What does the Bible Teach About Mary?
What does the Bible Teach About Mary?
By Sherry Kenner
This passage from scripture speaks volumes as to the importance of Mary to God’s plan for humanity. Prior to Jesus winning grace for mankind, Mary is “full of grace”. The Creator had a special purpose for this woman. She was to become the new ark of the new covenant. The Word of God would live in her womb for nine months, mixing with her blood and her substance.

The Body and Blood: Super Symbol or Super-Natural?
By Bill Dunn
This weekend at Mass we celebrate the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. The second reading, from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, describes what Jesus did at the Last Supper: “The Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’

Ascend with Me
Ascend with Me
By Mary Rivers
Every parting causes sadness, sorrow too; A separation, inaccessible, it seems. Yet, Apostles, everyone, saw Christ the Lord-His presence within them in a new powerful way.

My Covenant with Jesus.
My Covenant with Jesus.
By Kathy Lamb
Dear Jesus, You know my favorite beatitude “Blessed is the pure of heart for they shall see God.” Flood me with purity of heart so nothing I say or do will offend you. Fill me with sadness if I become negligent and do something to offend my God for you are my light and my life. You are the sweetness of my soul!”

From Eucharist to Evolution
From Eucharist to Evolution
By Mike Morris
It is no mystery that the central sacrament of Catholic life is the Eucharist. This institution has been the focal point of the Church since Christ scandalized thousands by imploring them to eat his flesh. But for the person who accepts it, how does the mind reconcile? For one, there is the necessity for an active decision to accept Christ's real presence in the Sacrament.

Heaven's Second Greatest Saint: Saint Joseph
Heaven's Second Greatest Saint: Saint Joseph
By Nate Lauer
He is a quiet saint, Saint Joseph. He was also apparently a quiet man in his life on Earth. He is a steadfast protector, seemingly in the background, but neither indifferent nor insignificant in the Gospel narratives that speak of his life and role in Holy Family with Jesus and Mary. Sacred Scripture records no spoken words of Saint Joseph.

Say Two Words and You'll Never Go to Hell
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A priest, questioning the First Communion class prior to their first confession, asked, "What's the first thing you must do to get your sins forgiven?" Little Tommy blurted out his answer with enthusiastic but naive conviction: "The first thing ya gotta do is go out and commit some sins!"

Justice
Justice
By Linda Kracht
We all realize that justice is a good thing. And it is needed in everyday matters. But can we promote justice if we are not sure what justice is within the social, criminal, or even international justice contexts?

On ambulance rides, St. John of the Cross, and learning how to love
By Ginny Kochis
I was supposed to host Junior Book Club that Friday. I’d spent most of the week trying to shorten my miles-long to-do list. It never seemed to get any shorter, and by the end of the week I was fixated on it. So much so that Thursday afternoon found me crafting a last minute plan of action.

False Peace – What Is That?
False Peace – What Is That?
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
Being About Peace -- On the day I became a secular final oblate of St. Benedict in 2014, the monks and oblates greeted me with their congratulations. Some of us said Pax to each other which is Latin for peace. The Pax greeting has been used for about 1500 years by the Benedictine brothers. So I wonder about the meaning when I say peace.

On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
On Christ Alone - The Parable of the Vine and Branches
By Adam Crawford
Two of the five solae (only's) resulting from the Protestant Reformation are that of solus Christus or, "Christ alone", and soli Deo gloria or, "glory to God alone". These two seem to have been added at some point well after the initial three (the bible alone, faith alone, and grace alone), but we see them commonly included in a list of five solae by the middle of the twentieth century.
