By Lorrie McNickle
I see a lot of hype these days about mega churches. You know, those huge Protestant churches that congregate 2000 or more attendees for their weekly services.

7 Ways to Pursue Beauty (and Faith!) This Spring
By Caitlin Bootsma
Dostoevsky claimed that “Beauty can save the world.” And Yeats wrote, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,'--that is all/Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” In other words, beauty is powerful. As Christians, we know that beauty is even more potent still because God is the source of Beauty, of all that is good.

The Sorrowful Mysteries
The Sorrowful Mysteries
By Catherine Garrett
Driving home the other day from a nice vacation with my family I was praying my rosary. It being Friday, I was reciting the sorrowful mysteries. Well through the first mystery, The Agony In The Garden, I thought about the number of times I have prayed before something big in my life.
