The Faith of a Child

You Can Get Here From There (Part 1)
You Can Get Here From There (Part 1)
By Dean P. Johnson
They say that hindsight is 20/20. Well, if that were true, we would all learn so clearly from our experiences and mistakes that there would be little need for ongoing growth, learning, formation. Hindsight is more 50/50: Sometimes you get it, and sometimes you don’t.

Did You Buy Donuts?
By Elizabeth Thomas

How Big Pharma and Your Doc Profit from Ignorance: Knowledge is Power.
How Big Pharma and Your Doc Profit from Ignorance: Knowledge is Power.
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
Cramming the pillow I'd brought from home a little more to my left, I attempted to placate the cramp that was forming in my back. After years of slumbering on a waterbed, this rock hard hospital bed felt like a torture rack. So there I was trying to create a bit of comfort and counting down the minutes until I could scoop up my newest bundle and check-out when my midwife slid a chair beside me.

5 Uncommon Reasons to Keep Your Unborn Child
By Matthew Sewell
When St. John Paul II walked out onto the balcony after being elected pope in 1978, the first words out of his mouth were, “Be not afraid!!” Those were strong words back then, when many Christians across the world, including in his home nation of Poland, were being severely oppressed under Communist rule.

Be Not Vexed
Be Not Vexed
By Elizabeth Thomas
I thought it very interesting that the Bible reading that I was led to on Monday was Psalm 37, which starts out “BE NOT VEXED over evildoers.” Considering this week was the beginning of the “new” government and the days of continued fighting and name calling among our Congress and the President, it was not difficult to see why I was led to that reading. Now, the ‘vexed’ part is simple enough.

The Primacy of Love

Ordinary Time
Ordinary Time
By Rosemary Bogdan
It’s Ordinary Time. Again. How the quickly the seasons fly by. The older I get, the faster they fly. Once you reach a certain age you realize this is true. There is indeed a perception that time is passing faster. As alarming as this may be, it also brings a profound realization that every moment matters.

Giving up worry for Lent
Giving up worry for Lent
By Susan Skinner
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?

Long Night's Journey into Mourning
Long Night's Journey into Mourning
By Dom Perry
I awoke to discover I was in mourning long before tragedy ever struck. I awoke in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat with something flying past me, hitting me in the head. As I opened my eyes, I saw through a blur, something grayish, maybe a wing flying past.

Wait, Jesus and Mary were... Wedding Planners!?
By Melanie R. Cameron
When I think, "wedding planner," I inevitably picture the ever-hilarious Martin Short, who played Franck Eggelhoffer in "Father of the Bride" ... a far cry from the wedding at Cana, but hey, who's counting?

Out of Time....
Out of Time....
By Michelle Watkins
Depending which source you seek online, only 41%-20% of Catholics attend Mass weekly. (I’ve heard in recent sermons the number is close to 20-25% locally.) Years ago, I took an informal survey with co-workers and friends why they opted out of Mass attendance.

The Saints Have Feet: A Meditation Inspired by a Toddler's Tantrums
By Luke Arredondo
As a parent with three children age three and under, going to Mass on Sunday brings with it many challenges. We have a tough time getting everyone dressed, finding their shoes, getting in the car and making it early enough to get a safe seat in the middle or back of the church, and thus almost always wind up in the front few rows.

Wait Until Marriage?
Wait Until Marriage?
By Linda Kracht
The blogosphere has lit up over this question: Why Wait Until Marriage? Some people go so far as to argue that not waiting is worth it because it is a means by which to measure compatibility. Others suggest that not wanting to wait is the yardstick to measure one’s lack of worthiness.
