Articles in 'Prayers & Devotionals'
Christ The King
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
After praying the Office for the Feast of Christ the King this morning, I smiled as I read a brief meditation written for this day in Magnificat. The priest author wrote about a friend who suggested a change that should be made in the name of today's feast day.

Philadelphia and Pope Francis
By Tess Shore
It was time for Philadelphia to shine on many fronts especially since we had millions of people coming to our city to see the beloved Pope. We wrote songs. We painted murals. We even did a Grotto of Knots. We had security beyond the normal days.

Washing Windows on a Beautiful Autumn Day and the Examen
By Mallory Hoffman
I have to struggle to reach the top of the windows in my kitchen, but the view is beautiful! Most of the colors are gone now. Most of the trees are bare, but the beauty of the afternoon remains. Unlike many fall days, the sun is warm and bright. There’s a cool breeze in the air, but that’s to be expected this time of year. Actually, it’s a surprise that we don’t already have snow on the ground.

My Purpose in Life
By Allison Brown
If you told me a week ago that I would be given the answers to my questions and daily struggles, I would have said "What ever". Truth of the matter is that over the weekend I have discovered and learnt what I needed so badly to hear, to be told.

What's your mercy-vessel?
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
As we anticipate the start of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy beginning December 8th, I can’t help thinking about two images I have had in mind since I first learned about the Divine Mercy Devotion twenty-five years ago.

The Tree, the Tumbleweed, and the Dandelion
By Mike Zimmerman
Bear with me as I work this thought through. I was intrigued by someone’s metaphor today and thought I would elaborate on it a bit. The question that I pose to you the reader is this: are you a tree, a tumbleweed, or a dandelion? Now, while many might be thinking about their answer already and seeing the attributes of each, I ask you to hold off.

Let Your Light Shine And God'S Love Will Shine Through!
By Sharla Ynostrosa
Hello Out There! I want to share something that happened at the Sack Lunch Ministry at our parish on Wednesday. A young man showed up about 25 minutes before we started handing out lunches. We had never seen him before. He sat in the cafeteria with his head down while he was waiting.

Examine Your Day
By Clare Lafferty
Recently, I have discovered what is called the Daily Examen. This practice has been used for centuries and is a method of personal daily inventory.

Triumph Of Mary's Immaculate Heart

"In the End My Immaculate Heart will Triumph". Most of us know, or should know, the one who stated those words.

Discernment - Catholic Questions
By Leslie Shaw Klinger
It is difficult sometimes to think of what I do as a "vocation". I don't devalue what I do, I just find it difficult to view the office job I have as a way to fulfill God's Will in my life. Surely, my desires to be a famous actress or world respected and renowned writer is my true vocation.

Suffering... I know the word too well and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

God's Mutual Love
By Dean P. Johnson
Let us consider a major theme of the Bible: God loves and cares for his people. Consider Bible stories about God’s interaction with people both directly and indirectly. His walks in the Garden of Eden. The dreams of Joseph and Jacob. The fiery finger of God, chiseling his commandments for Moses. God’s messenger sent to Mary. And so on.

To Shout for Joy!
By Teresa Hurst
You see I consider laughing to be a super fun thing to do. And while that’s not alarming on its own, the issue arises when one considers how much laughing I like to do in a given day. Take my word on it; it’s a lot. I really think I could have authored the song from the movie Mary Poppins that goes: “I love to laugh, loud and long and clear. I love to laugh. It’s getting worse every year.”

Prayers We All Should Know: The Anima Christi
By Trish Stukbauer
As Catholics, we are blessed to share a rich and vibrant prayer heritage that has accumulated over literally thousands of years. Over time, many of these prayers that once were mainstays of our faith have been sadly neglected or just not taught – and as a result, not said – as often as they once were. One of these is a prayer that dates back to the 14th century – the Anima Christi.

Breath
By Will Campbell
I am closer than your breath. Close your eyes, breathe, and listen to the silence. Feel your heart beat? That is my Life flowing through you. Up through your neck, to supply your mind with oxygen.

Are We Ever Worthy?
By Clare Lafferty
But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed" For all Catholics, this passage should be familiar. The root of these words are what we say at every Eucharistic celebration before receiving Jesus. But are we really ever worthy to receive Him?

A Glimpse of Heaven
By Lori Conklin
It is surreal. The convention center alive with thousands of Catholics. Priest, Religious, Laity, young, old, families….people from all walks of life, from varying ethnicities and economic background coming together to witness the Faith to all those they meet.
