Slaves to Sin No More
Slaves to Sin No More
By C.L. Killgore
I used to have a professor who would say, “The only true freedom is the freedom from slavery to sin.” He said it often. I don’t know what else I learned in his classes off the top of my head, but those words are clearly etched in my brain (which I suspect was his point).

There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help
There is a Crisis of "Fatherless" Children in America; We Should Turn to St. Joseph for Help
By Larry Peterson
September 8 was the birthday of our heavenly mom, Mary. On her birthday I also always think of Mother Mary’s husband, St. Joseph. Without him there would be no birthdays to celebrate, either on September 8 or December 25. When God chose Joseph of Nazareth to be the foster-father of His only Son, He certainly knew what He was doing.

The Virgin Mary by Fr. Raymond de Saint Laurent Book Review
By Norman Fulkerson
Spiritual stagnation is not uncommon for those who strive for Christian perfection. The remedy often comes from a book that one just happens to pick up, not realizing it as a vehicle for grace. Darkness is dispelled as we turn the pages and are enlightened with truths of the faith that are presented in an attractive way.

Philip Rivers Most Valuable Catholic
By Mike Morris
With all of the excitement that comes with a canonization ceremony one cannot help but ponder the thought, “Am I currently living among future Catholic saints?” The answer is most likely yes, but in the spirit of the 2016 NFL season I’d like to consider one man who has almost certainly earned his halo in his twelve years as a professional athlete.

What are your opportunities to love?
What are your opportunities to love?
By Troy Kroening
We are all given opportunities to love. Some opportunities can be easy to respond with love and others can be quite difficult. Every interaction with another person is an opportunity to love. The other person can affect how easy or difficult it is, but also our beginning demeanor does as well. Let’s look at Mother Teresa as an example.

What's Wrong with Femininity Anyway?

Nonprofit Leadership: This Catholic's Cross and Mission
Nonprofit Leadership: This Catholic's Cross and Mission
By Melanie R. Cameron
I can't stop the waves of successes and failures. I can pray the Serenity Prayer and the Litany of Humility; I can mean these things in my heart, but the challenges still come, the reality of failure, the excitement of success... why would I not work on temperance and humility more? Why does it not feel to me like I'm improving? How can I respond to God's call to ministry when I am so limited?

Within Our Reach
Within Our Reach
By Carleigh Lutz
Oftentimes, we find ourselves feeling inclined to do something great, to go out and change the world. It’s an urging that no amount of time will satisfy, and it feels sometimes as though we will burst for fear of not making a difference. We feel the call to love, because Love lives within us.

The Joy of Suffering
The Joy of Suffering
By Madeline Mauro
We know Jesus loves us, but will we share the Cross with Him? When we say “Jesus, I trust in you,” what are we saying? Mainly, we are surrendering everything to God: The fate of your life, your health, your mind, and your loved ones. St. Padre Pio says to “pray, hope and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
