Standing on Sand
Standing on Sand
By Susan Skinner
The past couple of months have interiorly been difficult for me and I have been trying to talk to the Lord about it. There was a barrage of things that took place, starting with the dog, to some family turmoil, to sickness. All of it was coming at me from outside. From other people, places and things. There were just so many things I could not control. I was feeling pummelled.

Have you met Satan?
By Victor S E Moubarak
Have you noticed how Sunday sermons these days are full of niceties and platitudes and sentiments that everyone would generally agree with. At least round where I am, the sermons are always like that.

A Parishioner Who Showed Me My Loveliness
A Parishioner Who Showed Me My Loveliness
By Katie Zalany
I'm in the church choir at my parish and I often get gently pressured to cantor at times. Encouraging words about my voice and potential are said, but there's just one problem: I get terribly nervous singing in front of others on my own and my voice becomes too soft and weak. Plus, there are plenty of other talented, better singers in the group.

The Eucharist: is it the Body of Christ?
The Eucharist: is it the Body of Christ?
By Troy Kroening
We could get really theological in talking about the Eucharist, but it is really simple. When you go up to receive the Eucharist in Holy Communion, the Eucharistic minister says, “Body of Christ”.

So, what’s new in the Catholic world these days? Well, a recent survey found that 7 out of 10 Catholics do not believe the Eucharist is the real body and blood of Jesus.

Robots can't sin. That's why they would make lousy priests.
By Anthony S. Layne
The program I use to compose and arrange music has a tool which will take a passage from one instrument and create accompaniment for other instruments out of it. Arrangement is a complex task which can turn a simple folk tune into a lush orchestral symphony or reduce a well-known classical piece to a New Orleans jazz combo (as Harry Connick, Jr. did with “Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairies”).

Living Liturgically Part 4: Being Fed on the Sacraments
Living Liturgically Part 4: Being Fed on the Sacraments
By Katie Zalany

Living Liturgically Part 3: Living the Mass Readings
By Katie Zalany
For several years, I've been reading and praying with the daily Mass readings everyday first thing in the morning after I pray the morning Liturgy of the Hours. Usually, there's a word, phrase or challenge that speaks to me which I pray with and reflect on its meaning in my life.

Daily Mass
Daily Mass
By Mary Rivers
Each day we commit small hurtful offenses against others, which do not reflect love of Christ. As disciples, we wish to throw off these transgressions which prevent us from entering the Narrow Gate. We persevere, going to daily Mass, begging for grace from Our Savior, maybe not realizing the Mass itself has the same formula in its rites as does Confession.
