God Uses Our Nature for His Purposes
God Uses Our Nature for His Purposes
By Dean P. Johnson

The Redeeming Work of the Holidays
The Redeeming Work of the Holidays
By Mary Ann Gambill
This work, family redemption, comes at a heavy price, often dipping into the pockets of what we thought family meant in the first place. In my early married years we would go to his parents house or mine. We would make the rounds. I would make a dish sometimes, but most of the time, we only brought ourselves, presents, and the one or two children that we had way back then.

The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
The Church and Authority: Part 4 Petrine Primacy (The Pope)
By Kevin Noles
There may be no bigger contention between Catholics and Protestants, besides maybe salvation, than the doctrine of the Pope. There are many different arguments against the Pope from Protestants such as “Petros only means pebble” or “Peter was never in Rome.” Unfortunately my desire to keep each article short (about 1,000 words) does not give me a lot of room to cover each issue,

Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
By Dean P. Johnson
As we are made in God’s image, we are called to do the same. But what does this mean? As a parent, I have been upset with a child, but of course still tend to their needs, their comfort. That’s easy. But what of others outside of our families? Do we have compassion for those who have wronged us? And not just for those who may have wronged us personally, but those who we see on the news

Peace and Joy Possible in This World, Too
Peace and Joy Possible in This World, Too

War On Women?
War On Women?
By Linda Kracht
We hear often enough that a war is being waged against women in the United States. Yet, war (the noun) is defined as the state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. That definition makes it hard to continue arguing that a war is being waged against US women. For who is the provocateur; when did it start and why;

The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
The Church and Authority: Part 3 Apostolic Succession in the Church
By Kevin Noles
Whenever I talk about Apostolic Authority the typical response is something along the lines of “I believe in God’s authority not an authority coming from a man.” The nature of the Church’s authority is indeed God but a better way to ask this question may be to ask how the authority was given.

The Devil is Winning, and We are Paving his Way
The Devil is Winning, and We are Paving his Way
By Lorrie McNickle
The Devil is winning. He is becoming stronger and taking hold of this world. We are not even putting up a fight. We cave so easily because of our fear and lack of trust in God. We fail to act with mercy and compassion and instead exude a spirit of hatred, intolerance and bigotry toward our brothers and sisters in need.

The Golden Rule On The Job
The Golden Rule On The Job
By John C. Connell
The Golden Rule. We can all repeat it to others, and we are quick to point out when it is not used, but how much conscious effort do we spend trying to apply it on the job?

Four Weeks Before Christmas-Advent
Four Weeks Before Christmas-Advent
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
For much of my life, the four weeks before Christmas were jam packed with parties, mostly work related and therefore obligatory, shopping excursions to unearth novel gifts for people who did not need them. And making plans for a much needed vacation when the week of Christmas and New Year's finally arrived.

Our body is a temple of God
Our body is a temple of God
By Tess Shore
We feel that we are being judged by our peers. We think we are being judged because we are not "good enough Catholics". However, somehow we are placing all this pressure on ourselves that we sometimes end up caving into the pressures of demoralizing our bodies by committing suicide.
