Breaking the Habit
Breaking the Habit
By Alexis Inman
What image appears in your mind when you think of a religious sister? Most people picture a sister as a lady dressed from head to toe in a habit of some kind depending on which order she is a part of. However, we do not see many sisters dressed in the traditional habits anymore, and that is upsetting to some individuals. However, others view it as a blessing.

Confession: Not for the faint of heart.
Confession: Not for the faint of heart.
By Steve Reasbeck
It was a hot, hot day, and the men were sweltering in their blue wool uniforms. They had marched quite a distance in the Pennsylvania heat, and it was now late in the afternoon on July 2, 1863. They were all members of the famed “Irish Brigade” of the US Army, and were gathered in a Peach Orchard just outside the small market town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,

The Sacrament of Touch
The Sacrament of Touch
By David Torkington
In 1986 the Sea of Galilee receded during a drought exposing an ancient fishing boat, 27 feet long by 7.5 feet wide. It was taken to a nearby kibbutz where it was carbon dated. As it was proved to be approximately two thousand years old and designed to carry between 12 and 15 fishermen, the locals called it the 'Jesus boat'.

Was Jesus too hard on Martha?
Was Jesus too hard on Martha?
By Kathy Lamb
At St. Patrick the celebrant began his homily with this question, “Martha or Mary, which is right?” I remember much of what he told us. We all desire to be in the presence of the Lord but we have responsibilities. It’s a balancing act.

Rethinking Mary, Of Martha and Mary
Rethinking Mary, Of Martha and Mary
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
I have always sided with Martha, in defense of her valid complaint against her lazy sister, sitting on her virtual backside while Martha cooks and serves what was most likely a sizable crowd. The Lord was generally accompanied by large groups of people. Imagine suddenly learning that you need to cook for twenty of thirty people? Without help?

Accept Stones
Accept Stones
By Norma Elaine Robertson
In my introduction page I say right away that I am selfish, a little mean and a little rude, stubborn, and conceited. I start with that to let you know to beware of those when you meet me or read my blog posts. That's the way the evil one gets to me because he thrives off my weaknesses.

With the world in such chaos, will you step up?
With the world in such chaos, will you step up?
By Troy Kroening
Sure, we may be stuck thinking we cannot do much with so much going on, but we are spiritual and material beings. The spiritual world and material world may seem so disconnected, but not-so. We, as human beings, stand in both worlds. So, the spiritual affects the material and the material affects the spiritual.

Sacramentals
Sacramentals
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
Getting to bless 'ourselves' in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit is such a loving gift the Church gives us. If you get a chance to stand near the font at Easter Vigil while the water is being blessed and we renounce evil, do it. It's as special as being there for a Baptism.

What Does Everyday Mercy Look Like?
By Nina Rizzo
“May I take your order?” asks our server. We hadn’t looked at our menus yet and asked for more time. “I’m sorry, so sorry!” she says rushing away. We’re a little confused by her reaction, but we continue talking about evangelization programs and activities we can "do" in this Year of Mercy that would bring people to experience the love of Christ.
