A Devotional: Dealing with Difficult People
A Devotional: Dealing with Difficult People
By Dr. Anne DeSantis
When we are happy and feel accepted and loved, life often feels positive. When we feel alone, rejected and insecure, life feels challenging. Faith is not about feelings; we always have to confront difficulties. During these moments, it may seem as if we are all alone. It may even seem to us God doesn’t care.

The Battles Lines Have Been Drawn
By Lorrie McNickle
We really are at war. If we fail to realize that and do not arm ourselves against the risks of these battles, then it is very possible that Satan will find a way to take us down.

Saint Abel the Just; His was the first recorded death in Human History; Feast Day, January 3
By Larry Peterson
The holy people from the Old Testament are not usually called saints. We do not say, “St. Abraham”, or “St. Moses” as we do for St. Joseph or St John.

There are forty-two different Old Testament saints that have designated feast days.

A FEW SINCERE QUESTIONS FOR MY PROGRESSIVE-LIBERAL FRIENDS!
By Greg Schlueter
Jesus Christ through our Church has long exhorted us to maximal participation in public life (CCC, 1915). Indeed, we share the call to claim the world for Jesus Christ. We are called to build the Kingdom. This takes place in the social/political arena. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to "speak the language."

More Than Words
More Than Words
By E.M. McCarthy
Words matter. Anyone who has seen the way news outlets write about abortion will understand why they use words like: abortion providers, anti-abortion protesters, abortion rights activists, abortion foes, access to abortion, and the right to decide. These subtly make pro-lifers out to be heartless and backward and cruel.
