Time to Pause, Take a Breath, and Give Thanks to HIM
Time to Pause, Take a Breath, and Give Thanks to HIM
By Larry Peterson
The simplicity of the Thanksgiving Holiday captured my spirit decades ago. This is the one day of the year where we, as Americans, just stop everything and take a breath from the year gone by to say THANK YOU to God.

Don't Alienate Your Non-Religious Family This Year
Don't Alienate Your Non-Religious Family This Year
By Sterling Jaquith
Whether you're hosting a huge family dinner or having Friends Thanksgiving, you're likely to run into people who aren't Catholic, people who have mostly walked away from their Catholic faith, or lukewarm Catholics who are still going to Mass, but lack the joy of our great faith.

Let's Give Our Kids a Sense of the Sacred
Let's Give Our Kids a Sense of the Sacred
By Colleen Mitchell
I read a Facebook conversation the other day discussing the style of Mass that people find appeals most to their children. Surprisingly, or maybe not so much, many of the parents said that Masses full of artificial elements meant to appeal to children were not the ones where their children were most drawn into the Mass.

November and Aisle Two
November and Aisle Two
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Last night I met a woman named Sharon. I was on a late-night shopping run at a big-box store, and though we were never formally introduced, I learned her name from her cheerfully decorated name tag.

Thelma and Louise With Jesus
Thelma and Louise With Jesus
By Judy Landrieu Klein
“Can you please help me bring my son to Communita Cenacolo?” I asked my friend, Mary Lou McCall, in desperation four and a half years ago. That request—and her unhesitating “yes”—took us on a road trip 600 miles away to St. Augustine, Florida, where we delivered my then-nineteen-year-old son, Christian, to a Catholic community founded to heal those in the grips of addiction.

Human Love Will Never Be Enough
Human Love Will Never Be Enough
By Melanie Jean Juneau
As Christians we are often surprised to discover that we are not as Christian as we suppose. Many attitudes from secular society lurk deep in our minds and hearts. Our attitudes to love and friendship are no exception. Do you find yourself waiting secretly for your knight in shining armour to whisk you off your feet so you can live happily ever after?

When I Grow Up?
When I Grow Up?
By Michael Adsit
Being a husband and father of three has given me opportunities to share stories of faith, hope and love with you all. Is my marriage and family life perfect? When you walk into my home, will you see a "Walton Family Thanksgiving" or a "Very Brady Christmas"? Probably not.

Authentic Leadership of St. Joseph
Authentic Leadership of St. Joseph
By Charles Johnston
Joseph was the man who was betrothed to Mary when she came home one night, pregnant. Many men would have left her that moment knowing the child was not his. You see there was little confusion on this point as Mary, at least as far as Joseph knew was a virgin.

It's OK to Be a Stay-At-Home Mom!
It's OK to Be a Stay-At-Home Mom!
By Rosemary Bogdan
As a young feminist college student, I never expected to be a stay-at-home mom. With the newly found empowerment of feminist thinking, why would I want to assume a role of such powerlessness? Needless to say, discerning God’s will for my life was not even on the radar at that time.

My Keys
My Keys
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I am going to write about a few keys that I have gained throughout living my Catholic faith. These keys are still major points in living my Catholic faith, and still continue to help in shaping me as a child of God. In studying and praying, these keys have helped me in healing, forgiving, and loving, all with pure intentions. From the very first moment, I realized that I spoke and God answered.

My Friends, The Saints
My Friends, The Saints
By Sterling Jaquith
When I converted to Catholicism after being an Evangelical Protestant, there were a lot of new things to take in. There was the Pope and the tradition of the Church. There was Mary and the rosary. There was adoration and confession. There were feast days and fast days. And then there were the saints.

There are Angels Among Us, Sent Down To Us, From God Above
There are Angels Among Us, Sent Down To Us, From God Above
By Sharla Ynostrosa
I want to list some of the many blessings that I have seen and experienced each day during the Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign. I was touched by angels every day, God is so great! I wish that I had taken the time to list one recap of each day as it happened.

Lessons From The Craft Fair
Lessons From The Craft Fair
By Carol Ann Chybowski
I have recently moved to a new parish and was delighted to see what a great event they have made of their holiday craft fair. Holiday boutiques are ubiquitous, and they are sometimes brushed aside as old-fashioned or boring or filled with thing you don’t really need but buy anyway because it’s just what we do this time of year.

A Mary in a Martha World
A Mary in a Martha World
By Lori Peters
I am a slob for Christ. I know what Paul says about being a “fool for Christ.” I completely get that, and I do strive toward that goal, but as I look around my well-lived in house, I would add that in my case, I’m also a slob for our Lord and that’s OK.

Giving thanks for my best gift
By John Rieping
A few years ago on the U.S. day of thanksgiving, I reluctantly watched a cartoon on the journey of the English émigrés, the pilgrims, who sought religious freedom by settling in North America.

The Passion of the Church, part 2: The Modernist Attack on Feminine Dignity
The Passion of the Church, part 2: The Modernist Attack on Feminine Dignity
By Traditional Catholic Guy
The topic of this article is a very grave one, and unfortunately it is not discussed often today. The attack and loss of feminine dignity has had more destructive effects upon this nation and upon the world than any other immorality, save blasphemy and sacrilege.

The Best Thanksgiving Ever
By Lori Peters
