A Full Quiver - What's in it for me?
By Linda Kracht
Dave and I have talked with many young couples preparing for marriage; the question about when and how many children to have nearly always comes up. Some couples say they want to have kids right away while others say they would like to wait several years before having children.

Praying with the Bones of St. Charbel
Praying with the Bones of St. Charbel
By AnneMarie Miller
I stepped up the center aisle of the small church and moved towards the sanctuary. Candlelight danced off of a wooden box that stood in front of the altar. I stood before this box, transfixed. In this small reliquary lay fragments of the bones of St. Charbel, a 19th century Maronite Catholic. He spent over twenty years living as a hermit in Lebanon, where he was widely revered for his holiness.

Analysis of a conversion:  Three Tsunamis of Grace
By De Maria
Before I begin, I want to remind Catholics that the Doctrine of Grace alone is a false doctrine which Protestants invented in order to deny the authority of the Church, the authority of Priests, the efficacy of the Sacraments and the necessity of good works.

The Jewish things we do in the Catholic Church
The Jewish things we do in the Catholic Church
By De Maria
This is an “ablution”. In the Old Testament, Jewish Priests, the Levites, before they would enter the Temple of God, would wash themselves to purify of any uncleanness. Of course, we recognize this as the Sign of the Cross which we perform upon entering the Church.

Answers to four objections to the Catholic Church
Answers to four objections to the Catholic Church
By De Maria
The archaeological evidence for that period shows that all the first Churches practiced the same rites the Catholic Church practices today. They had the baptismal fonts, the altar, the holy water, the incense, the candles, the vessels, the vestments. All the same as the Catholic Church today. None of which any Protestants have today.

Opus
Opus
By Nathan James Rawlins
We are attempting to answer the question: what is the Church? In attempting to answer this question we look first to the episode of creation from Genesis chapter 2. The text constructs reality as we know it by using relationships and we can appreciate that Scripture picks up on the biological perspective in finding relation to all living things through the soil.

Metamorphosis and the Post Vatican II Church
By Nathan James Rawlins
The Monarch butterfly is a magnificent creature. It lives to migrate as many other creatures do, following the milkweed bloom and spending the winters in Mexico. The migration is never really complete though, it is both continuous and mysterious. If we begin our observation with the Monarch leaving Mexico and heading back towards Canada

Do You Long for a ‘Burning Bush' Moment?
By Bill Dunn
Do you ever have times when it seems like God is so distant, you start to wonder if He even hears your prayers? Well, you’re not alone. Even the great saint Mother Teresa went through long spells where she could not sense the presence of God.

Can you be Engaged? Can you "Get It"?
Can you be Engaged? Can you "Get It"?
By Lorrie McNickle
We just don’t get it and we are not engaging ourselves. Most of us remain very lukewarm Catholics, and not just in our daily practice of our Faith, but in our weekly obligation of Mass.

Who is that woman Babylon?
Who is that woman Babylon?
By De Maria
Protestants claim that the woman, Babylon, in Revelations, Chapters 17 and 18, is a reference to the Catholic Church. A study of the Scriptures does not bear this out.

Blessed William Carter
By Christy Breedlove
I like to read about dead people—obscure saints in particular. Odd macabre hobby but it’s not usually something that will get me admitted to a mental health facility, unless I start communing with the dead. I try to find a correlation between my obscure saint of the week and my harried life.
