A Child Shall Lead Them
A Child Shall Lead Them
By Sherry Kenner
Over the years, I have enjoyed watching and listening to Mother Angelica on EWTN. Mother was feisty, funny, and faithful. I especially loved her Bible storytelling skills. She made the scriptures come to life and lovingly described the first apostles as ordinary, average men with many faults and weaknesses.

A "call" or should I say "fall" to conversion
A "call" or should I say "fall" to conversion
By Jacob Escobedo
There is so much that we can learn from St. Paul; not only from his several epistles which make up most of the New Testament, but from his experience on the road to Damascus.

The Gift of the Eucharist
The Gift of the Eucharist
By Marie Murphy Duess

It is the most important of all seven sacraments because in receiving the Eucharist, we are embracing the very body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ and become one with Him.

Behold Our Mother, Behold the Queen. .
Behold Our Mother, Behold the Queen. .
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
Full of Grace, those words chosen by God to address Mary, yes chosen by God and not by the angel himself, since an angel is a messenger of God, and as a messenger, he does not transmit his message, but the message of his Lord, the Master and Lord of the angel is God, and the message the angel proclaimed, was and is the message of God.

Quiet miracles: lessons learned in grief
Quiet miracles: lessons learned in grief
By Ginny Kochis
I was three years old the first time my father had open heart surgery, a quadruple bypass that saved him from a widow maker. My memory of that event comes from a photograph. We’re in a wheelchair outside the hospital’s main entrance, he with his trademark goofy grin and dark hair; me in a blue and white pinafore perched comfortably in his lap.

Katherine of Christ Crucified
By Kathy Lamb

Was this a Test of Faith?
Was this a Test of Faith?
By Eric Wojtkun
Yesterday as I ate lunch I overheard two men discussing faiths other than their own Evangelical beliefs. One gent was a little louder than the other, and I could clearly hear someone in his past incorrectly explained a number of Catholic beliefs to him.
