The Whale's Prayer
The Whale's Prayer
By Sue Hallett
For all we know of the world, we know so little. Whales sing, of this we are aware, but more than that is pretty much a mystery. Scientists tell us that the blue whale’s song, projecting waves of sound that touch neither the sea bottom nor the foamy surface, can extend five thousand miles through the ocean.

The Martha Syndrome
The Martha Syndrome
By Marie Murphy Duess
I’m a Martha Stewart wannabe when it comes to entertaining. As a child, I loved setting the table for my parents’ guests, and my tables became even more elaborate when I married and started to entertain in my own home. No guest ever leaves a dinner party without a handmade favor. And I spend hours preparing the meals I serve, frantic that I get it right.

To Be a Saint: Imitate Christ
To Be a Saint: Imitate Christ
By Katie Zalany
Mother Teresa’s recent canonization calls to mind what it takes to become a saint. We tend to put saints on a pedestal that we can’t live up to. In actuality, we all could be saints if we imitated Christ and strived to be as holy as we can possibly be – if we truly listened to the Lord’s call for our lives and lived it out.

I'm Not Who You Think I Am
I'm Not Who You Think I Am
By Joe Richard
I am one of the most misunderstood figures in the New Testament. I have been called a repentant whore. Some people say I was the adulterous woman whom The Master saved from a death by stoning. I was accused of wasting an alabaster jar of expensive ointment by rubbing it on my poor Master's tired feet. I was maligned by many throughout the history of Christianity.

Waiting in the Bread Line
Waiting in the Bread Line
By Caroline Godin
I was quietly watching the Consecration at Mass, my arm holding my seven-year-old as though his exhaustion was causing him to melt into the floor. Seven is so very exhausting! My daughter was half paying attention, which was an improvement from last year when she was preparing for First Communion.

Who Is This Nun?
Who Is This Nun?
By Joni Johnson
If you have read any of my previous articles, you will know that I was raised Protestant, and remained so until our family became Catholic in 2007. In that paradigm, the figure of Mother Teresa was an enigma to me.

I see God!
I see God!
By Kathy Lamb
I conscientiously pray and as I pray I think, why do I pray or rather how dare I be so presumptions as to address the Almighty! Insignificant creature that I am. If God showed me a half second glimpse of his power, I would probably hide my face and fall to the ground or stand before the might of God crying, shaking, trembling, my teeth chattering.

This College Kid Can Teach All of Us a Lesson*
This College Kid Can Teach All of Us a Lesson*
By Larry Peterson
Most Catholics know of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The Society has been helping people in need for over 180 years. What most Catholics do not know is that St. Vincent de Paul is not the founder of the society. It is simply named after him because of his lifelong example of Christian charity. So, if it was not founded by St. Vincent de Paul where did it come from? How did it begin?

God Floods Louisiana with Grace
God Floods Louisiana with Grace
By Sherry Kenner
Life on the Louisiana bayous is quite serene. Summers are hot and long, but tranquil and beautiful. A bayou is a slow moving body of water. There are many bayous in southern Louisiana. The water is a murky brown color and does not seem to be moving at all.

Charity is no substitute for Justice Withheld
By Eric Wojtkun
"Charity is no substitute for justice withheld." - St Augustine. With this simple statement we can understand most of the dysfunction in the world arising from modernism and its variant philosophies.

I Have Come To Set the World on Fire.
I Have Come To Set the World on Fire.
By Mary Rivers
Jesus’ statement of fire is the fire of his love; it is powerful, all consuming in Christ’s love for his Father and his creation. Jesus wants the whole world to burn with the intensity of love he has for his Father and man.

Taking a closer look at Our Lord, the Shepherd
Taking a closer look at Our Lord, the Shepherd
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
It’s a familiar, but perhaps too familiar, concept that we seem to overlook and gloss over when it is read or heard. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)

The Assumption of Joseph
The Assumption of Joseph
By Dennis P McGeehan
August 15 is the date the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates the Assumption of Mary into Heaven Body and Soul. It was Pope Pius XII who on November 1, 1950, declared this to be a dogmatic teaching of the Church. This teaching makes sense on so many levels that as early as the fourth century it was a popular belief among the faithful that Mary was brought body and soul into heaven

How Catholic Geeks Schooled Me On Love #TOBTalk
How Catholic Geeks Schooled Me On Love #TOBTalk
By Karee Santos
I first encountered Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body (TOB) in New York City during the late 1990s, when I was still a practicing Episcopalian. The vibrant Catholic scene teemed with young professionals at the top of their game, working, playing, and praying in the city that never sleeps.

Most Blessed Saint Anthony of Padua
Most Blessed Saint Anthony of Padua
By Michelle Nicholl
Do you ever find yourself frantically running around from place to place, like a chicken with its head cut off, looking for something that somehow you've managed to lose or misplace again? Do you ever find yourself getting more and more anxious by the minute because you can't find it, and begin to wonder if it's lost forever?
