The Labyrinth of Life - A Reflection
The Labyrinth of Life - A Reflection
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Even though life may seem hard, with no direction at times, remember that even if we feel we have lost our way, we only need to turn to God to ask Him to lead and guide us by His Holy Spirit, because He has the full picture, and the map to show us the right direction, according to His Will and His plan for us. Trust in God, and Seek Him at all times!

Forgiveness in a non-forgiving world
Forgiveness in a non-forgiving world
By Tess Shore
Every day, especially in America, people are condemned for crimes that they commit or do not commit. We can talk about the big crimes of violence which may make the person end up in prison. However, this article is going to be about forgiving the crimes that do not constitute the legal system getting involved.

Being a Catholic
Being a Catholic
By Tess Shore
While waiting for Daily Mass to begin and praying for world peace, it dawned on me that we all think it is easier to blame the scapegoat. So the question then becomes, if we are supposed to be Christ-like everyday and even though we are tempted by the devil, why do we blame everyone else and not take responsibility for our own actions?

Separate Yourself
Separate Yourself
By Nathan James Rawlins
Our lives are filled with confusion. Our technology and our material possessions only contribute to this confusion. These cell phones and computers, they keep us from each other. Despite the claims of Facebook and the other Social Media Trends, this technology has not served to bring us closer together.

Sharing Our Faith
Sharing Our Faith
By Crysaly Aviles
Ever get together with other Christian siblings that you haven’t seen in a while and when you come together it’s like your faith is completely renewed simply by being in their company? I swear, it’s true! This past holiday, I spend the weekend with fellow college students from several years back. We went to seminary together and eventually became good friends.

Baptism: Part 3 Infant Baptism
Baptism: Part 3 Infant Baptism
By Kevin Noles
An early practice of Baptism was infant baptism. Some people find that the argument for infant Baptism is an argument from silence. The same can be said about believers Baptism. There is no passage of Scripture that tells us that infants cannot be baptized. This argument comes from Nick Kuhns, who adheres to the Methodist theology ...

Justice Without Rights?
By Michael D. Greaney
In “A Call to Virtue,” an article in the May 18, 2015 issue of the Jesuit magazine America, Vatican adviser Jeffrey Sachs made the following statement: Pope Francis has declared that the joy of the Gospel can help the world to overcome the globalization of indifference to others.

On Pope Francis' favourite words, "Joy and Mercy"...
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Recently, we had our Apostolic Nuncio come and celebrate Mass in the parish. In his homily after the Gospel, he drew our attention to a couple of very important words used by Pope Francis, “Joy” and “Mercy”. While preaching to us, he informed us of the importance of becoming a Church to advocate these two qualities, sharing the Joy of Christ and the Mercy of Christ with others.

How Come You Catholics believe the fairy tale called Purgatory?
How Come You Catholics believe the fairy tale called Purgatory?
By Bill Dunn
How come you Catholics believe in the fairy tale called Purgatory? That word is not even in the Bible, and yet you Catholics say that God gets a kick out of torturing people before letting them into Heaven. The whole idea is just a medieval invention by the Vatican, designed to trick people into paying money to the Church to relieve the suffering of their deceased loved ones.

#LoveWins?
#LoveWins?
By Lora Wilson
The hashtag #LoveWins is being used online to express approval of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on marriage. Given the insulting rhetoric on both sides of this issue, it's hard to see victory or anything resembling God's law of love.

What are little boys made of?
By Sherry Kenner
My twenty-three-year-old son came home the other day following the Bruce Jenner interview and made me smile. He asked, “Hey Mom, as a woman don’t you find it offensive that Bruce Jenner can put on a dress and makeup and call himself a woman?” I smiled because I knew my son gets it. He is not fooled by media hype and the society push for a genderless world.

Is Gay Ok?
Is Gay Ok?
By Anne Marty
The issue of same sex marriage is now before the United States Supreme Court. Ireland has already accepted same sex marraige and I assume the USA will not be far behind. Currently, the constitution will change if it is accepted. All the states in the nation will then have to accept same sex marriage. There have been major protests by the public but this will no longer matter.

A Swift Kick in the Butt to Parents (And Invitation to Turn IT Around)
By Greg Schlueter
We labor for the kind of house that makes it impossible for it to ever be a home. We celebrate pregnancy long enough to deliver them predominantly to the care of another. In the name of our expensive education. In their name "boredom" or "unfulfilled."

Baptism: Part 2 Saved in Baptism
Baptism: Part 2 Saved in Baptism
By Kevin Noles
The Catholic asks the Protestant, “Does Baptism save us?” The Protestant replies, “No.” The Catholic then turns to the only authority that the Protestant yields to, which is Holy Scripture, and that says yes (1 Peter 3:21). Instead of yielding to Holy Scripture as they claim, they instead are yielding to man-made traditions, those that are actually condemned by Jesus, instead of the Word of God

The Real Supreme Court.
The Real Supreme Court.
By Greg Schlueter
Nature. We didn't determine it. It has determined us. It is not a matter of religious adherence, only regard for what is undeniably true, and common sense. No argument surpasses the one the body has already made: Same sex bodies simply don't fit together, nor can their sexual processes accomplish what they are undeniably designed to accomplish

Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner--What Are We To Make of All This?
By Rosemary Bogdan
I have to say that the entire transgender issue has been quite a mystery to me for a long time. I've done a lot of reading about it lately. My heart does go out to those people who are suffering in this way. It seems to me that this issue is most likely a psychological issue, rather than biological, but in either case, these are people who are hurting and very distressed. I pray that they can fin
