The Love You Didn't Know You Had
The Love You Didn't Know You Had
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Kindness is love’s meaningful “point of contact” with another; that’s why kindness is described as “the touch of love.” Jude 21 says, “Stay always within the boundaries where God’s love can reach and bless you.” It’s within those same boundaries that you can reach and bless others.

What I wish I knew before I decided to study theology
By Elizabeth Hoyle
When I made the decision to study theology in addition to English in college, I had no idea I was embarking on a faith journey as well as an academic one. But that’s how it is with Catholicism: ours is a faith of both the head and the heart. Learning is supposed to enhance our faith and vice versa.

Infallibility of The Church
By Kevin Noles

Pope Francis and Eliminating Waste in Your Endowment or Retirement Account
By Bill Ulivieri
A little over 1 year ago Pope Francis addressed “every person living on this planet” with his encyclical “Laudato Si”; Praise be to you, my Lord.
