A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
By Charlie Johnston
Every Pope was put into his position by God for a reason. Their primary job is to shepherd God's people, as Jesus told St. Peter "feed my lambs." (John 21:15-17) But there are also many things that God means to accomplish through His servants, and here on earth these reasons are sometimes obvious but other times they are not.

Jesus helps this every day Catholic

Kenosis
Kenosis
By Mike Morris
To be a parent is to be a participant in the contemplative experience. This is true despite one's capacity to recognize. A parent is engaged in a lifelong act of self giving.

God's Newest Soldier
By Michelle Nicholl
Recently. like less than a week ago, I had the opportunity of witnessing another one of my grandchildren receive the Sacrament of ‘Confirmation’. It was an exciting moment for my granddaughter, Maggie, and for the rest of us in attendance. She looked stunning and she'd gone to great lengths to look her best for that special moment, when she and many of her school friends would become ‘Soldiers

My Covenant with Jesus.
My Covenant with Jesus.
By Kathy Lamb
Dear Jesus, You know my favorite beatitude “Blessed is the pure of heart for they shall see God.” Flood me with purity of heart so nothing I say or do will offend you. Fill me with sadness if I become negligent and do something to offend my God for you are my light and my life. You are the sweetness of my soul!”

From Eucharist to Evolution
From Eucharist to Evolution
By Mike Morris
It is no mystery that the central sacrament of Catholic life is the Eucharist. This institution has been the focal point of the Church since Christ scandalized thousands by imploring them to eat his flesh. But for the person who accepts it, how does the mind reconcile? For one, there is the necessity for an active decision to accept Christ's real presence in the Sacrament.

The Day Of Judgment
The Day Of Judgment
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
The Day of Judgment is a mystery to me. I understand what sheep and goats are (Matthew 25:31-46.) I'm afraid to write about this because it's scary and I'm telling something about myself. Going to hell would be awful, not just because it's awful, but because I wouldn't be with God and my brothers and sisters. Eternal life is what I desire with all my heart and spirit.

Heaven's Second Greatest Saint: Saint Joseph

He is a steadfast protector, seemingly in the background, but neither indifferent nor insignificant in the Gospel narratives that speak of his life and role in Holy Family with Jesus and Mary. Sacred Scripture records no spoken words of Saint Joseph.

A relationship with Jesus is like a relationship with anybody in this world, except Jesus will never hurt us or leave us; and His love only gets stronger, but we do have to talk to Him and trust Him. We are never scared into loving Jesus.
