God's Shepherd's Are Always There For Us
By Michelle Nicholl
Today I had the opportunity to meet with a fellow friend and parishioner that I don’t often have the opportunity to sit down and talk with, and during our visit, we got on the subject of “Priests”.

Jesus did not want to give you some of His love, He wanted to give you ALL of His love.
Jesus did not want to give you some of His love, He wanted to give you ALL of His love.

I looked on the One my sins pierced and it completely changed my Confession
By Trish Irvine
Generally, when I begin to pray the Act of Contrition in Confession, I close my eyes. I prefer to go behind the screen, and I like to close my eyes so I can focus on the words.

Chernobyl Diaper. Parental Joy. Fatherly Purpose.
By Greg Schlueter
Our Amazing Gracie had a "gift." Along with every other parent of two years olds on the planet, we were eager to get her potty trained. As were the garbage men. We were losing neighbors. The ozone was depleting. Al Gore was calling. You get the idea.

The Over-Salted Generation
By Caroline Godin
This generation salts their food. The phrase echoes in my mind randomly. I might be thinking of the human race, the movement of people’s spirituality, the way some people can’t eat a thing without salt… it echoes. This generation salts their food.

Humor and Laughter in the Christian Life
Humor and Laughter in the Christian Life
By Jonathan Hayes
‘Humor’ is not a word that is usually associated with Christianity. ‘Traditional’, ‘serious’, ‘somber’, ‘joyful’, ‘intellectual’, ‘religious’, ‘conservative’ and so on: all of these words and more, whether accurate or not, have been used by both Christians and non-Christians as descriptions of the Faith.

The Human Element in the Eucharistic Miracle

The family unit has been under increased pressure from society and so many families have accounts of sadness, conflict, and are on the verge of disintegration. The recent homilies from Pope Francis center around the 100th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Fatima and the revelation that Mary told the children there that the final battle with the devil will center on the family.
