What Choice is Ours?
What Choice is Ours?
By Joseph Michael
If there is anything that we, as Catholics, can learn—assuming we didn’t already know this—from the abhorrent state of our nation’s political affairs, it is that we should never put our faith in men (or women).

Dear Unbeliever
Dear Unbeliever
By Crysaly Aviles
You are loved. Thousands of believers around the world pray for your salvation probably without your knowing. As a body of Christ we care where you end up for all eternity. I want you to know that I pray for the right message that might reach your heart and pierce your soul.

(not so) Satisfied
(not so) Satisfied
By Janice Bostic
Last weekend's gospel came from Saint Luke, and it has been on my mind all week long. It's a familiar reading. Even as a Protestant, I heard it over and over. I dare say even the non-religious type knows the story of the loaves and fishes. Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish.

What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful
What Makes Us Human Makes us Beautiful
By Tony Crescio
What is a human being? I know, this sounds like a silly question, but take a moment and try to answer it. If we take the prevailing knowledge of the day, we will get answers that are just as confused as the ones I receive from the students whom I present this question to.

3 Year Old Dead After Tragedy in Cincinnati
By Courtney Holbrook
I write this in hopes that by the time this article is published, it might be considered archaic and behind on current events. However with a pending court case, that remains to be seen.

Forgiveness Is Awesome, But Sin Still Hurts
Forgiveness Is Awesome, But Sin Still Hurts
By Bill Dunn
At Mass this weekend, all three readings have the same theme: God’s forgiveness. In the first reading, the prophet Nathan confronted King David. David recently had done a couple of rather nasty things. First, he committed adultery; then, in an attempt to cover it up, he committed murder.

Killing messes up our heart.
Killing messes up our heart.
By Kathy Lamb
My son David is against all killing. I tend to agree with his reasons for not wanting to kill, not wanting to kill even insects. Killing anything messes with our heart. Here’s a mix of what I learned from him and my own take on it.

Living Sermons
Living Sermons
By Tony Crescio
Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words. So goes the saying often attributed to the Italian saint, Francis of Assisi. Implied, of course, within this famous quote, is the idea that we have the ability to preach the gospel with the whole of our lives.

Love Makes the Word Go Round
Love Makes the Word Go Round
By Linda Kracht
After sitting down to write this article I googled: number of couples still married after forty years. Some interesting references popped up but the one that caught my eye was titled 40 Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage by Dennis Rainey. I shouldn’t have read it! Not because I didn’t agree with him but because I did. Rainey perfectly captured points I planned to write about.

Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?
Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?
By Larry Peterson
The words--annihilation, extermination, carnage, and slaughter, to name a few, are synonyms for the word "Holocaust". The word "genocide"not invented until 1941, fits right in there. But none of those words bring us to the core of what those words truly represent. They are the by-product of the malevolent, hideous, and hate filled evil that consumes and takes control of certain human beings.

Doing God's Will for the Wrong Reasons
Doing God's Will for the Wrong Reasons
By none
It may seem a somewhat irreverent place in which to pray, but I have more genuine prayers and conversations with God in my car when I’m driving to and from work. I drive through a vast expanse of farmland, forest, and countryside during this time which provides for peaceful, thoughtful moments. One morning as I was driving, I was also reflecting on my life.

Why I'm Glad We Waited
Why I'm Glad We Waited
By Shannon Whitmore
Our culture largely assumes that it is impossible for a couple to wait until they are married before having sex. There is an understanding among most modern young adults that a serious relationship requires sexual intimacy, that a relationship that involves sexual intimacy is deeper than one that is lacking in this area.

Conquest or Collectively Benevolent Progress?
Conquest or Collectively Benevolent Progress?
By Joseph Michael
As Flannery O’Connor once wrote, “anyone who has survived childhood has enough material to write about for the rest of his life.” We each have unique childhood experiences as a result of our varied upbringings and family lives.

Jesus always knew he was Divine
Jesus always knew he was Divine
By Kathy Lamb
These comments, in our missalette, from today’s gospel, Matthew 15: 21-28, bothered me. I might have just wondered about it and let it go but because of a discussion I had with my sister, Helen, I wanted to explore this more.

God Speaks
God Speaks
By Mariel Roersma
Last Wednesday, I started the day off with Mass. And a part of the first reading really spoke to me. The verse from the Book of James says “So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin.”
