Did Our Lady Use Scare Tactics by Showing Children the Vision of Hell?
By Rex Teodosio
The most impressive picture of the three seers of Fatima is the one taken soon after they saw the vision of hell. The vision lasted only moments but it is evident from the expressions on their faces how profoundly it marked them.

By Carol Ann Chybowski
I have always loved the stories of St Francis Assisi and the animals. I’m sure most people are familiar with the story of the wolf that was attacking a village and how Francis was able to speak to the wolf and broker a peace pact.

Let us pray....

This is how Mrs. Melania Trump started her prayer on February 18, 2017, in Melbourne, Florida. No one noticed. On January 22, 2005, Ms. Melania Knauss was married to Mr. Donald Trump. As she walked up the aisle, a soprano sang, Ave Maria. And she wore on her person, her grandmother's rosary.

Justice Sister of Prudence, Fortitude and Temperance
By Linda Kracht
Since most of us are disobedient to God [proven by the fact that we have sins to confess] — are we relegated to the practice of imperfect, man-made justice on earth?

Talking the Talk is Simple, Walking the Walk-Not So Much
Talking the Talk is Simple, Walking the Walk-Not So Much
By Lorrie McNickle
It is pretty simple actually, and all laid out right before our eyes. It all has been since the very beginning too. The beginning of what, you might ask? Well, from the beginning of everything. You see, God is our Creator, he made us for him, so that he could love us and we could be with him enveloped in his eternal beatitude and glory for all time.

I was "Isadored" by Two Catholics and a Hebrew; It was Great*
By Larry Peterson
I never knew a Catholic/Christian named Isidore. I had always thought that the name, Isidore, was primarily a Hebrew/Jewish name. In fact, several years ago, when my cousin, Vicki, discovered who our mysterious, missing grandfather was, his name turned out to be Isidore. It proved my point; Isidore Schul was a Hebrew man from Krakow.

Catholics Should Learn How to Dance
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Is joy at the heart of your life in Christ? Many Catholics feel beleaguered as they struggle to stand up for the truth in an increasingly hostile environment.

The Trouble with Most of Us
The Trouble with Most of Us
By E.M. Wilson
I have been doing a lot of spiritual reading lately for groups I’m part of and I keep seeing the phrase “most of us.” Usually, when someone uses the phrase “most of us” in spiritual reading it is not because they are about to give most of us a compliment.

I was a Fatima Kid
I was a Fatima Kid
By E.M. McCarthy
Today we take for granted that we have a relatively peaceful world. But not too long ago, during the Cold War, people lived with the fear a nuclear war would end creation. Not much could be done; or so we thought.

A Revert's Perspective
A Revert's Perspective
By Lisa Ponchak
It is no secret that my husband has struggled with deep regret over us leaving the Catholic Church and being away for 10 years. He has since worked through it and has forgiven himself, especially now that the Lord has restored him, and he is doing what he is passionate and gifted in. I on the other hand have not dealt with the same regret.

On Petitionary Prayer
On Petitionary Prayer
By Rob Agnelli
To the outsider, Christian doctrine gives the appearance of having many contradictions. A common example concerns the Christian practice of petitionary prayer. The objection goes something like this, “If God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then why would we pray to Him?
