LENT: Are you ready?
LENT: Are you ready?
By Emily Borman
Lent is almost here. I don’t have my plan ready yet, but I am working on it. I know one thing, it will be little, nothing big, perhaps more than one little thing, but definitely not a big grand plan.

You Can Get Here From There -- Part IV: Looking Up
You Can Get Here From There -- Part IV: Looking Up
By Dean P. Johnson
In a homily given by our parish pastor, he shared a line that he has lived by: looking back is to invite sorrow, looking forward is to invite worry, looking up is to invite faith. Trusting faithfully that the moment we are living in is most important.

Holding on to Jesus: He works in Our Lives
Holding on to Jesus: He works in Our Lives
By Andee de Jesus
Ever wonder how your life changed? When we choose to change us. People look in different perspective, in different ideologies, we can scan every detail of it, but what is important is the impact of the new idea. Our acceptance and acts are the real meaning of how the message of love works.

On Wednesday, Don't Be A Dumb Ash
By Bill Dunn
The month of February has many holidays. There’s Groundhog’s Day and Valentine’s Day; there’s Presidents Day and Mardi Gras. And there’s America’s newest religious festival day: Super Bowl Sunday. And in most years, February is the month when a very special day occurs, the official “I Didn’t Know You Were Catholic Day.”

A Catholic Girl's Litany of Humility
A Catholic Girl's Litany of Humility
By Kara Klein
Oh, to be female, single and Catholic! A state of great ambivalence (or may we say, distress!) for all too many in today’s world. With the feminine desire to make a gift of herself through marriage in a society where people flee commitment, and with deep longings to bring forth life amidst a culture of death, the future for we ladies can sometimes look a little grim.

A PRIEST
By Theresa J Garrido

You're Safe! The Power of the Blessing of a Parent
You're Safe! The Power of the Blessing of a Parent
By James M. Littleton
There is a prevalence of inordinate fear and anxiety in western culture today. Yet, we are called not to live a fear driven life, but rather a life of deeply rooted faith and trust in our loving, all powerful, caring Father in heaven. Yes, He is your Father. We all innately desire safety and security.

The Life of a Priest
The Life of a Priest
By Father Adaly Rosado, Jr.

Time To Join A Catholic Bible Study
Time To Join A Catholic Bible Study
By Bill Dunn
More and more parishes are now offering a Catholic Bible study. Just the term “Catholic Bible study” strikes many people as odd, as if it was a pair of incongruous ideas, kind of like military intelligence, or government efficiency, or Donald Trump humility.

Do We Have a Puny God?
Do We Have a Puny God?
By Theresa J Garrido
Listen to the news and you cringe. A sickening feeling roils and worry takes hold. Admit it. Living in today’s world is frightening, and it gets more frightening every day. Politics aside, it doesn’t appear we Catholics have much chance of survival when we are up against the increasing threat of total annihilation.

Entering Into His Throne Room
Entering Into His Throne Room
By Elizabeth Thomas
Every morning most of the world’s population have a daily ritual of going for a “morning constitutional.” We enter into the Throne Room for some daily ‘dumping’ of useless waste. As I headed there this morning, quickly after my cup of coffee, I was thinking this prayer. “Oh God, I am so thankful for a place to sit in solitude, that has a working flushing toilet, for I know others do

The Pope says don't be Lukewarm
The Pope says don't be Lukewarm
By Susan Skinner
Easter 2014 was beautiful. I watched as the children I taught were initiated into the Catholic Church. It was truly inspiring. The Sunday after Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday. We celebrated the Devotion of St. Faustina at church and it got me thinking. I was lukewarm.

A Love To Die For
A Love To Die For
By Linda Delia
“Yes, I will lay down my life for you, out of love.” These words weigh heavy on my heart this week. A week where red hearts adorn shops all around us. How frequently we throw around the word “love”.

Become A Child Of Christ
Become A Child Of Christ
By Carol Ann Chybowski
I’ve always loved the scene in Mark’s Gospel where Jesus is surrounded by children (Mk 10:13-16). I like to give my imagination lots of room to run as I visualize what it must have been like to be one of the children with Jesus that day.

Transforming Prayer for Married Couples
Transforming Prayer for Married Couples
By James M. Littleton
If someone told you that there was something you could do for as little as five minutes per day to virtually assure that your marriage would last unto death, wouldn’t you do it? Well this is it! Pray together daily. Marriage is not a couple, but a trinity. The third person is God. We need to allow God to be an integral part of our marriage for it to be healthy.

Lenten Ideas for Teens and Tweens
By Laura Catherine Hudgens
It seems like every year Lent sneaks ups on me. I know it’s coming, yet I still find myself scrambling at the last minute to find something to read and to think of something meaningful to do or not do. Not this year. This year I think I’ve got a game plan – or at least the beginnings of one.

Evangelization, Spiritual Warriors and the "Man Crisis"
Evangelization, Spiritual Warriors and the "Man Crisis"
By John C Prejean Sr.
One of the problems that our Church is facing today is what some have called the “man crisis.” Most men are preoccupied with their worldly actions and often neglect their spiritual actions. They are too busy feeding themselves physically.
