Big Tents, Big Hearts, Small Worlds
Big Tents, Big Hearts, Small Worlds
By Ross Decker
My first exposure to Catholicism was through my aunt Thelma. My uncle Joe was Catholic also, but the image of Catholicism, for me, at an early age, was Aunt Thelma. I still have very clear images of her in the pews at St Mary of the Assumption. She was silent, attentive. My mother said she was devout. It was the first time I'd heard the word but it was an accurate one.

Battle Prayer for Married Couples
By Greg Schlueter

Making the Sign of the Cross
By Richard Maffeo
My earliest recollection of seeing anyone make the sign of the cross was when I watched Bing Crosby in “Going My Way” and “The Bells of St. Mary’s.” Of course, as a Jew, I never thought much about the practice. I figured it was a “Catholic” thing. And besides, Jews prayed differently.

Workplace Conversations on Confession and the Priesthood...
By Carlos Espinosa
