One Unplanned Pregnancy Saved Us All!
By Lorrie McNickle
One unplanned pregnancy saved us all! It is truly remarkable how when we relinquish all we have and are to our Heavenly Father what he makes of us, and what fruit we bear.

Mercy in the Midst of Horror
By Anthony Cecil, Jr.
Just a few years ago, I was a snobby high school student. A group from my school was in Washington, DC, and part of the trip was going to a museum. The selected place was the National Holocaust Museum, but we were told that the group from my school could go to a different one, especially since none of us really wanted to go to the Holocaust museum.

Showing Gratitude for the Ultimate Gift
By Linda Kracht
All human persons share one ‘characteristic’ in common; regardless of ethnicity, country of origin, age, political party or spiritual or moral values and beliefs. What is that one thing? Take a guess. If you guessed that we are each a gift [freely bestowed upon our parents, siblings, and even fellow citizens] you have guessed correctly.

5 Minute Gospel; God Loves You
By Charlie Johnston
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) This is probably the most famous verse from the Bible, and rightfully so, it is known by both believers and non-believers alike. In this one verse we see what could be called the sum total of the Gospel; that God loves us enough to die for us.

Mary's Resurrection: A Mother's Heart Made Whole and New!
By James Berkon
Made New. What beautiful words! They are words we not only long to hear but make our own! Redemption, second chances, a new start are at the very core of what it is to be human. The opportunity to make things right again make life worth living.

The First 3 Joyful Mysteries: Analogy of all Human History?
By Scott Pauline
If the birth of Christ symbolizes, by Advent Tradition, the Second Coming of Christ, perhaps the whole time period in months from the outset, that is, from the conception of St John the Baptist, all the way through to that same birth of Christ is an image of the whole Divine Plan.

Pregnancy, Wonderful and Beautiful! Revelation of the Developing Old Testament?
By Scott Pauline
just as a beloved lady must carry a child in her womb for nine months, so, in any world that would happen to Fall and that was to then receive an Incarnation from God, I believe that there would need to be the same nine theological phases of history to prepare for Incarnate One.

Love Makes the Word Go Round
By Linda Kracht
After sitting down to write this article I googled: number of couples still married after forty years. Some interesting references popped up but the one that caught my eye was titled 40 Lessons from Forty Years of Marriage by Dennis Rainey. I shouldn’t have read it! Not because I didn’t agree with him but because I did. Rainey perfectly captured points I planned to write about.

Reality Check: Does Having Judeo-Christian Values Make You a Candidate for Genocide?
By Larry Peterson
The words--annihilation, extermination, carnage, and slaughter, to name a few, are synonyms for the word "Holocaust". The word "genocide"not invented until 1941, fits right in there. But none of those words bring us to the core of what those words truly represent. They are the by-product of the malevolent, hideous, and hate filled evil that consumes and takes control of certain human beings.

The Gifts of the Spirit for Mothers
By Ginny Kochis
I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at thirteen. My sponsor had been in a car accident a week or so prior, so my father stood in as a proxy. He placed his hand on my shoulder during the rite of confirmation, its heft a testament of an earthly and heavenly father’s love.

God; a mystery yet knowable
By Charlie Johnston
We speak of the mystery of God and the Holy Trinity, but what does this mean? Didn't Jesus reveal all that we need to know? Hasn't the Holy Spirit been sent to lead us "into all truth"(John 16:13)? Like most matters pertaining to Catholicism, the answer is both/and, not either/or.

Suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation.
By Troy Kroening
We question why suffering exists. Particularly, why do the innocent suffer? Everyone needs the Divine Physician. We are all ill. The sickness that is original sin affects us all, even those who appear completely innocent. Original sin does not discriminate. It affects us all at the beginning of our being.

The Broken Nun
By Marie Murphy Duess
I knew it the moment my daughter said, “Oh, no, Mama...” She was washing her hands in the kitchen sink. I didn’t hear it crash... I heard nothing but, “Oh, no, Mama...” and my heart sank.

By Nicholas LaBanca
The universal Catholic Church has many different ways of expressing the fullness of the Truth handed down by Christ to His Apostles and their successors. We see these different ways of expressing our Catholic faith manifested in the Churches of the West and the East,

First, you pray!
By Norma Elaine Robertson
I think it's really crazy how God gives. God is very generous, so when you ask for something you need to be prepared for something generous! Every day I pray to use the gifts that He has given me to help others, to help my brothers and sisters, to build the body of His Church, to keep His body moving!

Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
By Greg Schlueter
One may have reason to doubt the real power of Jesus Christ alive and present. 90% disappear after Confirmation. 75% of Catholics no longer attend Mass. Only 13% of Mass-going Catholics even pray before meals. Or, perhaps like the origin of just about every superhero, the power is there, we have it, but we have no idea what we have.
