The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
The Human Feelings of Jesus our Lord
By Helen Mac
The Holy Spirit can do wondrous things and sometimes when we least expect it. It was the week leading up to Annual Leave for 7 days; a break from work and from a ridiculously busy schedule, so hectic that I felt as if I was being run ragged.

Endeavors and Trust
Endeavors and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
You can easily walk on a foot-wide beam at ground level, but you may quail at the very thought of doing it one hundred stories up in a skyscraper under construction, as steeplejacks do. It isn’t the width of the beam that makes it difficult; it’s the height of the beam from the ground. Similarly, our outlook on many things is not objective, but contingent on circumstances.

A Dilemma; Choices We Must Make!
A Dilemma; Choices We Must Make!
By Ralph Hathaway
From my autobiography, which I named “Chosen by God”, there is one incident that became the most ardent event before and during my ministry as a deacon. I have always been pro-life in my thoughts and actions, and it hurts to see so much deliberate and insensitive thrusts towards all life, from womb to grave.

False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
False Teachings by a Site Called "A True Church"
By Kevin Noles
I was reading through the comments section of one of the articles awhile ago on here and a commentator left his (or maybe a preferred) website as their comment. They did not say anything other than leaving the site address, but I decided to have a look anyway.

God-focus and Trust
God-focus and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
In a teaching given to sixteen thousand people on the virtue of trust (October 23, 2002), Pope John Paul II showed how in any expression of trust in God there is an implied derivative effect; it’s vetted in the cry of David in Psalm 86:11.

What's In a Fiat?
What's In a Fiat?
By Anne Gerard
As a frequent listener to the EWTN radio program, Women of Grace, I hear the host, Johnnette Benkovic, use the word “fiat” quite often. Not fully comprehending its meaning, I was puzzled by the phrase. In my experience, Fiat has always evoked the image of a sporty little car we may see zipping around town. Apparently, spiritually speaking, it means so much more.

Euthanasia; What's Next?
Euthanasia; What's Next?
By Ralph Hathaway
This might be the most challenging reflection I have attempted to write about and certainly the most provocative piece of current-day discussions posed by many in the field of medicine, church, families of dying loved ones, and those who are the recipients of end-of-life decisions.

Politics, Principalities and Powers
Politics, Principalities and Powers
By Greg Schlueter
I voted Trump. I do not wave a flag for Trump. Trump is flawed. As are we. Trump has to deal with very imperfect circumstances. As do we. We recognize and accept that perfection is the realm of sainthood; politics, the realm of the greatest good possible. We are not on team conservative. We're not on team liberal. We're on team humanity.

The Truth About Purgatory and Indulgences
The Truth About Purgatory and Indulgences
By Ken Litchfield
To understand the Catholic teaching on Purgatory and Indulgences first we have to understand how a person is saved. Protestants believe in the imputed righteousness through Jesus’ finished sacrifice on the cross. The Catholic Church also teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross provided sufficient Grace for everyone to be saved.

Nature's Supernatural Delight
Nature's Supernatural Delight
By Linda Kracht
Who would have guessed that a 1972 singles hit composed and performed by King Harvest, a rock band, and an astronaut would both provide support for this article on nature’s SuperNatural Delight? Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest was one of my favorite tunes back in the 70’s. Did any of us get the significance of the lyrics back then?

Yes, God Communes With Infants
Yes, God Communes With Infants
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Theoretically, we all readily concede that the Mercy of God is available to everyone, from the richest to the poorest, from the most educated to the illiterate, from adults to small children. Since God is omnipresent, this means everyone on the entire planet is free to commune with Him at the same time because He can be fully present to each soul instantaneously.

Commitment and Trust
Commitment and Trust
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Mythmakers of ancient England described a monster in the shape of an emaciated cow called “Chichevache” that ate nothing but faithful wives. The British let that bit of lore fade away as silly, but the Irish menfolk, who kept a tight rein on their wives, couldn’t relinquish the myth that provided a bit of long-lived Irish humor. They claimed the old cow finally starved to death.
