Prayers We All Should Know: The Guardian Angel Prayer
Prayers We All Should Know: The Guardian Angel Prayer
By Trish Stukbauer
As Catholics, we are blessed to share a rich and vibrant prayer heritage that has accumulated over literally thousands of years. Over time, many of these prayers have been sadly neglected or just not taught – and as a result, not said – as often as they once were.

Faith in Evidence
Faith in Evidence
By Mike Bugal
One of the mistakes that the world makes about Catholicism is that our Faith is a blind faith. In other words, they think that we believe what we believe in spite of the evidence. The whole purpose of those of us involved the field of Apologetics is to demonstrate the evidence for the faith as far as it’s possible to do so.

How I became a weekday sacristan!
How I became a weekday sacristan!
By Kathy Lamb
If the only thing we own is our sinfulness, then our forgetfulness, mess ups, mix ups are gifts from God and serve a purpose. Yes, Jesus asks us to be perfect as he is perfect.

St. Thomas- Gifts of Doubt and Faith
St. Thomas- Gifts of Doubt and Faith

St. Peter's Diary
St. Peter's Diary
By Ed Knauf
As I was meditating and praying on these readings, I imagined - what if these same archeologists uncovered another ancient text, the ancient diary, or personal journal, of the same St. Peter who figures so prominently in today’s Gospel.

Lazarus and the Year of Mercy
Lazarus and the Year of Mercy
By C.L. Killgore
St. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, tells us that the wage of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Last month, on March 13, we had a reading from Matthew’s Gospel in which we learn that Jesus’ friend, Lazarus, has died. It’s been on my mind ever since.

Did the Gifts of the Spirit Disappear?
Did the Gifts of the Spirit Disappear?
By Mike Bugal
In the Book of Acts from the birth of the Church onward we see certain miraculous events occur. On the Day of Pentecost, the Disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues. There are various accounts in Acts of healings occurring by the Apostles via many different means. Saint Paul took three whole chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians to address the subject.

Eastertide: The 50 days of Easter

For most people, Easter is only one weekend in the year that begins with Good Friday and ends with Resurrection Sunday; or for more secular people, it is a long weekend to enjoy to the fullest - since many countries Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays.

Blessed Anthony Neyrot and the Perils of Marriage
Blessed Anthony Neyrot and the Perils of Marriage
By Christy Breedlove
Bl. Anthony Neyrot was a Dominican religious in the 15th century. He started off his adult life rather uneventful. He got wanderlust and moved around looking for the next adventure. Later he was captured by a Muslim ruler and even, for a time, disavowed Catholicism and married a Turkish lady. He started to translate the Koran (into what I’m not sure) but when he found out a Dominican friend died,

Transubstantiation, Scripture and Church Authority
Transubstantiation, Scripture and Church Authority
By Nicholas LaBanca
Recently, I seem to be posting thoughts that must be considered controversial. This is the second time in a row I've had a lengthy discussion after writing an article on the Real Presence. What I've come to realize, is that some non-Catholic Christians are unable to reconcile their sola scriptura beliefs with the doctrine of the Real presence,

Prayer Advice From The Saints
Prayer Advice From The Saints
By Kathy Lamb
When I had my conversion I started to see things differently, more clearly but I didn’t understand how I could be having a conversion. I was baptized a Catholic as a baby. My parents struggled to send all their ten kids to Catholic school. I always considered myself a Catholic but spiritually I wasn’t as connected to God as I should be.

The Four Chaplains
The Four Chaplains
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Before boarding the United States Army Transport ship Dorchester back in January, 1943, a Dutch Reformed Chaplain named Poling asked his father to pray for him, "Not for my safe return, that wouldn't be fair. Just pray that I shall do my duty...never be a coward...and have the strength, courage and understanding of men. Just pray that I shall be adequate."

Final Exam for St. Peter
Final Exam for St. Peter
By Bill Dunn
Ever since the apostle Simon Peter enrolled in M.I.T. (the Messiah Institute of Theology), he had been one of Professor Jesus’ favorite students. “The boy’s a bit hard-headed,” Jesus would comment in the faculty lounge, “but he’s got a heart of gold. I expect great things from him.”

Ignatius of Antioch and the Way of the Cross...
By Carlos Espinosa
It is one thing to say you are willing to die for your beliefs but it's another to actually do it. As far as I'm concerned, that's the true measure of a man; having the faith and fortitude to stand up for one's beliefs, even at the risk of certain peril.
