Fight, Run, Hide or Stand Still?
Fight, Run, Hide or Stand Still?
By Melanie Jean Juneau
The secret to authentic interior freedom goes against every fiber of our being. The answer to every crisis, every threat we will face in our lives on earth, is to stand still and trust. Mind you not to hide, or sit passively but to stand tall, facing threats. Easier said than done.

Addressing Issues of Life from the Pulpit
By Patti J. Mitchell
The release of the Planned Parenthood undercover videos has made a significant impact in the eyes of some pro-choice proponents and provides another opportunity for our pastors to address the subject of abortion from the pulpit. Unfortunately, there are many parish priests that continue to steer clear of the topic.

Knowledge is Power?

Our God is Non-Negotiable
Our God is Non-Negotiable
By Brett M Petillo
It is always interesting to me when I hear Christians talk about God in a way that makes Him seem like we have some sort of a choice about who He is and what He commands. For example, just last week I was teaching a class at my parish on growing in the Holy Spirit and one of the interactions led down the road of the death penalty.

Euthanasia - Celebrating the Destruction of God's Greatest Gift - Life
Euthanasia - Celebrating the Destruction of God's Greatest Gift - Life
By Larry Peterson
Euthanasia (aka assisted suicide), is a pathetic concept promoted under the guise of compassion, mercy and kindness. It is no such thing. Euthanasia is not compassionate. It is not merciful. And---it is not kind. It is an abomination because it celebrates the destruction of the greatest gift each and everyone of us has been given by God, the gift of life

The Atheist
The Atheist
By E.M. Wilson
I came across this quote today from avowed atheist Dan Baker which states, "Asking 'if there is no God, what is the purpose of life?' is like asking 'if there is no master, whose slave will I be?'

Do I Expect My Typical Children to be Responsible for my Special Needs Children?

The Domestic Church in the Global Village
The Domestic Church in the Global Village
By Michele Szekely
The domestic church is the family. It is the faith-life of the family. It is this invisible structure made of the love between each family member and between them and God. It is resting on the visible members of the family, but it is being nourished by the invisible energy of grace.

Fight or Die: What it means to be a Catholic Man
By Randal Schmidt
Recently I was asked to sit on a panel for a new class of catechumens beginning RCIA in my local parish. The panel was discussing the question, “What does it mean to be a Catholic?” I had previously been on this same panel a year before, and at that time, I had answered this question in terms of my then-recent conversion.

Are Your Lights On?
Are Your Lights On?
By Caroline Godin
A while back, before daytime running lights on cars, people used to flash their lights or let you know if your lights were on in the daytime. It was a, “hey, don’t turn your car off and let your battery die,” kind of warning. The commercial showed a driver’s view of other cars slamming their brakes after noticing him last minute.

Why Did Pope Francis Meet with the Lawbreaker Kim Davis?
By Arnold Scott
The visit of Pope Francis to the United States was one of the biggest media stories in a long time. Given how few members of the media are actually observant Catholics, what explains all the glorious attention and reverence he has received?
