St. Senan and the Bad Adele Impersonator
St. Senan and the Bad Adele Impersonator
By Christy Breedlove
On March 8th, the Church honors St. Senan. He’s an obscure Irish saint who lived in the Middle Ages. Most overlook this guy. St. John of God has the same feast day and John seems more important. March 8th is also my birthday. Every Dominican sister from my kindergarten class to 8th grade at St. Mary’s School in Orange, Texas always commented on how lucky I was to have a birthday as

Pope Saint Cornelius
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope Fabian was martyred by the emperor Decius on January 20, 250. The persecuction of Christians was extreme for the next fourteen months, and the Chair of Peter remained vacant. About March, 251, the persecution lessened, probably because Decius was away, trying to fight his new rivals, the Goths

The Bucket List
The Bucket List
By Michelle Watkins
The concept of the 'bucket list' has always eluded me. For one, it strikes me as somewhat morbid to make an official list of things to accomplish prior to one's 'kicking the bucket'. And too, I always wonder what one does if they've achieved the list and still are quite alive. Do they create another list?

When you do it to the least of my Brethren..
When you do it to the least of my Brethren..
By David Torkington
The Spirituality of the Middle Ages was deeply influenced by a story that everybody knew from their childhood. It was the story of a Roman soldier and of his act of compassion for a fellow human being. The Roman soldier was later to become St Martin, Bishop of Tours, who was born at the beginning of the fourth century.

Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus
Resurrection Evidence: It's Effect on Saul of Tarsus
By Mike Bugal
There was one more Post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus Christ of which we are given testimony, and its source bears stark witness to its ultimate reality. Those who have been friends, relatives and followers of Christ could well be expected to affirm that He rose from the dead. But Saul of Tarsus was not one of these… in fact, just the opposite.

Learning about Faith from the Shadows
Learning about Faith from the Shadows
By Eric Wojtkun
Shadows may give us a little insight into the theological virtue of faith. In a shadow we have evidence of things unseen. Scientists use the observation of a shadow on the moon during an eclipse to begin a search for the substantive event causing the eclipse.

Infant Baptism and implied consent
Infant Baptism and implied consent
By De Maria
Earlier this year, we went through our annual first aid and CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) training. And, for the hundredth time, they mentioned a concept which I had heard before, but which I hadn’t connected to our faith before.

Skip To The End
Skip To The End
By Andrew Decker
*WARNING. This article contains spoilers about your eternal salvation. When I was in 4th grade, my class was reading a book together for English. An early chapter ended in a cliff-hanger, and our teacher asked us to draw a picture of what we thought was going to happen next.

Peter and The Keys
Peter and The Keys
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Once Peter has been handed the keys to the Kingdom, Jesus harshly-even cruelly, rebukes him for his most understandable response to hearing Christ predict his own horrific suffering, rejection, humiliation and execution. Mark writes that Peter "took him aside and began to rebuke him."

The Whole World is a Friary
By David Torkington
When St Francis of Assisi had rebuilt a tumbledown little church given to him by the Benedictines, he called it St Mary of the Angels. It was here, over eight hundred years ago, that he heard God speaking to him through the Gospels while attending Mass.
