Make America Great--as "One Nation Under God" !

Power, Women and Mary
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder

Dive In, to the Deep, Head First!
By Lorrie McNickle
It amazes me how many of us are jeopardizing our salvation, how many of us ‘Catholics” are risking our eternal souls. Some of us are living lives in states of grave sin because we are rationalizing and relativizing what sin is, and isn’t.

A Closer look at the Beatutides
By Kathy Lamb
Last Sunday at Mass we were singing “Blest Are They,” by David Haas, a Beatitude song. I saw the lyrics coming up “Blest are they the pure of heart for they shall see their God.” I barely started to sing these words when I became so emotional that I started to cry.

What a man looks for in a woman
