Entering Into His Throne Room
Entering Into His Throne Room
By Elizabeth Thomas
Every morning most of the world’s population have a daily ritual of going for a “morning constitutional.” We enter into the Throne Room for some daily ‘dumping’ of useless waste. As I headed there this morning, quickly after my cup of coffee, I was thinking this prayer. “Oh God, I am so thankful for a place to sit in solitude, that has a working flushing toilet, for I know others do

Transforming Prayer for Married Couples
Transforming Prayer for Married Couples
By James M. Littleton
If someone told you that there was something you could do for as little as five minutes per day to virtually assure that your marriage would last unto death, wouldn’t you do it? Well this is it! Pray together daily. Marriage is not a couple, but a trinity. The third person is God. We need to allow God to be an integral part of our marriage for it to be healthy.

Fifty Shades of Gross
Fifty Shades of Gross
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
They call it “Mommy Porn.” So, what does this mean? Mommies are nice. They are cuddly, nurturing, loving and sweet. They care for others and instill values of sharing and fairness; they teach their little ones right from wrong and give them a foundation on which the rest of their moral development will grow.

The Powerful Humility of Mothers
The Powerful Humility of Mothers
By James M. Littleton
God gives mothers whatever good they ask for their children. Why? Because they are humble. They are living signs of humility and only the humble are filled with God. Jesus also gifts mothers with a share of His sorrows and passion to be applied to the salvation of their children.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation to gether constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded.

Old Age: An Opportunity to Avoid Purgatory
Old Age: An Opportunity to Avoid Purgatory
By Bill Dunn
I know a senior citizen whose health is in rapid decline. This once vibrant man now struggles just to shuffle across the room with a walker. When he finally gets to a chair and sits down, he looks at me, shakes his head bitterly, and says, “Whatever you do, Bill, don’t get old.”

The Sin of Presumption and Abortion
The Sin of Presumption and Abortion
By Patricia Dlugosz
I am a sidewalk counselor trying to help women in crisis pregnancies to keep their babies. I was at the usual abortuary, the usual time and day of the week and I saw Barbara, (not real name), approaching the front door of the abortuary and I said, "I care about you, can we talk about what you are going through".

You Can Get Here From There: Part III -- A Protestant Excursion
You Can Get Here From There: Part III -- A Protestant Excursion
By Dean P. Johnson
I have a habit that is particularly annoying to my wife. When I’m in the car, I am constantly changing radio stations. Even when I hear a song that I like, I often wonder if I am missing something else better and hit the search button again.

Is That YOU God!!
Is That YOU God!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
While waiting for Mass to begin, a church bulletin lay in the bench in front of me and the lines from Psalm 34 stared upwards at my eyes. I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Look to Him that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may not blush with shame

Those Dang Franciscans!
Those Dang Franciscans!
By Nicholas Modelski
I'm sure you've heard folks say it before: "Well, you know, they are Franciscans..." Usually this is meant to explain a "liberal" view expressed by an individual or organization flying the banner of St. Francis, particularly one deemed overly poetic, artistic, naturalistic, or non-traiditional by the speaker. So, does being a Franciscan guarantee brainwashing and intiation into the Sacred Rites

The headlines and newscasts are filled with the news of President Obama's outrage over House Speaker John Boehner's invitation to Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak before the United States Congress in March.

Francis, On The Waterfront
Francis, On The Waterfront
By Mark Piper
With Pope Francis, every week, maybe two, there’s a blockbuster of an interview it seems. Or rather it seemed. Perhaps these blockbusters have been so frequent that they hardly seem to move the needle because, “he gave another interview!” has turned into “he gave another interview… so what.”

Walking With Jake
Walking With Jake
By Elizabeth Thomas
In the last year of our dog’s life, he had become both deaf and blind. But oh did he still love to take a walk with you, sniffing, smelling and checking out whatever his nose led him to. Many were the times as I walked in the quiet of the morning, he was right there besides me.

Yes, Virginia, There is a God
Yes, Virginia, There is a God
By Michelle Watkins
Recently I read a column in a newspaper with a comment from an atheist on the protective nature of God. He questioned the faith of churchgoers who felt compelled for the need of professional security in school or church settings. He inquired why they, the people of faith, didn’t believe God would protect them from violence

The Pro-Life Position and the Death Penalty
The Pro-Life Position and the Death Penalty
By Rosemary Bogdan
Why is there so little agreement among pro-lifers and those who oppose the death penalty? My godson did an Eagle Scout project at the local prison in Missouri where he lives. As part of the project he became acquainted with an inmate on death row. The man had committed a heinous crime. My godson’s father, interested in writing about the death penalty, developed a relationship with this man and

What is Freedom?
What is Freedom?
By Kathy Wilmes
Recent events in Paris have compelled me to think, share, and write my thoughts about the word freedom. What exactly is freedom? How should we, as a Catholic Christian people use our freedoms in a society in which, increasingly, everything we say or do can be categorized under some form of freedom?
