Finding God's will in the novena
Finding God's will in the novena
By Ginny Kochis
The first time I prayed a novena I was 24 and on my way to work. My father was in the hospital, a semi-annual occurrence for a heart patient with a medical history longer than the Mississippi and twice as wide. One week prior, I had driven past the entrance to my parents’ neighborhood, only to come upon an ambulance on the side of the road.

Finding the real Soul of the Apostolate
By Norman Fulkerson
The present scandals in the Church have many people looking for positive solutions to the multifaceted problems which beset the Bride of Christ, not realizing that the true solution will only come from Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, His life within us and fidelity to His teachings.

The Power of Three
The Power of Three
By Joseph P. Thomas
Lucy, Francis and Jacinta – three children who saw a vision of Mary and were compelled to change the world. It is fitting in this month of our Blessed Mother that we remember and recall what brought us to the modern age of the rosary.

Be Small
Be Small
By Susan Skinner
There is nothing so small as a child in the womb and a newborn child. A newborn child doesn’t know the world yet. They are completely helpless and all control is placed in another’s hands.

The Skull
The Skull
By Susan Skinner
Have you ever wondered why there are so many pictures of Saints with skulls? It seems so morbid, and yet, it is so profound. Most say it is because the Saints are contemplating their own mortality.

Nine (9) Thoughts, Inching Along To The Golden Rule
By Catherine M. J. Mary Evans
1. Love the Lord God: heart, soul and strength. Celestine is the Saint whose Mom asked her 12 kids which one would give her the joy of becoming a saint and he, as a little child, said that he would. Now, that's putting you're all into it.

Anchor yourself
Anchor yourself
By Susan Skinner
In my prayer of late, the Anchor keeps coming to me. Now, I have always known that the anchor is a symbol of hope.

Be in Communion-answering a Protestant
By Susan Skinner
I have always loved the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe by Octavio Ocampo. You can see all the people in the image, even down to her eyelids where you can see a sombrero on a man.

Can married People be Saints? - My year of walking with Saints
By Susan Skinner
As I mentioned in my last post I spent the better part of Christmas 2015 watching movies about Saints. I know that is what we are all called to be, that our ultimate goal is heaven, so I thought it would be good to see how these Saints lived their lives.

Our Faith In The Trinity
Our Faith In The Trinity
By Kathy Lamb
If we profess to believe in God but not Jesus, the Word Made Flesh or if we profess to believe in God but not The Holy Spirit, our guide and our comforter then we are professing a belief in an incomplete God.
