To Missal or Not To Missal
To Missal or Not To Missal
By Jody T. Morse
While attending my first Novus Ordo (Latin) Mass, back in the fall of 2009, my brain endured quite the rollercoaster of thoughts. The monologue went something like this: “Wow, Look at this place! It looks like a Medieval-genre film set. Where are we going to sit?

Love and Responsibility: A Deeper Meaning of God's Love and "Pananagutan"
Love and Responsibility: A Deeper Meaning of God's Love and "Pananagutan"
By Andee de Jesus
"Pananagutan' is a Tagalog word that means responsibility. It is one's obligation. When God breathed the life for us, He gave us the gift of life and freewill. He opened our eyes for our purpose in life, that originated the idea of "responsibility". He taught us to be responsible for the uttered or unuttered words, our way of thinking, purpose, and most especially our actions.

An Open Letter to Youth Ministry Leaders
An Open Letter to Youth Ministry Leaders
By Greg Schlueter
While the below article is a bit ranty in form, sometimes we pull punches in things people really need to hear. As her father, I know it is born of a long season of real prayer, self-examination, frustration and, above all, an earnest desire for her generation to more deeply know and live for Jesus Christ. This is for youth ministry leaders who may be settling for less. Anne Marie is in her senior

Just Walking Through

Happy "Turkey Day": No way!
Happy "Turkey Day": No way!
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
I don’t know when or where the corruption of “Happy Thanksgiving” into “Happy Turkey Day” started. Perhaps it began harmlessly, innocently, with no ulterior motive—just a playful “clever” alternative to the traditional greeting for the holiday we celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November.

Sunday Dinner Reveals Graces of Family Crosses
Sunday Dinner Reveals Graces of Family Crosses
By Dean P. Johnson
A couple of Sundays ago, I was sitting at the head of our dining room table. It was one of those moments when you can almost step out of yourself completely, step away from what is going on around you, away from the moment, just to peek back in from an entirely different point of view.

Blessings
Blessings
By Joseph P. Thomas
When we come to the Lord in silent prayer, we are lifting up our hearts to Him and asking Him to hear our plea, for a loved one ill or dying, for a happy marriage, for your child or family member in distress or for ourselves.

You Can Go to Hell
You Can Go to Hell
By Greg Schlueter
The Lord comes on the clouds of Heaven. Everyone will see Him. All the peoples of the earth in history. Curiously- the Book of Revelation says that all will lament Him. Lament means to mourn. To be sorrowful. Why would everyone feel that way? Because we will all see how we have failed in so many ways to do God’s Divine will. We will all see how we sinned and let Him down.

Standing By Jesus Through Our Persecution
By Allison Brown
Every time I have someone attack me for my belief in the Catholic faith, at first I feel hurt and emotional, because my faith is deeply rooted in me and is not something I take lightly. But than the sun comes out and I realise that in fact this is great! Being attacked for my faith actually means I am doing something right.

Of Roman Catholics and Roast Turkeys : Why You Should Go To Mass on Thanksgiving Morning
By Nate Lauer
Go to Mass on Thanksgiving! There is no more fitting action in America on Thanksgiving Day than to do so. Think about the following: The word Eucharist actually means “thanksgiving”. How perfect is that? At the Last Supper, Our Lord gave thanks to the Father in instituting the Eucharist! The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that the Eucharist is “…an action of thanksgiving to God.”

I will be there tomorrow
I will be there tomorrow
By Joe Richard
It’s nearly that time of year again, whether we are ready or not. As we approach Thanksgiving, we will begin to hear Christmas Carols on the radio, in the malls, and in the various stores. One of those songs we will hear is some version of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” I want to give a little background on this old favorite, and share what might be a little-known interesting fact about its background
