He's Here!! She's Here!!
He's Here!! She's Here!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
HE’S HERE!!! SHE’S HERE!!! As the time passes, for me---signs are everywhere that Jesus may be returning SOON! As I listen to news or read headlines, and watch increasing suffering and problems---like the Psalmist David and Prophets of old---I also wonder “How long Lord, how long?”

The Miracle of Mercy
The Miracle of Mercy
By Nancy Marie Murray
Just recently, the World Youth Day celebration came to a close. The footage from Poland showed vibrant images of over a million young people from every nation worshiping Jesus Christ in freedom and joy. Poland, a country that faced brutal oppression and occupation first by the Nazis then by an atheistic Communist regime, was transformed. The dream of John Paul II is coming true.

At the Boundary of Doubt: Faith
At the Boundary of Doubt: Faith
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
In listening to snippets of conversations at the gym, after daily Mass or casual conversations with other vacationers here in Pismo Beach, I hear the same anxieties, doubts and fears.

Life, Piano, Love, Music.
Life, Piano, Love, Music.
By Robert Louis Rodriguez
Life for me is a lot like playing piano. Going from chord to chord requires me knowing where I am and where I want to go. The more I know, the easier I can make it for myself to get there, it also can make it much more fun and far less boring. I can also use combinations of chords to reflect how I feel, whether sad or happy, or better yet to set a mood,

Smile! God loves you!
Smile! God loves you!
By Troy Kroening
Though we may continually fall into sin, we still have an all-powerful God that loves us. Nothing we can do can stop Him from loving us. Indeed, we are not more powerful than God. He died to remove our sins, even those we are in the midst of. He is not going to cast us aside. Doing so, He would have to cast aside who He is.

Passing on Our Faith
Passing on Our Faith
By Catherine Garrett
Being a lifelong Catholic, I've gotten to experience a lot of things in my faith. I got to be one of the first girl altar servers at my parish. I've sung in the choir and folk group since I could open my mouth. I helped to teach younger kids in Sunday school when I was younger. I was able to take my faith with me to college.

God's Glorious Gift of Grace
God's Glorious Gift of Grace
By Kathy Lamb
On the bulletin board in the old school building at church, I saw a poster on which these words were written “Year of Grace 2014.” It made me start to think about Grace, how good it is that God gives us Grace and how much God loves us. I thought about how extremely important Grace is to us, so I decided to talk to you about the holy gift of Grace.

How Easy It Is To Give In To Anger
How Easy It Is To Give In To Anger
By Anthony Stine
Anger is not the opposite of love but a manifestation of something much darker, a manifestation of pride that distorts our senses and drives a wedge between us and everything we love. Worse, anger is the stealthiest sin, as it worms its way into our hearts and steals our God-given grace long before we realize it.

Is it OK to Clap at Mass?
Is it OK to Clap at Mass?
By Bill Dunn
Sunday Mass was coming to a close, and the children’s choir belted out the Recessional Hymn in fine style. When the last note concluded, most of the folks still left in the pews offered up heartfelt applause for the musical tykes. As the clapping subsided, a woman in the pew behind me muttered, “There should NEVER be clapping at Mass! It’s offensive to God.”
