A Prayerful Nation
A Prayerful Nation
By Crysaly Aviles
In the wake of the recent tragedies from terrorism in Orlando, Florida and Turkey; and most recently a massacre in Dallas - I am reminded that we were once a nation under God. There was a time when we prayed as a whole for God’s instruction and intervention and were blessed by it. Today we are divided by race and religion.

Prayers for the Dallas P.D.
Prayers for the Dallas P.D.
By Joseph Michael
The tragic and evil events that took place in Dallas have opened a wound in our national fabric not seen since 9/11. Nationwide, the family members of law enforcement officers like myself hurt today. Those of us who know what it is to wait up at night for our loved ones to come home are in mourning.

Repent
Repent
By Crysaly Aviles
Repent. At face value it means to be sorry for something bad that we did. However, with God repentance means to turn from our evil ways and not repeat the behavior that we are sorry for. True repentance requires that we feel sorry for transgressing God and not sorry that we were caught. There is a big difference.

From Grief, or Struggle, or Hardship- To Grace
From Grief, or Struggle, or Hardship- To Grace
By Teresa Hurst
Today, I was finishing a book I’m reading by my dear friend, Jeannie Ewing, entitled: From Grief to Grace, The Journey from Tragedy to Triumph, published by Sophia Institute Press. The impetus of this book is in sharing her story and struggles with being the mother of a medically fragile child. There is a wellspring of thought-provoking gems—from redemptive suffering to Divine Mercy—

The Love You Didn't Know You Had
The Love You Didn't Know You Had
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Kindness is love’s meaningful “point of contact” with another; that’s why kindness is described as “the touch of love.” Jude 21 says, “Stay always within the boundaries where God’s love can reach and bless you.” It’s within those same boundaries that you can reach and bless others. Those boundaries may have been bare-cupboard areas for years, but scraps of grace-animated kindness become the nutrie

What I wish I knew before I decided to study theology
What I wish I knew before I decided to study theology
By Elizabeth Hoyle
When I made the decision to study theology in addition to English in college, I had no idea I was embarking on a faith journey as well as an academic one. But that’s how it is with Catholicism: ours is a faith of both the head and the heart. Learning is supposed to enhance our faith and vice versa.

Infallibility of The Church
Infallibility of The Church
By Kevin Noles
The use of infallibility in Catholic theology is rather restrictive; it is a Catholic dogma and has been taught through the ages. It means that, by Divine assistance, the Church (of Christ), is preserved from error, or even the possibility of error, in definitive dogmatic teachings regarding faith and morals.

Reflections On a "Memory"
Reflections On a "Memory"
By Mike Bugal
In my Facebook “Memories” post that they put on our Newsfeed daily I came across some comments that I made last year at this time. The Supreme Court of the United States of America had just handed down their decision legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states and the territories.

Cinderella and Her Fiberglass Slippers
Cinderella and Her Fiberglass Slippers
By Teresa Hurst
I have cold feet, and it has nothing to do with being afraid of entering into a nuptial arrangement. Heck, we jumped onto that amusement park ride some thirty years ago. No, I actually have cold feet; literally. My husband can readily testify to this brutal fact.

A Follow Up to "A Crisis of Faith"
A Follow Up to "A Crisis of Faith"
By Mike Bugal
In my recent article under that title I talked about the debate taking place in my mind over the last month or two concerning the implications of the traditional Catholic dogma concerning whether or not there is salvation outside the Catholic Church. For the most part it was understood by the majority of readers in the spirit in which I intended it.

Moral Relativism: Objectively Wrong
Moral Relativism: Objectively Wrong
By Marcos Lopez
The idea that morality, or right and wrong, is subjective has pervaded our culture. This notion that there is no universal truth has quite handily brushed aside the previously established Catholic teaching. Lead by a generation that lets its passions and emotions make its decisions, the world has embraced moral relativism.

Pagan Worship Logical Until God Revealed Himself
Pagan Worship Logical Until God Revealed Himself
By Bill Dunn
The brilliant 20th century author G.K. Chesterton summarized the entire history of religion in one sentence. He wrote, “Paganism was the biggest thing in the world, and Christianity was bigger, and everything since has been comparatively small.”

A HOT Item: On Modesty and Bikinis
A HOT Item: On Modesty and Bikinis
By Greg Schlueter
The conversation took place among good Catholic brothers gathered for a cigar and scotch. Politics. 80’s rock. Joe Bonamassa (awesome blues man). Family stories. And on this particular night, the conversation turned to bikinis. Bikinis. No, it’s not what one might think of “men talking” and “bikinis.” But what one might think is enough to make the point.

True Freedom and the Beautiful Life
True Freedom and the Beautiful Life
By Tony Crescio
Our country is once again on the eve of the celebration of our Independence Day, a day which we rightly commemorate because of the victory won for human dignity; as freedom was gained for a people to live life according to the dictates of conscience, not the mandate of the state.

Missionary Work Still Needed Among the Wolves
Missionary Work Still Needed Among the Wolves
By Bill Dunn
In this week’s gospel reading, from Luke, chapter 10, we read about the time Jesus sent seventy-two of his followers out on an important mission. They were to go into all the towns and places that Jesus intended to visit, and they were to proclaim, “The kingdom of God is at hand.” Their task was to get the people ready for Jesus’ imminent appearance.
