Why God Did Not Care That Scalia Was a Supreme Court Justice: Celebrating a Life of Public Faith
Why God Did Not Care That Scalia Was a Supreme Court Justice: Celebrating a Life of Public Faith
By Justin McClain
Before we advance any further, it is worth asserting that the title of this article should not be construed, in the least, as placing into question the merits of Scalia’s role within public service vis-à-vis the scope of his veritable destiny, celestial or otherwise. In fact, the intent is quite the opposite,

We Are Useless Servants?
We Are Useless Servants?
By David R. Myers
I admit that I have found the Gospel passage from Luke which instructs the disciples to refer to themselves as being “useless servant” a bit puzzling during my life. It has taken me years of hearing it again and again, reading it again and again, for some of the sense to sink through my dense cranium. But I have some insights I would like to share to any who might be puzzling over the same section

"I Thirst" A Lenten Reflection on Terri Schiavo
"I Thirst" A Lenten Reflection on Terri Schiavo
By Norman Fulkerson
It is a yearly custom for Catholics to reflect, during Lent, on the Passion and death of our Divine Savior. He was entirely innocent of wrongdoing, yet was ignominiously subjected to a show trial and condemned to a brutally painful death. This year many Catholics will also be thinking of the strikingly similar demise of an innocent woman named Theresa Marie Schiavo

From BUSY to BLESSED: IGNITING your Family and Parish
From BUSY to BLESSED: IGNITING your Family and Parish
By Greg Schlueter
How might we breach this chasm between momentary conviction and real, life-commitment? How might we re-engage those who've simply given up, or even engage those who are MIA? Here's my take. Please feel free to join in your comments.

What's A Parent To Do?
What's A Parent To Do?
By Linda Kracht
We’ve all heard or used the phrase — time is money … gotta get going; time doesn’t wait. How about this phrase: time’s ticking and I have so much to do. Many of us live the rush hour from the time we get up until the time we retire at night. Some keep going even then.

Youth Ministry Shouldn't Be What It Used To Be
Youth Ministry Shouldn't Be What It Used To Be
By Dan Goddu
I answered the call to youth ministry from the pastor of my former parish back in 1990. I tried to meet kids where they were at by organizing youth group meetings, planning fun events, holding retreats, and by just listening. At the time, Holy Hour, Eucharistic Adoration, the Sacrament of Confession, and the Rosary were far from my planning worksheets.

Pride vs the Humility of Pope Francis
Pride vs the Humility of Pope Francis
By Larry Peterson
Pope Francis, without trying and by just being who God made him to be, wears the mantle of humility without fanfare, showmanship, pretentiousness or anything that might be self-serving in any manner.

Malthus' Twisted Logic and The Denial of Womanhood
Malthus' Twisted Logic and The Denial of Womanhood
By Jennifer Edwards
This week, the CDC issued a recommendation that women of childbearing age should stop drinking alcohol unless they’re contracepting. Too much alcohol consumption is bad for a developing fetus. Of course. Duh. But what is riling the feathers of women from every political persuation is the pile of twisted underlying assumptions. Is this yet another manifestation of the “blame the woman” mentality?

Courage, Play the Man
Courage, Play the Man
By Norman Fulkerson
Religious persecution is a frequent topic of discussion in our country and for good reason. The mere mention of Kim Davis and the Little Sisters of the Poor, is sufficient to conjure up images of a heavy handed bureaucracy and unjust laws that brook no restraint.

Healing & Hope: Jesus The Redeemer
Healing & Hope: Jesus The Redeemer
By Frank J. Maduri
In between working on a number of writing projects and following up on some meetings I had in recently with potential writing clients in my local area, I paused for my daily devotion to praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy at 3 PM. In addition, I follow the Chaplet up with the Stations of the Cross and some other prayers.

Biblical Heroes Answer the Call
Biblical Heroes Answer the Call
By Bill Dunn
In the Scripture readings at Mass for the weekend of February 6th and 7th, we get an interesting look at three of the greatest heroes in the entire Bible. The first reading describes the call of Isaiah, arguably the most important prophet in Israel’s history. Hundreds of years before the fact, Isaiah wrote numerous messianic prophesies, all pointing toward the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Christ the Judge in a World of Noise
Christ the Judge in a World of Noise
By Eric Wojtkun
The world is full of man-made noise. Noise, sounds and vibrations with no Godly organization, only serve to distract us from our ingrained mission of finding and loving the Lord. This means if we want to draw ourselves to the Lord, we must through force of will, ignore the world's noise so our souls can make music in harmony with God's intended design for the world.

Suffering: Where's the Justice?
Suffering: Where's the Justice?
By Veronica Dannemiller
Why does God let good things happen to “bad” people and let “good” people suffer? I don't have all the answers, but I do know this - “good” people suffer, but so do “bad” people. And “bad” people prosper, but so do “good” people. We just notice more when good things are happening to a “bad” person and it's a “good” person suffering.

"Grim Grinning Ghosts" and the Resurrection of the Body
"Grim Grinning Ghosts" and the Resurrection of the Body
By Sinclair Cushmore
Any other Catholics out there enjoy a good “haunted house” attraction? Of course I don’t lean toward anything occult, but I enjoy some spooky fun pointed at the supernatural (and that includes morally appropriate Halloween celebrations). Being a Disney fan, my favorite thing to do when I enter Disney World is to stop by the Haunted Mansion. You could say I am a “die hard” Haunted Mansion fan!

Outside the Church there is no salvation
Outside the Church there is no salvation
By Kevin Noles
Catholics believe that The Church is visible, spiritual and founded by Jesus. This is a mystery of the faith. The Word of God tells us this otherwise there would be no way to understand this through reason. If we were to say that there is no salvation outside Jesus, all Christians, Catholics included, would agree.

A Moving Story. An Open Letter to Iowans. (Why Marco Rubio)
By Greg Schlueter
My grandparents and parents hail from Dubuque in the wonderful state of Iowa. They have ingrained in us the hardworking, faith, family, and self-less values that have made us the "difference makers" we are-- values that find their roots in Iowa.

Getting Personal: On Money and Mission
Getting Personal: On Money and Mission
By Greg Schlueter
I know speaking of money matters is generally taboo. Private and sensitive. Nonetheless, I'm moved to share this as encouragement to many of you whom I know are beleaguered by the weight of money matters. Who perhaps lie awake, haunted by crippling fear. Who do not feel like you're able to do what you're most meant to do.
