What Are You Thankful For? The Positive Side of Counting Our Blessings.
By James Berkon
I know, I know. It sounds like something your grandparents, mother or father would say to you at the worst possible moment. Everyone has those days where they want to go home, grab a drink and throw in the towel or sulk in front of the TV.

May the Dragon Soon be Chained, Revisited: A Shorter Version

Sustaining Providence With Promises
By Prof. Anthony Maranise, Obl.S.B.
Though I have previously written about “divine providence” in the Catholic spiritual life before, the meaning of the term is worth revisiting. The Dominican theologian, Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, in his scholarly work on providenc,e defines and elaborates upon it thusly: “Divine Providence is God’s intervention in the world, particularly in the lives of His human creation.”

More Bars in More Places
By Barbara Golder
In the course of discussing--of all things--the Confession of St. Augustine, a friend described the spiritual life as being like a cell phone. The more open we are to reception, the more we receive; and if we wander off into a cell-hole, reception gets bad.

Advent: The Nativity & The Second Coming
By Charlie Johnston
Advent, the English translation of the Latin word adventus meaning "coming", is often thought of as the time leading up to the birth of Christ. While this is right, it is only half right.

Spiritual Numbness
By Mary Kathryn Ahlberg
You know that feeling you get when you don't feel right? Like, you're just, off. Almost like you don't have an opinion about much and nothing really seems that great to you. You aren't mad, you aren't sad, and you aren't happy. You're just numb. You know that feeling, right?

The Cheerio and the Sacred Heart of Jesus
By Eric Wojtkun
I cleaned up the mess of a 15 month old boy's self instruction in the art of eating, only to find an hour later I missed one more little crumb maker in a corner of the kitchen. I used to get mad at messes like this, but over the last year I've chilled out a lot.

Parties are organised, presents are bought, sermons are prepared and buying the food for the Christmas meal is already being done. All this to bring joy to the world by remembering of the birth of Jesus.

Why the Immaculate Conception Matters
By Rob Agnelli
Throughout the history of the Church, the challenge to orthodoxy of heretical teachings has always brought with it the fruit of a development in doctrine. Nearly every dogmatic definition has come when a particular teaching was challenged. At first glance however, the feast that we celebrate today, the Immaculate Conception, appears to be an exception to this rule.

Our Lady of Kibeho – Marian Apparitions in Rwanda & The Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary
By Frank J. Maduri
The Marian apparitions in Rwanda just marked the 35th anniversary since Our Lady of Kibeho first visited with adolescents on November 28, 1981. The main messages of Our Lady in Rwanda were very similar to that of her other apparitions: a call to prayer, conversion of sinners, warnings about the evil in the world, a prediction of coming war and violence, and to love God as well as our neighbor.

Evidently Catholic
By Barbara Golder
One of my random memories of childhood is meeting a friend of my parents who was Catholic. I must have been five or six at the time, and the only Catholics I knew were my neighbors, the Murphys.

Christmas and a Homeless Man Named Charles
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
Long, stringy, unkept hair framed his down-turned face as he sat sleeping on the Walmart bench. His ragged, dirty clothes hung loosely so that his size was masked. A hand of fresh bananas laying beside him, someone had taken pity and left the small meal for his discovery when he awoke.
