addition to the changes in technology, social media, etc. the ideas of right and wrong in society have also changed.

Dorm Womb
By Catherine Fuss
I have a dear friend in our Bible study, and she shared something special she did for her three daughters with us. As each of them started at college, Cheri made a point to get them settled in their first dorm rooms and to create a bed “haven” for the girls. It was very important for her to give those girls a place of safety, beauty, and warmth.

We Said "Yes", Too
By Michaelyn Hein
I heard it again yesterday. The words that make me cringe a little, terrible though that sounds. But, it's not from disagreement. I cringe from something else.
