Open Seat at the Supper Table.
By Susan Charest
My father was a truck driver that delivered everything from coffee, bread to mechanic uniforms. He worked hard to provide for my siblings and me a catholic education that would take us from the first grade all the way to eighth.

My Keys
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I am going to write about a few keys that I have gained throughout living my Catholic faith. These keys are still major points in living my Catholic faith, and still continue to help in shaping me as a child of God.

My Friends, The Saints
My Friends, The Saints
By Sterling Jaquith
When I converted to Catholicism after being an Evangelical Protestant, there were a lot of new things to take in. There was the Pope and the tradition of the Church. There was Mary and the rosary.

The Tipping Point
The Tipping Point
By Joni Johnson

The Passion of the Church, part 2: The Modernist Attack on Feminine Dignity
By Traditional Catholic Guy
The topic of this article is a very grave one, and unfortunately it is not discussed often today. The attack and loss of feminine dignity has had more destructive effects upon this nation and upon the world than any other immorality, save blasphemy and sacrilege.

All The Small Things
By Monique Ocampo
Pope Francis’s general intention for the month of November is “That all who suffer loneliness may experience the closeness of God and the support of others.” One stereotype associated with introverts is that they are loners. As an introvert, I can say that it’s definitely not true.

The perils of preaching
The perils of preaching
By John Rieping
When a catechism teacher supposedly asked her class why they should be quiet in church, a child replied, “Because people are sleeping.” Many, young and old alike, may agree with the late comedian George Burns when he said, “The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, and to have the two as close together as possible.”

Reading God
By John Rieping
There is an ancient practice of prayer known as "lectio divina," a phrase that means "reading God" or "divine reading." It traditionally involves reading the Bible slowly, with imagination and thought. We tend to read the Bible like we drive on the freeway, eager for our destination. But lectio divina requires reading like a car trapped in rush hour traffic -- stop and go.
