Our Koinonia
Our Koinonia
By Michael Adsit
When my immediate or extended families get together, it brings a great joy, and a time for feasts. Most family members I have are scattered throughout the United States,all the way from the east coast to the west coast, and I live smack dab in the Midwest with two brothers in neighboring states.

Listen to God's Heartbeat In Prayer
Listen to God's Heartbeat In Prayer
By Nina Rizzo
"How's your prayer life?" I remember being asked. I looked at my friend in surprise and asked, "Are you talking to me?" I knew she was, but I was stalling for time, because I didn't pray. "I volunteer at the church. Isn't that prayer enough?" She persisted, "That restlessness you've been moaning about is because you have no prayer life!"

Lighthouses In The Storm
Lighthouses In The Storm
By Sevi Regis
No one will argue that the state of the world appears to be unraveling. There are many things happening today that even the most seasoned news aficionados shake their heads in disbelief over. As one of them cautions, James Wilson: "When the news is freakier than a Hollywood horror flick, you've got trouble."

Stark Reality
Stark Reality
By Victor S E Moubarak
John and Fiona were very distraught parents. They stayed behind in church after Mass and asked to see Father Ignatius. He suggested they wait until everyone had gone, and eventually he came back in the church from the car park, having seen the last of the parishioners leave.

The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Family and the Village People
By Anabelle Hazard
It doesn’t take superpowers to notice that all hell is breaking loose in our villages. Drug addiction, crime, racism, child abuse, divorces, sexual perversions, debt, abortion, and euthanasia have invaded our white picket fenced suburbs.

Time Traveling Pilgrims
Time Traveling Pilgrims
By Nate Lauer
Have you ever felt during the Mass, with a deep sense of knowing, the intimate presence of your loved ones that have passed on? This always proceeds from our communion with Christ. There are times for many Catholics when they tangibly seem to feel the loving embrace of our Lord Jesus Christ after receiving Him Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist at Holy Communion.

The Arrow and The Call
The Arrow and The Call
By Kathy Wilmes
One of the first questions asked of a child is what he/she would like to be when they grow up. Indeed, much of our time as parents and grandparents is spent trying to decide what skills our young ones have that they can share with the world.

"Big Brother" is Watching Everyone. What happened to God?
"Big Brother" is Watching Everyone. What happened to God?
By Larry Peterson
Surveillance is a lovely word. Derived from the French word, surveill, it flows harmlessly off the tongue. But what it means when it lands is anything but lovely. It means continuous observation of a place, person, group, or ongoing activity in order to gather information.

Body Building
Body Building
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There is a new trend in our Church. For generations, there was a very typical family pattern—young married couples would move into the area, register in the parish, baptize their infants and get their kids enrolled in CCD throughout their school years (the parents would volunteer to teach CCD and were involved in The Altar Rosary and Holy Name Society), until they received their Confirmation.

Year of Marian Consecration
Year of Marian Consecration
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I will be starting my 33 day retreat and will be following the "33 Days to Morning Glory - A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration." It's the same book that I've followed the first time. I've lived almost a whole year of consecration to Jesus through Mary, and I was consecrated to Jesus through Mary on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, February 11th, 2014.

Learning by Feasting
Learning by Feasting
By NA
God created the world in six days and took his rest or leisure on the seventh. Think about that: God rested on the seventh day. Does God really need to rest? Nope. He’s the ultimate energy source. God was insuring that we, his creation, had a day built in for rest and spiritual nourishment.

What The World Needs Now
What The World Needs Now
By Judy Landrieu Klein
“I didn’t know it would be so hard!” That was the second time in a week I’d heard those words from a mother’s lips, this time before morning Mass from a teary-eyed mother asking for prayers for her teenage son. As I saw the searing pain in this beautiful mother’s eyes, I thought of the sword that pierced Our Lady’s heart, and of all of the varied swords that have pierced the hearts of mothers

Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
By Larry Peterson
If there is one thing that is etched into my mind when I think back about the year of 2014 it is THE PICTURE. I am not trying to be graphic or shocking or anything like that. I am just trying to show how an innocent child can be brutally murdered on camera because she was born Christian, killed for propaganda purposes, and the outcry from the world is barely audible. I do not understand.

It begins around mid-December. When our focus should be on Advent we soon find the assault of women’s magazines with January dates promising you the best tips ever to eliminate household clutter.

Parting the Veil
Parting the Veil
By George Galloway
There are times in our lives when the enormity of space that seemingly separates us from the other side of the river suddenly parts. It might only be an inch or two, just a glimpse of what lies ahead on our inevitable journey, or a dramatic full-scale drawing of the curtains revealing to some privileged soul, gifted with divine mapping coordinates, our exact destination after death.
