II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
II Tim 3:16 and Sola Scriptura
By De Maria
Before I begin, I’d like to thank those who are participating in the comments on the article, “Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament”. This subject was brought up in those comments and let me explain something to you, the epistle known as the 2nd Letter of St. Paul to St. Timothy (2 Tim for short), has nothing to do with Sola Scriptura.

Calling All Prodigals
Calling All Prodigals
By Erika Wehrly
Lately the story of the Prodigal Son has been on my mind because several news songs about it have been playing on the Christian radio station I like to listen to. [Luke 15:11-32] In the story the youngest son demands his inheritance money from his father before his father has passed away. Then he leaves his home and wastes all of the money on women, drinking, and all kinds of "debauchery,"

Don't Forget Those Traveling Prayers!
Don't Forget Those Traveling Prayers!
By Elizabeth Thomas
When the children were young and we traveled to see the folks or go on vacations, we always started out the journey with a prayer, our traveling prayer that went something like this. “Father, we ask that You go before us and surround us with Your Love and Angels. Protect us from any breakdown, flat tires, bad traffic, bad weather, any delays, or evil and bring us home safely. Thank You God

Simple but meaningful
Simple but meaningful
By Mariel Roersma
There is a quote that I love that says, "Nothing proves that you love someone more than mentioning them in your prayers." Most people, me included don't think much about praying for others. It's something that comes naturally, and something we just do. But really, it's quite meaningful.

What part do I play?
What part do I play?
By Theresa Buckley
For cradle Catholics we have heard the words, “The Body of Christ” since we were very young. For others, maybe it started with their conversion. It is through our Baptism that we become members of this Body. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body… (1 Corinthians 12:13). Through baptism we are so united with Christ as to become His very body.

The Tightrope
The Tightrope
By Connie Poulos
They say the way is narrow and lined with rocks. It's narrow alright, and on either side, a terrifying chasm. It's a rickety bridge of ropes and broken boards, And at the canyon's bottom, sharp rocks and rushing water,

The Lost Sheep Bringing Our Young Adults Back To Church?
By Tess Shore
It seems many churches are having issues keeping the 18 to 23 year old population participating in weekly Mass. It also seems that once they leave the Church, it is harder to bring them back. So what is the Church supposed to do?

Believe in Miracles
Believe in Miracles
By Susan Skinner
“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” - (Pope Blessed Pius IX) Everyone loves a good miracle, yet I find today so many of us do not believe. We have stopped expecting the Holy Spirit to act. I find myself some days also needing hope in moments of despair, and it is then that I remember, we have a God of miracles.

Ten Reasons to Attend Daily Morning Mass
Ten Reasons to Attend Daily Morning Mass
By Lora Wilson
Daily Mass is like the time that the risen Lord cooked fish on a charcoal fire and served bread to the apostles on the beach. John 21:12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” He wants to feed you, too! He loves you so much, He wants to become a part of you, and to give you daily bread. What better way to start the day?

Preparing for The End
Preparing for The End
By Judy Landrieu Klein
I don’t know about you, but everywhere I turn lately, there seems to be some prophetic warning about an impending economic and social collapse coming to America. Secular financial experts are saying it. Evangelical Protestant pastors are saying it. Catholic evangelists are saying it.

Now, As For That Hail Mary

I bet you never thought of the Hail Mary prayer as anything but—a prayer. Oh but you are in for a surprise, as I was the day the Holy Spirit whispered new insight into the richest promise of this prayer for we who recite it.

On Daughters, children, and Children of God
On Daughters, children, and Children of God
By Catherine Garrett
When we had our first daughter, I used to think that no ones hair could ever be as beautiful as her golden locks. So silky and soft and it shone so beautifully! Our second daughter was born, and her hair grew into golden strawberry colored curls! Not more beautiful than her sisters of course! But each held their own beauty! And her laugh was simply the cutest ever.

The "song" of the Church
The "song" of the Church

Lately there has been a lot of crying during Mass in our little parish. After what seemed like forever, we suddenly have a parish full of little ones again. I like to call the crying and little noises we hear the "song" of the Church.

Being Catholic Matters
Being Catholic Matters
By Michael Boyer
“Catholic” is not just one among many acceptable religions, philosophies, or even Christian denominations. To think a person’s church or religious affiliation is unimportant, as long as he is generally “good,” is to overlook stark incompatibilities between the Catholic Church and other religions.

Be Satisfied in the Storm
Be Satisfied in the Storm
By Mikalah Krauss
Jesus, walking on the water, intended to pass by His disciples who were on a boat in the middle of the storm. Why would He do this? This seems uncaring, callous. However, it was intended with love. The apostles had not understood the miracle of the loaves and fishes and their hearts had hardened.

The Journey-A Few Insights
The Journey-A Few Insights
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The lure of the journey is an ancient one. Whether striking out to head toward an unexplored west, risking a small fleet of boats to see what is on the other side of the earth or sending spaceships into the sky to discover other life in the majestic universe, the need to explore can be as fierce as a craving.
