The Grace of Ordinary Time!
The Grace of Ordinary Time!
By Rosemary Bogdan
The Easter season has ended and here we are back in Ordinary Time. It's not Advent or Christmas. It is not Lent or the joyous season of Easter. It's ordinary. It is the normal rhythm of our daily lives. There is a great grace that lies on the days that are high feasts in the Church. But may we never forget that there is grace in the ordinary as well.

The Joy of Obedience
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira

A Snob in the Pew
A Snob in the Pew
By Chick Todd
Beloved, I must confess something to you. I AM A SNOB! I play favorites. I look down my colossal nose at people who say further when they mean farther, or tell me "It's a mute point" instead of "It's a moot point."

Partly Human Most of the Time
Partly Human Most of the Time
By Loretta Myler
What does it mean to be fully human? When I was growing up I learned that it was to be completely independent and in control. I tried controlling myself with limited success. I tried controlling my surrounding with less success and I tried to control others with obvious disastrous results.

Motherhood
Motherhood
By Flora Burke
In 2011, my husband and I made the decision for me to give up my career to stay at home to take care of my daughter. We had talked about it before marriage and my husband knew it was something that I wanted. However, we also wanted to be financially secure.

Don't Worry, Be Happy.

Faith and the Old Man
Faith and the Old Man
By John C Prejean Sr.
One of the things that I vividly remember after coming back to church after such a long hiatus, was the lack of men out in the pews. It’s not that I didn’t see any men but the men that I did see out there were the older men, our fathers and our grandfathers. So, where were all the younger men at?

What Is The Church?
What Is The Church?
By Tony Thomas
Most of us by now understand “church” as a “people”, and not a “building”; further clarified: The Church is “God's” people. I've known this for some time. I’d even heard that it meant more specifically, “those who are called”; equating “church” with “called”. With that understanding, I thought I was a super theological scholar.

Why I veil as a young person...
Why I veil as a young person...
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
I've been asked by a number of people over the years why I wear a veil when I go to Church or am in the convent, whether it be for Mass, The Divine Office (i.e. Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night Prayer, Prayer of the Church) or just for private, personal time with God.

Catholicism: A Faith for Doubters
Catholicism: A Faith for Doubters
By Amanda Knapp
I became a mom just under seven years ago. I remember the first time I looked into my daughter's eyes. I had never seen anything or anyone so pure and innocent. I reveled in it. I got lost in it.

4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
By Erin Franco
When it comes to books, movies and television, many of us have had our guilty pleasures at one time or another. I sure have. There comes a point though when we can't reconcile consuming junk and then turning around and putting out goodness. There's comes a point when God answers our prayer to "search me O Lord," and He asks us to take a hard look at what we let in to our hearts and minds.

Trusting in God and Giving Him Praise, Even In Times of Trouble
Trusting in God and Giving Him Praise, Even In Times of Trouble
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
We need to trust in the Lord, and know that “there is a time for everything…and all will be done in God’s time” (Ecclesiastes 3). So often, we react too fast to situations. We fail to trust that God has a plan for us.

"Because, I Told You So!"
"Because, I Told You So!"
By Elizabeth Thomas
Now, my children are all grown and out the door—but I remember many were the times when I heard a ‘why?’ and responded---“Because I told you so—now do it.” Rather it was to clean up a room, finish their chores, go out to play, do their homework—it didn’t matter—because I am parent—and know what is best for you—“so, do as you are told.”

The Trinity and Prayer
The Trinity and Prayer
By Pat McDermott
Did you ever try to explain the “Trinity” to someone who didn’t understand it? Not an easy task, is it? I heard a great comparison that you may want to consider… it surely helped me not only explain it, but understand it. I am the “daughter” of two amazing parents.

Weeds Of The Soul
Weeds Of The Soul
By Michael Palaich
It started when I was a young boy. Even then, I found it interesting to observe the difference between homeowners who maintained their lawns and those who did not. I was arrogant enough in my youth to think that I could judge a homeowner by the amount of weed growth in their lawn.

I May Be a Lone Catholic, But I'm Not Alone
