I saw you!
I saw you!
By Casey Phillips
As a teacher in a Catholic school, you assume that your students are pretty familiar with things like seeing their teachers at Mass, hearing them talk about the faith regularly, or simply seeing them live out their Christianity on a daily basis. For better or for worse, it becomes routine.

Responses to liberals - Part 1
Responses to liberals - Part 1
By Paul Couturier
Recently, I wrote two posts chastising far-right-wing conservative Catholics who obsess over valid Church practices in place for many years now. They claim these valid practices will bring nothing but doom and gloom to the Church! However, these two posts are addressed to the far-left-wing liberals in the Church; trust me, I haven’t forgotten about you!

Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
Blessed Josephine Viannini and the Rogue Yak
By Christy Breedlove
Blessed Josephine Viannini was a late 19th century religious from Italy who was asked by Blessed Louis Tezza to form an order to help care for the sick that were unable to pay for care. Well, as any good servant of God would do, she prayed over it and answered “yes”. She marched off to do her duty and saw her congregation spread to other countries. Her feast day is February 23.

Jesus is God and Jesus died.
Jesus is God and Jesus died.
By De Maria
Our souls are said to die when they are separated from God. But that is not true death, just a manner of speaking. They in fact, continue to exist, they are not extinguished. The soul is spiritual. And since spirit is a synonym for life that means they continue to live.

God's Wavelength
God's Wavelength
By Victor S E Moubarak
I was playing around with an old radio the other day trying to make it work. I’m not particularly good at electronic or electric stuff but that has never stopped me. I plugged the thing in and a small light shone at the front … ah … it’s alive after all.

Alcoholism and Depression - a Catholic Response
By Leslie Shaw Klinger
I believe that one of the symptoms of the disease of Alcoholism is being prone to bouts of depression. They come out of nowhere. I go to bed feeling pretty darn happy only to wake up 6 hours later dreading the day and wishing everything in my life was radically different because the very life I had 6 hours ago is now horrible.

Patience: A Waiting Game
Patience: A Waiting Game
By David Torkington
St Catherine of Siena said that patience isn’t so much a virtue as the test of all true virtue. If you haven’t any patience at all its ten to one you haven’t any virtues either that are worth writing home about.

Why Do We Fear ‘The Fear of the Lord'?

Is it too late now to say sorry?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
By Allyson Rae
Some two-thousand years ago, Jesus sat on a hilltop in front of his followers and he taught us, word-for-word, exactly how to pray. And two-thousand years later, we still use these very same words in our daily Masses, rosaries, and family prayers. We still pray in the same way Jesus taught us.

Fear and Hell
Fear and Hell
By Linda Kracht
Recently, my husband and I traveled to Poland; we visited Auschwitz I & II. The latter is also known as Auschwitz-Birkenau. Until that trip, I didn’t realize the difference between the Nazi concentration camps and the death camps. The former were slave labor camps where crews of people worked themselves to death hewing out rock, and doing other hard manual labor jobs.

St. John of the Cross Poetry Reflections Part 6 The Living Flame of Love
By Tim Hatch
The Living Flame of Love contains beautiful imagery that can be used to describe what takes place in Purgatory. St. John of the Cross more explicitly speaks of his experience of the purification of the soul in this poem. Here, the Beatific Vision of God is compared to a "living flame of love."
