"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
"Temporal punishments for sin", what does that mean?
By De Maria
In the “prayer to dead saints” article, someone is asking the meaning of the term, “temporal punishment for sin”. I sympathize. Because I had the hardest time understanding that, as well. But then, someone said, “Just think of it as TEMPORARY punishment for sin”. And voila! I understood.

Lessons in Humility from My Stomach
By Teresa Hurst
Anyone who’s been Catholic for more than a week knows to be careful for what you pray. Once, in a moment of foolish virtue, I prayed for humility. “Humility is truth!” my patron St. Teresa of Avila tells us. Sounds great doesn’t it?

Saint Elizabeth - What a woman!
Saint Elizabeth - What a woman!
By Sherry Kenner
Elizabeth is a special name in my family. My daughter and granddaughter share this saint name along with many other family members. Elizabeth, wife of Zacharia and mother of John the Baptist, is a great role model for women of all ages. She would be considered very counter-culture in today’s society, which teaches women can only influence and weld power if they practice sex, contraception

12 Early Church Quotes That Will Challenge Protestants
By Arnold Scott
It is very exciting to be in full communion with the very same community that Jesus Christ established. Whether in 40 AD or today, this community is the very same one that has been continued through apostolic succession, unity with St. Peter and his successors, the sacraments, the preaching of the Word of God in Scripture, Sacred Tradition in the liturgy, the creeds, ecumenical councils,

Prayers We All Should Know: The Anima Christi
Prayers We All Should Know: The Anima Christi
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 that once were mainstays of our faith have been sadly neglected or just not taught – and as a result, not said – as often as they once were. One of these is a prayer that dates back to the 14th century – the Anima Christi.

Striving for Stress-Free Prayer
Striving for Stress-Free Prayer
By AnneMarie Miller
Like many Catholics, prayer has often been a part of my life. From Mass and the Sacraments to novenas and Rosaries, the routine recitation of various prayers comes quite natural to me. Prayer often brings peace to my soul and to other people, but at times, it has done the opposite: I have actually found myself adding to stress through my prayers. I’ll petition God, place my intentions before Him,

I am currently re-reading St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori's great work "Uniformity with God's Will". This is such a beautiful reflection and teaching on the importance of uniting ourselves entirely to the will of God.

An Introduction to the Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas, Part 12
By Bob Hunt
After the death of Thomas Aquinas in 1274, opponents of his teaching emerged almost immediately, especially among the Franciscans. His confreres among the Dominicans came to Thomas’ defense, joined later by the Jesuits, and for a great while these two camps defined the place of Thomas in Catholic philosophical and theological discussion.

Making Sense Of Suffering - Part 2: Joy in the Midst of Suffering
Making Sense Of Suffering - Part 2: Joy in the Midst of Suffering
By Alex Brittain
In the last essay, I covered what Suffering is. To summarize, Suffering is more than just pain, it is agony. Suffering may be temporary, but it can also be long lasting. We experience suffering via four forms: Physical, Emotional, Psychological, and Spiritual. Sometimes one form leads into another form or it can be a combination of multiple forms.
