I have post partum depression. And that's ok.
By Catherine Garrett
Three days ago I was diagnosed with post partum depression (PPD). I was prescribed medication because PPD is an actual medical diagnosis that requires treatment. Part of that treatment includes getting counseling. What I was completely unaware of, was just how long depression and anxiety were controlling my life, my words, and my actions.

Daily dependence on Holy Spirit gives fruit
By Rose Cuervo
I was able to have a Secondary Traumatic Stress handout from colleagues doing child fatality reviews. It mentions that because the toll of abused children are over 10 million, the people caring for them in the familial, social, pastoral and medical spheres will inevitably get to listen to trauma stories that will bring about PTSD-like responses and yield if not in some compassion fatigue ...

Rescue Drive
By Victor S E Moubarak
Jack lived a few yards down the road from St Vincent Church, just the other side of the Convent.

Human dignity in its fullest recognizes humanity as made in the image and likeness of God.
Human dignity in its fullest recognizes humanity as made in the image and likeness of God.
By Troy Kroening
This reality truly puts humanity upon a pedestal. Not that we put ourselves there, but that we recognize that God put us there. With that comes great responsibility. If we are to respect, honor, and love God, are we not to do likewise for the image and likeness of God? One cannot expose a love for Jesus and diminish, destroy, or deny a picture of Jesus, the beloved.

The Necessity of Regular Confession and Dependence on God's Mercy
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
Confession is something that boggles the minds of many. Often the question comes up, “If we can confess our sins directly to God, then what need have we for Confession, for the Sacrament of Reconciliation?” – the question is not only asked by Protestants, but Catholics also.

He Died without Mercy
He Died without Mercy
By E.M. McCarthy
I haven't wanted a room without a view, and yet I'm in this claustrophobic attic surrounded by the past relics of bygone years. Shame on death for linking me to this world when I was too young to die. I could have done exceptional things had I survived the dip in the river last September.
