Why Confess to a Priest?
Why Confess to a Priest?
By Christopher Brown
While discussing the Sacrament of Penance, I will use a few different terms. Reconciliation, the penitent will reconcile with the Church and God, this reconciliation cannot be separated. “To reconcile means to bring two entities together, so that they are in agreement.” Penance, the penance performed restores the relationship with the Church and God.

Thank God For Tradition
Thank God For Tradition
By Melanie Jean Juneau
When I became a Catholic at 19, I was overjoyed to discover a wealth of wisdom and teaching on prayer, spirituality and the faith. It was like unlocking a door to a vast library of information that had been kept hidden from me . This was information that I could count on, that I could trust as authentic, tried and true.

God Reveals: We Respond
God Reveals: We Respond
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Decades ago, I ranted and raved at the efficient, organized people who tried to carry out their own personal agendas within the Catholic Church. Yet I lacked the words to connect with these proactive Catholics who dismissed me as some sort of irrelevant, passive mystic.

Celibacy and the Single Mom
Celibacy and the Single Mom
By Elizabeth Conner
This is a really hard post for me to start, because I don't know where to begin. How can I write about celibacy? I mean I am...celibate...although, it is hard. Maybe that is exactly why God wants me to write this, as a reminder to myself why this is so important.

Why the Devout Life is essential for every Catholic
Why the Devout Life is essential for every Catholic
By Traditional Catholic Guy
“Frequently, on the pretext of some supposed impossibility, [ordinary Catholics] will not even think of undertaking a devout life. It is their opinion that just as no animal dares to taste the seed of the herb called palma Christi, so no one should aspire to the palm of Christian piety as long as he is living under the pressure of worldly affairs.”

Obedience is like a Diamond?
Obedience is like a Diamond?
By Father Adaly Rosado, Jr.
Obedience is like a Diamond in the rough. When diamonds are first pulled out of the ground they can be dirty with mud. They are also in rough shape and not ready to be placed into a ring or a chalice. However, after they are cleaned and cut diamonds are amazingly beautiful and ready to be set.

Stances of Grace
Stances of Grace
By Karl Erickson
We are often reminded of the need to live each day for Christ—not just during Sunday Mass alone. The idea being that we too often compartmentalize ourselves; our church and spiritual lives on one side, and our secular lives on the other. As converts to the Catholic Church in 2005, the merging of these two distinct halves has been something I have personally struggled with ...

Christ My Healer
Christ My Healer
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
An unfortunate teaching that is rampant among the churches, is the fallacy that the Lord's miracles, such as healing, ended upon the death of the apostles. To say that would render the Bible to just another historical narrative. God's Word is replete with promises that pertain to our healing whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.

Injured and Alone
Injured and Alone
By Karl Erickson
Our hike into Oregon’s Mt. Jefferson Wilderness had begun so auspiciously that Friday morning. My wife, daughter, and our Newfoundland puppy named Chester saw us off, hiking with us into Lake Pamelia (3,884 ft. elevation) where we parted ways: they returning to the trailhead, and my father, son (Stephen), and I pushed higher and deeper in to Hunt’s Lake

Let Peace Begin With Me
By Connie Beckman
Watching the news can leave you feeling like the world is falling apart at its seams. With all the violence, wars, and persecution of innocent people happening daily before our eyes, it is heart wrenching and discouraging. You want to shout— "stop the killing. Just stop!" Can't we just live peacefully with one another? What are we to do?
