By De Maria
If we look through Scripture, we find that Jesus selected a group of men. Then He organized them into a cohesive company of men to which He then gave a mission to accomplish. What was that mission? Was it that they should write down all which He commanded and hand it out so that others could read it and learn for themselves what He taught?

I Like to Watch
I Like to Watch
By Gail Berna-Dompke
I like to watch. I know I shouldn't, but there is something about it. There is something universal and personal at the same time, so I watch. It wasn't always like this. For many years, I refused to attend. (...These are indeed a stiff necked people..Exodus 32:9.) This was the sort of thing my Christian friends would shake their fingers at and convict me of idol worship.

Holy Thursday - "Do you understand what I have done for you?"
By Brenda Kindelan

From March 25, 2016 - April 2, 2016: Bringing (which?) Souls to Jesus
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Although there are different kinds of prayer, if you are like me, you spend a lot of time asking the Lord for this or that special favor, which isn’t a “bad” thing. For the Lord Himself said: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be

Joy and Sorrow: Essential Paradox
Joy and Sorrow: Essential Paradox
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Long before I came back to the church, during those years in which I considered myself an atheist, I discovered the writings of Kahil Gibran (only after I joined the Catholic Church did I learn that Gibran had been Catholic) ; there was one meditation of Gibran’s in particular that I loved: On Joy and Sorrow.

Pain and Suffering - God, why me?
Pain and Suffering - God, why me?
By Wesley Falcao
Each person goes through some form of suffering in their life. Sometimes, our suffering seems unique compared to the sufferings of other people. It may also seem that we suffer more than others. Often during such times, a question comes up in our minds - "God, why me? Why of all people do I have to go through all this?"

My playlist
My playlist
By Clare Lafferty
Like most people, I have a smartphone that has my favorite songs on it – my playlist as it were. I have many different types of music on my playlist from current favorites like Taylor Swift to my personal favorite, Frank Sinatra. I have jazz, dance, classical, pop and also hymns on several playlists. I listen to these songs in times of triumph and tragedy, to motivate me and to just chill out.

A Semi-Comprehensive Guide to Surviving an International Mass Experience
By Courtney Holbrook
One of the things I love about the Catholic Church is our Internationality. All over the world at any point there are devout Catholics participating in the same Mass. Even if it is in an unfamiliar language, you can always know what is going on. Speaking as someone who has traveled to multiple countries, wherever there is a Catholic Church I can find a home.
