Well, I Told You So!!!
Well, I Told You So!!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
I woke up this morning, my back really sore and hurting and then the spasms hitting like lightening. It is hard to bend and to sit—OW BIG TIME! So, I hit the cold compresses, the meds, the back brace is on, the vibration used and I kept going. Animals were fed, and breakfast cooked. My husband said ‘what did you do, that caused your back to go out?’

Temptations Are Gifts
Temptations Are Gifts
By Lori Conklin
I have been mad all day! I am short with my husband and my children. I can't even stand to be around me!! I can't get the dream out of my head and its self revelations. Images of the same pattern of behavior plague me. Am I really that dense, that I cannot read a situation and choose a different path.

The Brothers of Jesus
The Brothers of Jesus
By De Maria
Protestants frequently try to go through Scripture pointing out that many people are called "brothers" of Christ. This, they claim, proves that Mary had more children. Never mind that these purported "brothers" of Christ can be traced to another mother and father. Let me show you:

Forgive and Forget?
Forgive and Forget?
By E.M. Wilson
So today I was scrolling around the web (I feel like that's a more accurate description than surfing the web) and I read this article that posed an intriguing question: can you forgive and not have a relationship with that person?

Accountability
Accountability
By Stephanie Losoya
I recently realized about myself that I am (mostly) an extrovert. I love people and talking and group activities. In fact, right now I am alone in my apartment, and apart from writing this, I'm bored! I'm the type who needs (really just wants) nearly constant stimulation.

Enter Under My Roof
Enter Under My Roof
By David Vermont
Under the new translation of the Mass, every week just before Communion Catholics repeat, “Lord, I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” Where does this awkward phrase come from and what does it mean?

Nothing to Fear from God
Nothing to Fear from God
By Richard Maffeo
I posted a video to one of my online social network sites which suggested 9-11-01 was part of God’s judgment on America because of its many sins. One reader took great umbrage with that idea. He believes 9-11 was simply the sinful act of “misguided” men, and is unwilling to believe God would permit all those innocent people to die because of the nation’s sins.

Apps for the Mass
Apps for the Mass
By De Maria
How many of you use your smartphones and tablets to keep up with the Mass? Not very many, huh. Yeah, I’m usually the only one using mine at the Parishes I attend. Although, recently, my wife has been using hers in daily Mass. I was surprised, because I’ve been suggesting it for years and she always shrugged me off.

A present day martyr
A present day martyr
By Tess Shore
Sometimes it can be difficult to relate to the Saints. We think of a saint as a person who lived during Jesus' time or centuries before we were even born. While reading the list of daily saints for August 13, the name of Blessed Father Jakob Gapp came across my screen. The name had me intrigued, but more importantly, as I read the blog I could relate to someone on the path to Sainthood.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, I didn't like the Mass
By De Maria
In the last article, I revealed how, one of the reasons that I left the Catholic Church is because I didn't like to kneel and pray. It seemed excruciating torture to me. And it was forced upon me by my parents, especially my grandmother, whenever she prayed. Therefore, I learned, at a very young age, to despise and avoid prayer at all costs.
