Be Christendom
Be Christendom
By Nathan James Rawlins
How many Christians lead a double life? How many of us are Christians at only those appropriate times, Christmas and Easter, possibly every Sunday? And is it only those isolated occasions because our secular culture is marginalizing both Prayer and God? I believe so.

Stay on Target!
Stay on Target!
By Joni Johnson
When our oldest son was in kindergarten, one of the educational catch phrases was, “Staying on task.” I had never heard this before, so questioned his teacher. Basically, it boiled down to this: remaining in his seat and completing a project. In his defense, he already knew his colors, shapes, alphabet, and the sounds the letters make.

The Odyssey to a Committed Prayer Life
By Lorrie McNickle
Our life is a journey. This really makes the path an exceptional challenge for me. I am notoriously directionally challenged and seem to frequently find myself lost when navigating new destinations. Saint Christopher has become a worthy and steadfast companion for me to this end.

Those Gentle Urgings
Those Gentle Urgings
By Michelle Watkins
Today I had an urge. I had a list of errands but something told me to delay my projects and make an Adoration pit stop. I mentally fought it. I figured it could wait till another day….one less filled with self-imposed obligations. Yet, I could not deny a persistent feeling….

What is Prayer?
By Lisa Ponchak
I don't know if anyone else suffers from this problem, but I tend to forget things easily. I am also not a very organized person and can be scatter-brained so if I don't write things down, I easily forget. One spiritual thing I realized I forgot about recently was "The Jesus Prayer".

#Ashes
#Ashes
By Lori Conklin
I always find it humbling when the priest dips his thumb in the ashes, makes the cross on my forehead and says, “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” That puts life into perspective in a way nothing else can.

Concupiscence, Lent, and Mind Obesity
By Mark Connolly
"You are what you eat" the saying goes. I have found this to be false since I am not yet a Wheat Thin (my favorite since I was a kid). Of course I'm not an anything thin at this point, and so maybe that's the point.

Catholics, The Idolators
Catholics, The Idolators
By Tiffany Germain
Those Catholics always worshiping idols. Each of their gazillion churches have their own individual statues and numerous graven images.
