It's Possible To Love People Without Liking Them
It's Possible To Love People Without Liking Them
By Bill Dunn
There are many awesome teachings in Christian theology; true forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Heaven, just to name a couple. But the one teaching that’s had the biggest impact on my life is this: it is possible to love someone without necessarily liking him. I remember years ago when I first heard Jesus’ command: “Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.”

Poem to Christ
Poem to Christ
By Matthew Johnson
So a few things about this poem I need mentioning. It has the purpose of not rhyming, as it is more of a meditation prayer than a rhyming poem. I usually try not to rhyme my poems and with this one, it called for atypical penmanship.

"Big Brother" is Watching Everyone. What happened to God?
"Big Brother" is Watching Everyone. What happened to God?
By Larry Peterson
Surveillance is a lovely word. Derived from the French word, surveill, it flows harmlessly off the tongue. But what it means when it lands is anything but lovely. It means continuous observation of a place, person, group, or ongoing activity in order to gather information.

So You're a "Person of Faith" and "PRO-Choice"? Really? Which Faith?
So You're a "Person of Faith" and "PRO-Choice"? Really? Which Faith?
By Frank Lloyd
With the forty-first Anniversary of the “Roe vs. Wade” decision almost upon us, I am hoping someone might provide an answer to and clear up a question I’ve had for many years now. I often hear many of those who claim to be “people of Faith”, including some people that I deeply care for, say that they are “Pro-choice” and make declarations such as, “Although I’m against it, I would never IMPOSE

One of my favorite prayers Anima Christi tells exactly who Christ is to me: Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Dear Jesus, help me make decisions according to Your Word.

Journey
Journey
By Mallory Hoffman
She had taken the subway and two buses to get to where she was now, but she knew this trip was worth It. She hadn't taken any drugs or did any real drinking today, so she knew she was good. She had to meet these people, and she didn't want them to say "no" to her. It was really cold as she walked the streets to find her way to the church.

Little Wings From Above
Little Wings From Above
By Matthew Johnson
We all need a good Pro-Life message in this world, especially in the form of poetry. The premise of the poem is the parents seeing their newborn for the first time and having these precious thoughts as they hold their child who has just entered the world. Hope you like it!

End does not justify the means. What does this mean? The misunderstanding and misapplication.
End does not justify the means. What does this mean? The misunderstanding and misapplication.
By John Chan
The end doesn’t justify the means! As Catholics, we know this already. As per the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1756 It is therefore an error to judge the morality of human acts by considering only the intention that inspires them or the circumstances (environment, social pressure, duress or emergency, etc.) which supply their context.

Infallibility and What It Means

It's Not Stealing...if You Need it?
It's Not Stealing...if You Need it?
By Karl Erickson
There is no rationalization of "petty theft." If there is any theft, it's on the part of the employer by not paying their employee enough where they can't afford basic necessities. There's a world of difference between taking one roll of toilet paper in order to make it until the next paycheck comes in and taking a box of pens/paper just for the sake of taking them.

Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
By Larry Peterson
If there is one thing that is etched into my mind when I think back about the year of 2014 it is THE PICTURE. I am not trying to be graphic or shocking or anything like that. I am just trying to show how an innocent child can be brutally murdered on camera because she was born Christian, killed for propaganda purposes, and the outcry from the world is barely audible. I do not understand.

Christianity Under Attack: Religious Freedom Protects It. Without it Many Die. May God Bless and Preserve America's Freedoms
By Larry Peterson
Countless articles, essays, blogs and so forth will be in print as we welcome in the New year of 2015. I'm not going to reminisce or wallow in what might have been or what should be. I just want to mention a family to you. Maybe you have heard of them, maybe not. Their names were Magdy Tawfiq, his wife, Sahar Rizk ,and their daughters, Catherine, 13 and two younger girls aged 10 and aged 9.

Love Came Down
Love Came Down
By Tom Ponchak
It is said that when the Apostle John was living in Ephesus in his old age he would often address the church there with the same simple exhortation, “My little children, love one another.” The elders of the community, tired of hearing the same repeated message, would press John to share with the church some great insight about Jesus or being a disciple.

Duc In Altum: Put Into The Deep Discernment Retreat with Bishop Donald Hying
Duc In Altum: Put Into The Deep Discernment Retreat with Bishop Donald Hying
By John Paul Bender
This past weekend I went on a silent discernment retreat at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary. It had been quite a while since I had been on one. The retreat was called Duc In Altum, which literally means, to "put out into the deep" and although I didn't realize that it was a silent retreat when I signed up to go, it was exactly what I needed at this moment in my life.

On the Law
On the Law
By Crysaly Aviles
Did you know that to be separated from God all you have to do is break one of His commandments? It doesn’t matter which one. The question is not whether we have sinned against God? The real question is whether we are willing to change? In other words, repent. Many of us have struggled with the idea of being “sinners.”
