The Poor
The Poor
By Ralph Hathaway
Previously I wrote two reflections on poverty and they encompass the poor in a way that should move our sense of compassion for those who are disenfranchised and cannot speak for themselves.

Poverty II
Poverty II
By Ralph Hathaway
Sometime in February 2015 I wrote a reflection on Poverty with two accompanying poems. One poem had to do with the personal acceptance of seeking a life without attachment to any type of material possessions; i.e. the choice of finding a connection to God without distractions of competing with oneself for treasures without meaning.

Poverty
Poverty
By Ralph Hathaway
I often wonder about evil, its existence and the effect it has upon so many people. If we think about evil and attempt to categorize the many different threads that are connected to this one abstract, yet real obtrusiveness in human history, we could absolutely go berserk in trying to list them.

Suicidality, Divine Mercy and Healing
Suicidality, Divine Mercy and Healing
By Rose Cuervo
Once I was on a train ride talking to a black woman who lamented some of the inner city realities which we are too familiar with–lack of jobs, poverty, disconnect with opportunity.

Judas' betrayal was not his most serious sin
Judas' betrayal was not his most serious sin
By Denise Deverts
The coming of Divine Mercy Sunday this year prompted me to contemplate Judas Iscariot and the action that severed his relationship with God. And, now that I’ve given the matter some thought, I no longer believe that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus was his most egregious sin.

...what reward will you have?
...what reward will you have?
By Joseph Michael
There seems to be a disturbing trend plaguing our society that instills in me a fear far greater than any fear that I might derive from the thought of terrorists or active shooters or any other kind of boogeymen that the talking heads on TV might try to force feed our already-weary psyches.

Just do good and we'll find a meeting point
Just do good and we'll find a meeting point
By De Maria
Have you read this in Scripture? Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Questions Answered: Contraception
Questions Answered: Contraception
By Kevin Noles
Recently I was brought into a post on a friend’s Facebook where questions were being asked about why Catholics believe that contraception is against God’s will. Most Protestants believe that it is just fine to contracept and that this is between God and the couple.

The significance of the name Barabbas
The significance of the name Barabbas
By Elizabeth Hoyle
As Catholics, we know that names are important. We name our parishes, our schools, and our children after saints and notable figures from the bible. The significance of names is not strictly a Catholic thing, however. The ancient Jews and the Jews of Jesus’ day understood the importance of names.

Sticks and Stones
Sticks and Stones
By Linda Kracht
“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.” While this adage has been oft-repeated [and presumed to be true because of its widespread use and awareness] since it first appeared in The Christian Recorder [source: Wikipedia], we have to ask/wonder — is it mostly true or mostly false? Do words affect us or not? How deeply?

Fortitude Sister of Prudence, Justice and Temperance
Fortitude Sister of Prudence, Justice and Temperance
By Linda Kracht
The focus on fasting, almsgiving, self denial, and the penitential practices of Lent will soon give way — at least for most faithful Lenten observers — to the celebration of the greatest and oldest Christian Feast known as Easter.

Will You Choose to Please Him?
Will You Choose to Please Him?
By Tanya Janoski
The topic of abortion is one not many want to discuss regardless of the position on the issue one stands. Our politically correct society fears offending man yet has no fear of offending God.

Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
Shopping Carts, Taxes, and Hip Replacements
By Ross Decker
With the possibility of the repeal and replacement for Obamacare, my Facebook timeline has been abuzz. One side calls for compassion to the poor, the other complains of higher premiums they blame on Obama. I can understand the desire to have a bit more money but I can’t understand valuing that money over the lives of the poor and marginalized.

False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
By Kevin Noles
I was reading through the comments section of one of the articles awhile ago on here and a commentator left his (or maybe a preferred) website as their comment. They did not say anything other than leaving the site address, but I decided to have a look anyway.

Sin
Sin
By Ralph Hathaway
Earlier I wrote a reflection entitled; “The Attraction to Deadly Sin”. I covered some various sections from the CCC and assorted personal thoughts relating to sin. However, this addition to or relative thinking may be a little more personal and certainly may touch on the very presence of the Holy Spirit within these pages.

Aquinas vs. Dawkins: The 5 Five Proofs of God's Existence
By Christopher McCarthy
Thomas Aquinas` famous five proofs for the existence of God are among the most heavily debated and woefully misunderstood philosophical concepts in our modern age. In recent decades, they have formed a consistent basis for countless non-sequiturs and straw-man arguments against Christianity

Euthanasia; What's Next?
Euthanasia; What's Next?
By Ralph Hathaway
This might be the most challenging reflection I have attempted to write about and certainly the most provocative piece of current-day discussions posed by many in the field of medicine, church, families of dying loved ones, and those who are the recipients of end-of-life decisions.
