Quid est Veritas?
By Joseph Michael
St. Augustine once alluded to the idea that if you think you can comprehend God, then it isn’t God that you comprehend. God is the Creator; we are his creation. As such, it is not possible for us to fully comprehend our Creator in His entirety.

What Can a relationship with Jesus Do?
By Kaity Jones
How important is a relationship with Christ? In my opinion extremely. If you asked almost anyone they would agree with that, but what does it mean to be in a relationship with Christ? I have found it means you pursue Him as He pursues you or you allow Him to pursue you.

What to do in a World filled with Chaos
By Susan Skinner
The world seems chaotic these days. Hate seems to permeate the air. Social media has enabled us to dehumanize. It reminds me of road rage. We think because we can’t see the person in the car, they are not human, we curse and gesture at them, having no idea of the life in the car.

Garbage In Garbage Out
By Anthony Stine
I have a hard time watching television these days. I don't know if you do or not but when I watch TV it seems that the bulk of what's available is a combination of self worship, pornography, and moral indifference. It doesn't help that much of broadcast television is generally poorly written fare, with the best writing reserved for cable

Why Go?
By Mariel Roersma
We are constantly asking God for things; for more money, for good health, for this, for that, but have you considered that there is one thing that He is asking us. There is just one thing He wants from us; to go to Mass. That is it. It's not something that is very time consuming or hard. It's simple and there are many reasons to go.

Sixty years and counting
By Tess Shore
Springtime is a big deal for celebrations and transitions. Priests get ordained, change parishes or celebrate years of service. Springtime also is full of graduations and the tons of parties that go with them. In my own Archdiocese, it seems as if priests are always moving.

Why Does God Permit Evil?
By Christopher McCarthy
The problem of evil is one which has proven itself a stumbling block to the faith of many Christians in both ancient and contemporary times. One cannot help, in looking out upon the various ills that continually beset humanity, but to question whether the Christian God is in fact “good” at all, at least in the moral sense of the word.

One Unplanned Pregnancy Saved Us All!
By Lorrie McNickle
One unplanned pregnancy saved us all! It is truly remarkable how when we relinquish all we have and are to our Heavenly Father what he makes of us, and what fruit we bear.

Death and Dying
By Mary Rivers
Each of us has known the death of someone close to us; sometimes death is unexpected, sometimes it is after the passion of suffering. Always death of someone makes us think of our own mortality; our thoughts vary with our relationship to Jesus.

Spiritual Cataracts
By Richard Maffeo
A cataract develops slowly over time, causing the lens in the eye to become progressively cloudy. Without surgical intervention, cataracts inevitably lead to blindness.

Holy Spirit
By Lucas Sauls
Does anyone out there ever read a passage one day, get something out of it, then look at it the next day and get something totally different? Oh man, I know I am not alone in this at all, however, that is exactly what is happening for me with this wonderful passage from today's reading.

Showing Gratitude for the Ultimate Gift
By Linda Kracht
All human persons share one ‘characteristic’ in common; regardless of ethnicity, country of origin, age, political party or spiritual or moral values and beliefs. What is that one thing? Take a guess. If you guessed that we are each a gift [freely bestowed upon our parents, siblings, and even fellow citizens] you have guessed correctly.

For Such a Time as This
By Richard Maffeo
CEO or warehouse clerk, sanitation worker or high school teacher, homemaker or physician, white collar employee or blue collar, unemployed, employed, or underemployed – wherever we interact with others, we are each today where God has placed us “for such a time as this.”

Mary's Resurrection: A Mother's Heart Made Whole and New!
By James Berkon
Made New. What beautiful words! They are words we not only long to hear but make our own! Redemption, second chances, a new start are at the very core of what it is to be human. The opportunity to make things right again make life worth living.

Flung In the Mud and Trampled Underfoot
By Teresa Hurst
During the hour of Divine Mercy (3:00), I like to walk over to church and be with Jesus. He’s my next-door neighbor. As I’ve mentioned before, I can see the doors of the church that lead to the chapel and the Blessed Sacrament from my kitchen window. (I know. I’ve got it good.)

You Are God's Beloved: God Wants to Marry You
By Katie Zalany
Like many people, I have felt aches and desires for more in my life. Despite loving relationships, a fulfilling career, and a growing spiritual life, I often still feel an emptiness – a pull if you will. A desire that goes unfulfilled, that others just can’t satisfy.

In today’s modern culture we are obsessed with appearances of the body. The fashion, cosmetic, fitness, and health industry are all billion dollar industries in their own right.
