Finding the Lord in the Storm
By Carmen Lappe
I first began to feel the nudge of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment shortly after the birth of my son, Damien. I had just returned to work from maternity leave and was anxious to get back into the rhythm of my job. On my first day back, I tackled stacks of emails, invoices, and filing. I caught up with my boss, the seminarians I was supporting in my role, and other employees in the building. Afte

Modern Day Sainthood
By Caroline Godin
Never has any other faith group in the history of humanity had as many role models as the Catholic Church.

Distracted while praying?
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
If you struggle with being distracted while praying, there is good news. You are not alone. Many times, I have found myself praying the rosary and multiple things distract me. My phone rings, the dog barks, or my mind wanders to the plans for the day ahead. It does not matter if it is during Mass, praying the rosary, adoration, or just spending time alone with God, I have found one of satan’s most

Seek the heart of Man ... when ego's clash
By Stephen Clark
At any one time there seem to be dozens of conflicts going on throughout the world, in this hour there are civil wars in Tigray in Ethiopia, Yemen, Syria and lots of tension in other parts of the world. It made me wonder about how and why conflicts get out of control on such a regular basis.
