What do Protestants believe about Baptism?
What do Protestants believe about Baptism?
By De Maria
Now, if it were true that Scripture was crystal clear and easy to understand, then they would be able to agree upon the nature of Baptism. But, in fact, Scripture is so unclear about the nature of Baptism, that Protestants have come up with several contradicting teachings on Baptism. And they base all of these teachings upon their own personal twist of the Bible alone.

Day 6 Unexpected Evangelist
Day 6 Unexpected Evangelist
By Lori Conklin
This chapter in Rediscovering Jesus brings the reality of Jesus into a context I haven’t considered before, because I always think of Jesus as the son, the second person of the Trinity but not in quite the way that was described in this chapter.

Did I Forget To Pray Today?
Did I Forget To Pray Today?
By Michelle Nicholl
Did I Forget To Pray Today? Are you like me? Do you often find your life is so busy you forget to stop and pray? I know I do, but it's not because I find God to be any less important in my life, it's simply because He’s not nagging me or demanding my attention the way everything around me is; and I'm quite certain, that's your reason too. Right?

If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
If you wish to be saved - The Athanasian Creed
By De Maria
The Athanasian Creed is also known as the “Quicumque vult” because that is how it begins in Latin. It means, “if you wish” or “should anyone want”. Like the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, it is another short formula for understanding our faith. The Athanasian Creed is especially good if you want to memorize an explanation for the Holy Trinity.

Will Anyone Pray for Me When I Die?
Will Anyone Pray for Me When I Die?
By Kevin Kukla
White vestments. A joyful atmosphere. A peppy, humorous eulogy in place of a homily. Such observations seem to far too common at funeral Masses these days, sadly. Do people even realize why a Requiem Mass is even being offered anymore?

The Greatest Commandment of all....
The Greatest Commandment of all....
By Tess Shore
In the Gospel of Matthew 22:34-40, Jesus gives us the greatest commandment of loving God with all our soul, mind, and strength. This commandment is so great that it follows the Ten Commandments where God says, "You shall not have any other Gods beside me." It is the first commandment. So if the greatest commandment is loving God, why do we make excuses instead of following this commandment?

Day 4 The Heart of the Matter
By Lori Conklin
Wow! I loved today’s reading. It really goes right to the heart of the matter. One that each of us has to come to terms with on our own. Oh sure we can debate it, defend it or refuse to look at it, but will all have to deal with it.

The Nicene Creed - The essentials of our faith
The Nicene Creed - The essentials of our faith
By De Maria
Sometimes people will ask, “what are the essentials that we must believe to be Christian?” Luckily, this question was answered by the Catholic Church, centuries ago. We know it as a prayer, known as the Creed. This prayer is the very essence of the saying, “We pray as we believe.” Because it literally declares all which we believe in a simple prayer.

Finding Light in a Small Room
By Chris Harvey
A devout friend of mine once told me that he tried to go to Confession every two weeks. I blurted back, "What? I try NOT to go to Confession every two weeks!" And there, in one exchange is one of the misunderstandings of Confession.

Rediscover Jesus -Day 3- Blue Laws
By Lori Conklin
Remember the Blue Laws? The days when nothing was open on Sunday’s. It was a day set aside for families and relaxation. There was no place to go except to church for that was the only place open. As a child, it was a day where mom and dad were home together, no rush, no routine, except Mass and always dinner at Gram’s house with the extended family.

Responses to liberals – Part 2
By Paul Couturier
It’s been far-left-wing liberals who’ve taken legitimate Church practices and taken them far beyond what is prescribed in Church Law, taking advantage of vaguely written rubrics, administrative procedures, and guidelines, and twisting them to suit their own agendas.

Taking the Mass for granted
Taking the Mass for granted
By Charlie Johnston
Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy. Such participation by the Christian people as "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people (1 Pet. 2:9; cf. 2:4-5), is their right and duty by reason of their baptism.
