By Robert (Bob) Green

Why I Chose St. Paul as the Patron Saint of Investors
Why I Chose St. Paul as the Patron Saint of Investors
By Bill Ulivieri
St. Paul perfectly summarizes the results of every study conducted on investor behavior published in the last 20 or so years. We buy at the highs and we panic out at the lows. We rotate through investment fads just like we change diets and exercise plans.

Christ leads the Church, therefore the Church is infallible

What If That Curious Story Really Is True?
What If That Curious Story Really Is True?
By Bill Dunn
Easter Sunday is almost here. Our culture celebrates with eggs, the symbol of new life. And with bunnies, the symbol of fertility. And with lilies and other flowers, the symbol of springtime renewal. And with 30 pounds of chocolate per person and fancy new clothes, the symbols of a consumer society obsessed with gluttony and covetousness.

Where does Jesus teach Scripture alone?
Where does Jesus teach Scripture alone?
By De Maria
If we look through Scripture, we find that Jesus selected a group of men. Then He organized them into a cohesive company of men to which He then gave a mission to accomplish. What was that mission? Was it that they should write down all which He commanded and hand it out so that others could read it and learn for themselves what He taught?

From March 25, 2016 - April 2, 2016: Bringing (which?) Souls to Jesus
From March 25, 2016 - April 2, 2016: Bringing (which?) Souls to Jesus
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
Although there are different kinds of prayer, if you are like me, you spend a lot of time asking the Lord for this or that special favor, which isn’t a “bad” thing. For the Lord Himself said: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be

Joy and Sorrow: Essential Paradox
Joy and Sorrow: Essential Paradox
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Long before I came back to the church, during those years in which I considered myself an atheist, I discovered the writings of Kahil Gibran (only after I joined the Catholic Church did I learn that Gibran had been Catholic) ; there was one meditation of Gibran’s in particular that I loved: On Joy and Sorrow.

Jesus is either God or He is a liar who died in his sins
Jesus is either God or He is a liar who died in his sins
By De Maria
And Jesus provided the evidence to prove that He is God by raising the dead, healing the sick, multiplying the fish and the loaves and turning water to wine. These things were testified by many witnesses. And His followers, many of them could also perform such miracles as he empowered them to perform.

St. Nicholas Owen and Where's Waldo

How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
How to Explain Mercy (and Good Friday) to Children
By Grace Mazza Urbanski
Working with children (and raising a batch with my husband), I've picked up a few critical pieces of information about how children learn. For example, children require simple explanations in terms they can understand instinctively. Children also have little patience for information or activities that seem irrelevant to their concerns; they learn new concepts best when they can relate to the topic

Obedience unto death
Obedience unto death
By De Maria
Many of you know that Jesus obeyed God, the Father. But most of you, perhaps, have not thought about the fact, that Jesus also obeyed man. I’ll tell you a bit more about that later. You’ll hear a lot of people say, “We must obey God and not man.” But that is not what Jesus did. Jesus obeyed man and God. Both
