The Courage of Father Bernhard Lichtenburg; Priest and Martyr
By Larry Peterson
The Holocaust took the lives of millions of innocents. Amazingly, throughout all of those horrors there were always those who stood tall and spoke out against the existing tyranny. Their courage, staring into the face of death, is awe inspiring. One of them was Bernhard Lichtenberg. A victim of the Holocaust, his courage should be an example to us all.

Reflections on the Coronation of The Blessed Virgin Mary
By Frank J. Maduri
The Liturgical Calendar marks The Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15th and in my reflection during the course of that Holy Day of Obligation, I found myself pondering the events handed down through centuries of Catholic tradition. The backdrop is the world in which there seems to be so much darkness, anger, and fear.

What's a Doula? A Catholic Doula Program?!! Fast-Track
By Julie
I just finished a radio interview with Dave Palmer the manager of the local Catholic Radio Station Guadalupe Radio Network. This particular interview will air on August 26th, so I thought I should blog about this too.

Patience is Eternal
By Linda Kracht
Even the synonyms for patience get us a bit off-track from owning patience. At a minimum, patience is the sum total of all of the above plus more. Let’s talk about more next.

Grace trumps each time
By Rose Cuervo
There was a viral video going around where a teacher proclaims the virtue of hard work over intelligence and genius. There was of course more things above grit, which is overrated and potentially fraught with the pulling-oneself-up-by-one's-bootstraps self-reliance that would degenerate into pride and ultimately distancing from God and ingratitude of what He sends.

St. Maximilian Kolbe: Martyr of Charity
By Gina Weiss
The Nazi concentration camps of World War II were indescribably horrific, and many of the prisoners lost hope: of being rescued, of surviving, of finding any good in mankind.

How to have a happy marriage (or Using Christ's like actions towards perpetual unions)
By Rose Cuervo
In the visit to the Holy Face Monastery in Clifton, NJ in the Feast of the Transfiguration I was able to meet somebody who still brings a picture of her long deceased spouse and touches it at the call for peace and lightly kisses it.

Warriors for the Working Day
By Robert Atkinson, M.I.
I was always looking for something! St. Augustine says "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” Well, I finally found rest in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, the Holy Eucharist! The first time I walked into a Catholic Church, I knew I was home!

Repentance: Conforming one's life to reality
By Deacon Frederick Bartels
When Christ began his ministry he announced: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt 3:2, Mk 1:15). These first words of the incarnate Son of God are perennial words spoken to all people throughout all time. They remind us that something wondrous yet mysterious is waiting beyond the visible constraints of this world.

This Filipino Teenager was Martyred "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith)*
By Larry Peterson
Pedro Calungsod was born in the Philippines sometime during July of 1654. He was a migrant child who was taken in by the Jesuits and educated at their boarding school in the Visayas section of the Philippines. This is where he learned his catechism and how to speak Spanish.

Daily dependence on Holy Spirit gives fruit
By Rose Cuervo
I was able to have a Secondary Traumatic Stress handout from colleagues doing child fatality reviews. It mentions that because the toll of abused children are over 10 million, the people caring for them in the familial, social, pastoral and medical spheres will inevitably get to listen to trauma stories that will bring about PTSD-like responses and yield if not in some compassion fatigue ...

The forgotten Key, Our Eucharistic Lord
By Robert Atkinson, M.I.
The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, the good news! The above word picture of a pedestrian delivering the good, while beautiful and evocative, has little in common with the "New Evangelization" so prominent in the Church today! The great irony, as I see it, is summed up in the word pedestrian!

I attended the local Catholic Homeschool Conference this year; I actually learned a lot. I have been homeschooling since my daughter's been in Kindergarten. Now, we have a first grader and third grader this year. We are doing First Communion Preparation, etc. this year too.

Why Most of Us Are Scapegoats, Not Saintly Martyrs
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Every society, every culture has a tradition of a scapegoat: a person or group of people to blame and punish for the sins of that particular society. Centuries ago, old women were blamed for poor crops, cows which failed to produce milk and any birth defects.

Blessed Pierina Morosini: the Inspirational Patroness of Rape Victims
By Larry Peterson
Most of us are familiar with the child saint, Maria Goretti, who, at the age of eleven, was brutally murdered defending her chastity. St. Maria was beatified by Pope Pius XII in 1947 and canonized a saint by him in 1950. She is the patron saint of chastity, rape victims, teenage girls and forgiveness.

Martyred for Painting a Nativity Scene
By Larry Peterson
Thank you Founding Fathers. You have truly left us Americans blessed. I am a Catholic and I went to Mass this morning without a care in the world. For many Catholics, the world over this has not always been the case.
