Catholic Warning: Children are from outer space.
By Christy Breedlove
I have extremely...uhm...lucky...to have taught kindergarten catechism for a few years. For those who have never tried teaching complex Catholic dogma to a group of 15 five year old children, I will, in my own limited way, describe what insanity follows.

Pray For The Lost
Pray For The Lost
By Mariel Roersma
I've noticed something when I've gone to Mass. Sometimes death turns people away from God. A person loses their loved one and they don't come back to Church. And I'm not sure why that is. But I am sure about what to do for those people, and that is pray.

Answers to a Non-Catholic
By Mike Bugal
I participate in several Catholic pages on Facebook. One of them is the page “Catholic Fundamentalism”. The author, whose name I don’t know, mostly attacks Evangelical Christianity/Protestantism. As a result, of course, the page attracts a lot of attention from non-Catholics as well as some fairly well versed Catholic brothers and sisters.

Preparing for Lent
Preparing for Lent
By Linda Kracht
Lent is a solemn Liturgical Season designed by the Church to draw us closer to the Lord. As we enter Lent, let’s reflect on Matthew 27:46: “My God, My God why have you abandoned me?” [Matthew 27:46] A few verses later, Matthew writes that Jesus “cries out again with a loud voice and then yielded up His Spirit.” [Matthew [27:60]

Giving Up Facebook for Lent
Giving Up Facebook for Lent
By Starla Hester
The most known vices that Catholics give up are sweets, caffeine, and beer. Although these can bring you to your knees in prayer (I thought I was going to die one year abstaining from caffeine), the greatest vice of this day and age is social media, particularly for me, Facebook.

The Temptation To Compare: A Lie From The Beginning
The Temptation To Compare: A Lie From The Beginning
By Elizabeth Hoyle
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like comparison is a huge temptation these days. I know it is for me. By comparison, I’m talking about the tendency to look at someone else’s life or gifts and feel sad, upset, or even to fall into despair that you do not have the same kinds of gifts or talents that that someone has.

Are you Fallen Away
By Lorrie McNickle

Things Happen for a Reason
By Michelle Nicholl
A couple weeks ago, I went to the church my son and his family attend and I’m always pleased when the visiting Monsignor gives his homilies. Over the years I’ve come to enjoy and learn a lot from them.

Greatness
Greatness
By Robert Louis Rodriguez
Looking out into the world with my brokenness within. Invisible sins that I don't have to hide as I go inside to pray, checking my demons at the door to await my return. The plank in my own eye now looks old, just sitting there for so many years.

I am the crowd
I am the crowd
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
I am the crowd that cried ‘Crucify Him’. I am the crowd that demanded the release of a prisoner – a thief and robber – instead of the one who healed me...who fed me....who loved me and died for me.

"Love one another as I have loved you" - IMPOSSIBLE
"Love one another as I have loved you" - IMPOSSIBLE
By Victor S E Moubarak
When Christ hung dying on the Cross, despite His earlier betrayal, arrest, humiliation, beatings and torture; despite suffering the most painful of death and being taunted and tormented by His enemies, He still had love in His heart and asked for forgiveness on behalf of these people.

The Beauty of Bobo Doll Disciples
The Beauty of Bobo Doll Disciples
By Peter Casella, PhD
I’m not a pious person. I don’t know if that’s good or bad; it just is. I’m just a regular guy and I’m okay with that. Even so, I still listen when the spirit gives me a nudge.

Marriage, Love and Shattered Glass...
By Carlos Espinosa
"At least you didn't break the wine bottles," my wife said in an irritated tone. "Well, I guess, I did something right," I answered coyly, after shattering a glass punch bowl with the seat of our car when I slid it back to get behind the wheel. The four bottles of wine next to it were not touched!
