Discovering Prayer: Crown of Roses
Discovering Prayer: Crown of Roses
By James Dsouza
For last few years, I have been on a silent lone journey with my God. I was never drawn to recital prayers like rosary. I was never really drawn to Mother Mary. I was pretty much into personal prayer of praise and worship.

Sacred Silence
Sacred Silence
By Dianne Marie
Are you listening? Can you hear Jesus calling? If not, you might want to take a minute or ten to quiet yourself and listen for His gentle voice. That's exactly what I got to do tonight. We had a healing Mass - an opportunity to bring our pain, sufferings, challenges, fears, and give it all to God.

No Crowds--No Applause Here
No Crowds--No Applause Here
By Elizabeth Thomas
Everyday---each person goes through the motions of living life—loving, caring, serving, helping—well just one act at a time: we are the hands and heart of Jesus. Sometimes however, we may feel I am not doing enough or I am not making a difference.

Break This- For Me
Break This- For Me
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Each Sunday we watch as he is broken apart. The priest raises his hands high so we can't miss the tearing apart of the host. But only when I read Pope Francis' homily for the Solemnity we celebrate today, Corpus Christi, did I realize the priest is recreating the breaking of the body of Christ on the cross.

A Handbook for Victims of a Curse
A Handbook for Victims of a Curse
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
One of the most disconcerting types of suffering is that which results from being targeted by another person with an evil curse, (similar to a hex, which is a witchcraft-induced evil spell). A curse or hex may take any of countless manifestations, physical or emotional suffering, financial stress, employment problems, etc.

First, you pray!
First, you pray!
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I think it's really crazy how God gives. God is very generous, so when you ask for something you need to be prepared for something generous! Every day I pray to use the gifts that He has given me to help others, to help my brothers and sisters, to build the body of His Church, to keep His body moving!

God's Way Of Freeing A Catholic Man From All His Sexual Addictions Forever
God's Way Of Freeing A Catholic Man From All His Sexual Addictions Forever
By Bruno Babic
Since having received the sacrament of Confirmation in my late 20s, all the way through to my early 40s, I was a fallen away Catholic man who got seduced by all the glamour of this world’s sexual temptations and sins. I turned my back on God and thought that I was fully capable of creating my own dream life without Him.

Love, Death and a Mother's Pain...
Love, Death and a Mother's Pain...
By Carlos Espinosa
In The Passion of the Christ, there is a beautiful and heart-wrenching scene where, after witnessing the brutal scourging and unjust trial of her son, Mary sees Jesus falling as He carries the Cross. The images flash back to what appears to be a distant memory of a time when Jesus fell as a child and started crying. Mary was there to pick Him up and comfort him in her arms.

Christianity and The Gang Epidemic
Christianity and The Gang Epidemic
By Logan Holder
In 2013, I was jumped into the Gangster Disciple Nation by my older brother in Alabama. I remember vividly the hard punches to my chest that left bruising and busted blood vessels along the center of my body. After my initiation, I quickly found myself longing to earn the respect of my affiliates.

Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
By Greg Schlueter
One may have reason to doubt the real power of Jesus Christ alive and present. 90% disappear after Confirmation. 75% of Catholics no longer attend Mass. Only 13% of Mass-going Catholics even pray before meals. Or, perhaps like the origin of just about every superhero, the power is there, we have it, but we have no idea what we have.

Works of Mercy
By Deacon Ken Ramsey
After I had left life as a public official and followed my calling to the Diaconate, I found that my circle of friends underwent a major transition. I found that a lot of the people that were constantly in my life when I was in public office were no longer anywhere to be found.

Jesus tells me to uncover every stone.
By Kathy Lamb
This morning after reading the gospe,l you began your homily by telling us that these things from the gospel still matter today. You said, “What matters most is what’s going on in our soul. Is every level of our lives in line with Christ? Do we have pure intentions, pure dispositions?

Relationships
Relationships
By Lucas Sauls
If you type relationships into the search bar on the website www.usccb.org, you get about 3210 return results. If you narrow that down to just the New Testament, you get down to about 47, but surprisingly, there is a statement about it in every single book of the New Testament

Psalm 103
Psalm 103
By Malleson Emmerling
As I sat down a month ago and addressed the high school graduation announcements for my daughter, shivers went down my arm. The thought of what she had put me through during her 4 years in high school shook me. She had tested me, disobeyed me and tore me to my core. Then she left me to go live in her father’s home.

...grace in place of grace...John 1:16
...grace in place of grace...John 1:16
By Kathy Lamb
Today I realized how much God has spoiled me. God has been spoiling me my whole life. I was the child who wanted what she could not have. The child who cried when she did not get what she wanted. But today as I was driving along I said to myself, “Look what your generous God gave you!”
