Eyewitnesses to Majesty
By Joni Johnson
We live in a world that seems to be self-destructing. War is breaking out on a daily basis. Our faith is being attacked on many fronts. The media is bombarding us with increasingly permissive ideas on what is acceptable. Promiscuity has gone to new lows. The world is constantly pushing us to redefine marriage, family, and sexuality.

Should Children Fast?
Should Children Fast?
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Because my Morning Offering draws me into prayer with the Pope's monthly intentions, I think about Pope Francis every day. And then, of course, I turn on my computer or my phone and see that A LOT of people think about Pope Francis on a daily basis.

Mass and Football
By John Molloy
Why I Stopped Going to Football Games….Do any of these excuses sound familiar from other areas of life? I doubt that these excuses have been used as frequently in reference to sports events as to Sunday Mass.

Should We Ban Books?
Should We Ban Books?
By Carol Ann Chybowski
This week, September 21-27, is Banned Books week. This annual event is more commemoration than celebration. There’s an edge of defiance to it as well—no one is going to tell me what I can read! Legitimate questions are aired and debated again. What should be banned? Is it explicit “adult” content? Graphic violence? Profanity? Anti-Catholic/Christian sentiment?

"Just a Stay at Home Mom"
"Just a Stay at Home Mom"
By Karl Erickson
If you want to know how to quickly get on my nerves, try ridiculing the stay at home mom. That kind of derisive and ignorant comment usually reveals utterly self-absorbed people, caught-up by the lie of materialism.

Júlia, we chose life!
Júlia, we chose life!
By Flávia Ghelardi
In the fourth month of pregnancy of my forth daughter, Júlia, I discovered that something was wrong with the baby, and according to the genetic doctor´s opinion, it was probably a rare syndrome (tanatophoric dwarfism) and the baby should die right after birth, and there were also risks for me.

Pope Francis: "...Marriage is about a Man and a Woman Walking Together..."
Pope Francis: "...Marriage is about a Man and a Woman Walking Together..."
By Larry Peterson
Way way back in ancient times, like around 1950, about 22% of American adults were single. Since the population 'way back then' was about 152.3 million, that would mean that about 33.5 million Americans were unattached. In 2013, the population was almost double, coming in at about 316 million people. Single adults tipped the scales at 50.2%.

A Catholic Man's Guide to Purity
A Catholic Man's Guide to Purity
By Traditional Catholic Guy
“The state of grace is nothing other than purity, and it gives heaven to those who clothe themselves in it. Holiness, therefore, is simply the state of grace purified, illuminated, beautified by the most perfect purity, exempt not only from mortal sin but also from the smallest faults; purity will make saints of you! Everything lies in this!” --St. Peter Eymard

Accept the Gift of Life
Accept the Gift of Life
By Sharla Ynostrosa
Good Morning out there! I hope everyone is having a great week. I saw a picture on Facebook this morning of Mother Teresa. Her quotes are always thought provoking, and his one really hit me hard today. Mother Teresa said, "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."

Has Secularism Conquered the St. Patrick's Day Parade? Cardinal Dolan Should Clarify Church Teaching
By Larry Peterson
We are up to our waists in the muck of secular quicksand and, slowly but surely, it is trying its best to suck us all deeper into its godless abyss. This insidious secularism has permeated so much of our lives, it has become the norm for many, especially the Millennials

The Family Rosary
The Family Rosary
By Rosemary Bogdan
These are not easy times to be raising children. The moral decline of our culture, the rise of relativism, hostility toward Christianity, in short, the world, the flesh, and the devil are all working against what we want for our children. What are parents to do? We must pray and pray hard.And who better to turn to on this, the celebration of her birthday, than the Blessed Mother.

Thirst for Reverence
Thirst for Reverence
By Karl Erickson
From the beginning of our marriage, finding a church that seemed right was a struggle. We visited church after church and spent significant time in prayer on the issue. This was not what we had planned. I had always expected to quickly settle down in the “perfect church” home, but we just could not find it.

Mysterious Tools
Mysterious Tools
By Karl Erickson
An experience from a few months ago gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of prayer. It was late at night, and my eight-year-old son was very sick in bed. He lay there moaning and crying because of terrible pain in his ears. While my wife was on the phone trying to reach a doctor, I tried to do what I could to comfort him.

I've recently had a discussion with a friend of mine who has declared herself a "feminist". Quite a few interesting things came out of that discussion, including how a few of her views had changed in the last few years that we've been friends.

Faith and Family Traditions
Faith and Family Traditions
By Sharla Ynostrosa
I just wanted to share something that touched my heart last night during Mass. I was a lector and a Eucharistic minister so I was up by the altar and able to see everyone all the way to the back of the cathedral. What caught my eye, was my son holding his 14 month old daughter, and my daughter holding her 28 month old daughter standing next to each other right below the statue of St. Anthony.

Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
Some Food for Thought on Gay Marriage
By Karl Erickson
We’re all familiar with the frantic push for homosexual marriage and/or civil unions. As people of faith striving to live peacefully within a society in growing crisis, we’re probably much more acquainted than we’d like to be with this ideology washing over us from all sides of our popular culture.
