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.”

Sexual Assault - How to Respond?
Sexual Assault - How to Respond?
By Leslie Shaw Klinger
I believe one of the most difficult aspects of any discussion of the horror of sexual assault is talking about prevention of, or defense against, the assault itself.

‘The Grand Sez Who' Wreaking Havoc in Our Culture
‘The Grand Sez Who' Wreaking Havoc in Our Culture
By Bill Dunn
Some years ago I wrote an editorial column for a local newspaper, which explained the harmful effect of moral relativism on our culture. Moral relativism is the popular notion that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Instead, all moral values are merely personal opinions, and no one opinion should be judged as better or worse than another.

Fitting Harambe into Genesis
Fitting Harambe into Genesis
By Tony Crescio
As I am sure many of you know, recently a 3-year-old boy fell into a gorilla pen at a Cincinnati zoo where he met a 17-year-old Silverback Gorilla named Harambe. Responding to the situation, zoo authorities made the decision to put the animal down in order to save the boy’s life, which, given the gorilla’s power, could have been ended in an instant.

Harambe: What would Jesus do?
Harambe: What would Jesus do?
By Troy Kroening
Much talk about a gorilla killed to save a boy has been in the news. Normally, I try to stay out of the news, but I remembered this story from the Gospels and figured I would remind us of it.

Making God's Dreams Come True
Making God's Dreams Come True
By Tony Crescio
In his latest Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis has many beautiful things to say about the human person, but one thing in particular caught my eye, as I read through the text for the first time about a month ago. In paragraph 168 he writes: “Each child has a place in God’s heart from all eternity; once he or she is conceived, the Creator’s eternal dream comes true.”

Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
By Greg Schlueter
One may have reason to doubt the real power of Jesus Christ alive and present. 90% disappear after Confirmation. 75% of Catholics no longer attend Mass. Only 13% of Mass-going Catholics even pray before meals. Or, perhaps like the origin of just about every superhero, the power is there, we have it, but we have no idea what we have.

A Lack of Obedience

Who Said That? Who Said That?
By Elizabeth Thomas
You may have read my recent article “It’s Just a Flat Tire” and the story behind it. The final lesson that came from that experience was an ‘Insight’ more than lesson revealed.

A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
By Charlie Johnston
Every Pope was put into his position by God for a reason. Their primary job is to shepherd God's people, as Jesus told St. Peter "feed my lambs." (John 21:15-17) But there are also many things that God means to accomplish through His servants, and here on earth these reasons are sometimes obvious but other times they are not.

Judge Not...
By Joseph Michael
It is natural for young people to embrace things with zeal. Whether it be social and political opinions or religious fervor, youth lends itself to jumping into things with both feet. I was no different. During my college years, when so many of my friends were abandoning their faith, my Catholic faith took on a much more orthodox appearance.

Profound Truth in Simple Baltimore Catechism
Profound Truth in Simple Baltimore Catechism
By Bill Dunn
The old Baltimore Catechism asks this question: “Why did God make you?” The correct answer is: “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in the next.”

Kenosis
Kenosis
By Mike Morris
To be a parent is to be a participant in the contemplative experience. This is true despite one's capacity to recognize. A parent is engaged in a lifelong act of self giving. Of pouring oneself out for the needs of another. Contemplative prayer is a means to the same end. Although, the other in this context is often less tangible.

Of Bathrooms and Circuses
Of Bathrooms and Circuses
By Joseph Michael
I’ve been hesitant to comment on the ongoing bathroom gender debate that has been somewhat disproportionately dominating our national headlines, largely because I genuinely try to observe and digest all aspects of an issue before weighing in on it.

What to Think About When Praying the Rosary
By Crysaly Aviles
I love praying the Rosary, but my mind constantly wanders when I’m supposed to be contemplating the mysteries. To that end I have extended each mystery with added passages from our Catechism to think about when praying the Rosary

Jesus wants us to have the best things in life
Jesus wants us to have the best things in life
By Kathy Lamb
In the gospel Jesus spoke these words “…I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10 What does Jesus mean when he speaks of having an abundant life? Some are convinced this means that Jesus wants us to have all the best things life has to offer. He does! But some believe the best things in life are a fancy car, a mansion, millions of dollars, money to be able to do whatever
