When life begins to matter
When life begins to matter
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
Black lives matter, Latino lives matter, Asian lives matter, LBGTQ lives matter, Blue Lives Matter, all lives matter. In this “cancel culture” we are living in we are bombarded with phrases, protests, and politicians taking a stand on one side or the other. It seems there is an increasing pressure on the Church to take one side or the other.

A Joyous Return To Catholicism
A Joyous Return To Catholicism
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
It was during the midst of an emotional crisis in March 1984, that I made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Without hesitancy, I was more than aware that I needed to grow in the things that pertained to Him, and most assuredly to familiarize myself with His Word. I did not fear a “sell-out” to God since my love for the Savior had been fostered in childhood.

The Mystery of Redemption in the Parable of the Sower: The Communion of Saints
The Mystery of Redemption in the Parable of the Sower: The Communion of Saints
By Scott Pauline
It has been a long journey in allegory over the last few months, namely, the developments of the theology of music. Too, my ideas on allegory have been long growing, and now something so mind-blowing has happened that I must be going crazy. What happened over about two months ago is utterly insane.

The Four Sacraments Liberals Don't Like
The Four Sacraments Liberals Don't Like
By Scott Pauline
Our world is inundated with extremes, isn’t it? Liberal and conservative; rich and poor; technology and simplicity; machismoism and hyper-feminism; absolutely no birth control, then pills and barriers up the wazoo; comfortable computer desks and hard-core, back-breaking mine grime; no end in sight. However, the big contrast of our modern day is clearly the supreme poles of our current culture:

"Don't Give Up--Keep Trying!"
"Don't Give Up--Keep Trying!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
DON'T GIVE UP!!!! It seems daily, we come under the sneaky attack in our mind the words that will discourage you. Words like-"Oh what is the use, who cares what I do, or say." Everyone is seems, is into their own little world and any attempts to reach out to them seems to be unwanted or appreciated. "We don't want to hear about what God thinks, or what He has to say."

God Had a Plan B
God Had a Plan B
By E.M. McCarthy
Sometimes we all need to come up with a Plan B because life never goes as we plan. It comforts me to realize even God had to go to Plan B.

Where is your joy?
Where is your joy?
By Troy Kroening
Do you have joy? And if so, where is your source of joy? Indeed, our greatest joy should be in Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ, we see the depths of God’s love for us. We see our worth.

"Are there any Winners in the Church because of Covid-19?"
"Are there any Winners in the Church because of Covid-19?"
By Ralph Hathaway
A very rhetorical question that should be on the minds of each one. You can walk or drive by most Catholic Churches and notice signs informing that this building is closed. The devastation of an unseen, and for the most part a confusing entity, has held all of us hostage. This event has affected the world’s population and no one appears to be safe.

The Root of Evil
The Root of Evil
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
The world around us is dark. Between COVID restrictions and regulations, protests, riots, vandalism, and destruction of religious statues, it seems the world gets darker with each day. If you dare to turn on the news it could seem like all the good in the world is a surfer who is about to be drowned by a tsunami sized wave in the ocean. There are questions that seem to be screaming for answers.

A Transformational Journey
A Transformational Journey
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
I will always thank God for His gift of life, and with it, the capacity to change. His Word succinctly states in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that “If any person be in Christ, they are a new creation. Old things have passed away, behold all things shall become new.” That verse has applied to my life in every extent, nevertheless there are times that I grieve in my recollection as to what and who I was

"Sense and Sensibility": What Jane Austen can teach us about emotional chastity
By Sinclair Cushmore
Chastity is something that is widely misunderstood in our modern culture. In a world where the sexual revolution has taken root, traditional values regarding sexuality, such as waiting until you are married to have relations, seem restrictive and out of touch. To a Catholic who seeks to live out God’s plan for our sexuality, however, chastity is freeing. But even in Catholic circles, the scope

No one said it would be easy, cobber!!!
By Victor S E Moubarak
We were watching a Christian program on TV and I made an off the cuff comment that sometimes it is very difficult being a Christian considering all the world’s temptations and how many non-believers seem to have it so good.

Original Sin
Original Sin
By Dan Baca
A little over five years ago, I was desperate for a good answer. At my office, I was working with a woman—who was a fallen-away Catholic—and she had two young children that she would not get baptized. Her opinion—though she didn’t quote scripture—was based upon Deut. 12: 24.

Catholics Must Ask: Does Black Lives Matter Support Abortion Rights?
By E.M. McCarthy
Racism is a serious moral issue. Catholicism is a religion of many nations, many people, many colors. When we go to Mass, we see every nationality and people from many backgrounds, which in theory should lead us to love each other based on the teachings of our Lord Jesus.
