Saint Philomena: Myth or Reality?
Saint Philomena: Myth or Reality?
By Traditional Catholic Guy
“I am very saddened by all that is being written about [Saint Philomena]. How can such things be possible? How can they not see that the great argument in favor of devotion to St. Philomena is the Curé of Ars? Through her, in her name, by means of her intercession, he obtained countless graces, continual wonders.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Exaltation of the Holy Cross
By Renee Oania
This weekend was a great Mass of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. What caught my attention in my parish was the cross in the Church, of Jesus Christ hanging and below his feet was a red cloth draped down to the floor. Also, the priest wore a red vestment, and the deacon and altar servers had red on them, too.

The Family Rosary
The Family Rosary
By Rosemary Bogdan
These are not easy times to be raising children. The moral decline of our culture, the rise of relativism, hostility toward Christianity, in short, the world, the flesh, and the devil are all working against what we want for our children. What are parents to do? We must pray and pray hard.And who better to turn to on this, the celebration of her birthday, than the Blessed Mother.

Mysterious Tools
Mysterious Tools
By Karl Erickson
An experience from a few months ago gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of prayer. It was late at night, and my eight-year-old son was very sick in bed. He lay there moaning and crying because of terrible pain in his ears. While my wife was on the phone trying to reach a doctor, I tried to do what I could to comfort him.

Rosaries
Rosaries
By Renee Oania
Rosaries are holy items that helped me learn to pray and to better understand the Catholic Faith. I feel embarrassed because I never prayed the rosary before now. While I worked at the Carmel Mission Basilica, one afternoon, my supervisor and I walked around the grounds and then stopped at the Gift Shop.

St. Paul Calls Out to us From Across the Ages
St. Paul Calls Out to us From Across the Ages
By Larry Peterson
The second reading at Sunday's Mass (the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: 8/31/2104) was from St. Paul to the Romans: 12:1-2. The words reverberated in my head and I think it was not only because of their simplicity and timeliness but primarily because of the message.

Whose Map?
Whose Map?
By Joni Johnson
Have you ever noticed that God's path for our journey is not the one we would have chosen for ourselves? I'm not just talking about the "big" things, either (jobs, locations, church affiliations, etc.). I'm talking about the journey: the day-to-day places of our lives. Still confused? Let me illustrate.

Faith and Family Traditions
Faith and Family Traditions
By Sharla Ynostrosa
I just wanted to share something that touched my heart last night during Mass. I was a lector and a Eucharistic minister so I was up by the altar and able to see everyone all the way to the back of the cathedral. What caught my eye, was my son holding his 14 month old daughter, and my daughter holding her 28 month old daughter standing next to each other right below the statue of St. Anthony.

Who's a Saint?
Who's a Saint?
By Christopher Brown
My purpose in this article is to help Catholics defend "Praying to the Saints" to those whom challenge them. How do people know you're Catholic? (thought of the day) It is just simply amazing me as to the questions I receive when I meet ordinary people in ordinary circumstances.

Defending Mary: Part Two
Defending Mary: Part Two
By Christopher Brown
Continuing with the defense of Mary, many claim that the Bible strongly condemns communication with the dead. It does not matter if those who died were good or bad, saintly or evil, there is to be no communication between the living and the dead. The only communication with spirit beings that originates with man that is allowed in Scripture is that of prayer to God, and He alone.

Moving Backward or Moving Forward Towards God.
Moving Backward or Moving Forward Towards God.
By Renee Oania
The first article I wrote was about Staying Positive While Seeking God's Plan In My Life. August 20, 2014 was the beginning of a new chapter in my life of focusing on my Catholic Faith. Growing up Catholic, there was a point in time that I was moving backward, away from God, because I didn't feel His presence, and I was having a hard time trusting and believing in what He had in store for me.
