It Might Have Been
It Might Have Been
By Ann Frailey
A wrong number. Not a scam. Just some innocent woman looking for her sister Pearl. Jason assured her that he wasn’t Pearl, hit the end button, and slid the phone across his desk. He dropped his head onto his hand and tried to concentrate.

Living The Worthy Life- Sheen's First May Educate You
By Michael Cunningham
For the better part of the twentieth century, the name Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was synonymous with American Catholicism. The full impact of Sheen’s career and his influence upon the American Church will never be fully determined—and perhaps never fully appreciated.

From Addiction to Redemption
From Addiction to Redemption
By Susan Skinner
I have told this story before but on the Feast of his death I decided to print it again. Eight years ago today Michael Patrick Fallon passed away while in seminary after having a heart attack from a heart defect he had had since childhood. I hadn’t seen or spoken to him in about 20 years.

Love Alone
Love Alone
By Ann Frailey
My daughter showed me a YouTube video recently of a little girl meeting her adoptive parents for the first time. The child, about four, could not have been more adorable. Beyond her innate cuteness, her enthusiasm, her voice quality and mannerisms, which all personified the very best of child-ness, it was her words that rang in my ears long after the video segment fell silent.

Ecological Sins
Ecological Sins
By E.M. McCarthy
When I read in my church bulletin's “Social Justice” corner an article about the threat to the environment by plastic bags and the suggestion we should give up on K-Cup coffee, I bristled. I'm not confessing something so silly as using plastic cups the next time I go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Trying to Be a Hero
Trying to Be a Hero
By Ann Frailey
Susanne shivered. Rain had settled into a steady drizzle, and dark clouds hid any vestiges of the evening sun. One of the very last pink and golden leaves of the season fluttered in a gentle breeze and then, without warning, careened from the heights to land on her head.

What Hope Looks Like
What Hope Looks Like
By Ann Frailey
It’s cold, raining, near dusk, and I’m sitting in the back seat of my car, munching old trail mix. And why on God’s earth would I be doing such a thing? To be honest, I’m not rightly sure. Mostly, I’m waiting for two kids who are serving at a dinner inside the church hall. I could be inside, eating spaghetti with everyone else, but I’m not.

There was a quick development of anger and horror shortly after the beginning of the Amazon Synod Mass! For there was a display of Mother earth items, one of which a statue of a half naked pregnant woman.
