What Kind of Flower are You?
By Michelle Watkins
There are probably hundreds of personality quizzes online that one can take. You’ve probably seen them and tried a few for fun. “W1960’s Song are You?”, “If You were a Dog, What Type would You Be?”, “What Color is Your Personality?” and on the list goes….

Choose more than the Morsel
Choose more than the Morsel
By Susan Skinner
I read the above verse earlier this week, and something has been sticking out at me all week, so I decided to write it down. It’s the fact that Judas, the betrayer, who walked with Jesus, took a morsel from Jesus right before he allowed Satan to enter him. And he did not stick around for the Institution of the Eucharist.

The Seven Signposts on the Highway to Hell, Part II
By Mark Connolly
It would be nice if the road to Hell were clearly marked with something like "Hell, This Way." If only it were that obvious. But, it's not that obvious, is it.

4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
4 Ways We Pick Our Poison in Media
By Erin Franco
When it comes to books, movies and television, many of us have had our guilty pleasures at one time or another. I sure have. There comes a point though when we can't reconcile consuming junk and then turning around and putting out goodness. There's comes a point when God answers our prayer to "search me O Lord," and He asks us to take a hard look at what we let in to our hearts and minds.

Trusting in God and Giving Him Praise, Even In Times of Trouble
Trusting in God and Giving Him Praise, Even In Times of Trouble
By Kim-Thérèse Lee
We need to trust in the Lord, and know that “there is a time for everything…and all will be done in God’s time” (Ecclesiastes 3). So often, we react too fast to situations. We fail to trust that God has a plan for us.

We're All Saints
We're All Saints
By Mariel Roersma
Each time we go to Mass, or pray either the Apostle's Creed or the Nicene Creed, we say, "I believe in the Communion of Saints." The Communion of Saints includes Saints on Earth, and in Heaven. I think that when people think of the Saints, they think about those who have been canonized, and are in Heaven. But there are Saints on Earth too. Those of us here in the Body of Christ are Saints.

How Come You Catholics Worship Mary?
How Come You Catholics Worship Mary?
By Bill Dunn
“How come you Catholics worship Mary and treat her as a goddess? The Holy Trinity is not a quartet. The worst sin of all is idolatry, and you Catholics commit that sin all the time when you worship a mere human being, and when you bow down and worship statues of her.

Poetry: "The Visit"
By Frank J. Maduri
A woman, pregnant, travels alone on a journey, Through difficult terrain, rocky and desolate, She walked in sandals, the stones hard and hot, Her intended destination was her cousin’s home

Blah, Blah, Blah
Blah, Blah, Blah
By Robert Hug
So you’ve read Thomas Aquinas, Cervantes, Dante, Chaucer and Shakespeare? Blah Blah Blah. Lately on Catholic web sites, I’ve been seeing so much self righteousness and so much anger and so much bitterness. All of which is passive aggressively wrapped up in a bunch of fancy rhetoric.

Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Kingdom Come
By Carol Ann Chybowski
I recently had the opportunity to study a small portion of St. Teresa of Avila’s writings on the Lord’s Prayer. I learned many things from this study that I’ve been meditating on for the last few weeks, but there is one line that I return to a bit more often than others: thy kingdom come…

Today we celebrate the Day of Pentecost and we reflect upon the Holy Spirit, who is God and the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. Today we will also reflect upon what the Day of Pentecost itself signifies for the Church as a whole and for us as individuals.

What Holds The World Together
What Holds The World Together
By Judy Landrieu Klein
Cut away the umbilical cord, but don’t cut away the heart. Because the heart—the feminine heart—helps hold the world together. I watched today with tears in my eyes as the women of the Our Lady of the Lake Altar Society processed up the center aisle of the church, carrying roses and bouquets for the annual May crowning while singing hymns to Our Lady.

The Healing of a Soul
The Healing of a Soul

Empire of the Cross; Layers of Our Faith
Empire of the Cross; Layers of Our Faith
By Caitlin Bootsma
If you’ve ever visited Rome and had a sense of deja vu or that you were somehow “home”, you wouldn’t be the only one. Many Catholics feel this connection to the Eternal City, despite not having a drop of Italian blood in them. This feeling is reinforced by stumbling upon millennia of Church history contained within hundreds of Churches, rich liturgical art, and even roadside shrines or monuments.

The Living Presence Of Jesus
The Living Presence Of Jesus
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru
Do you believe that the Risen Lord Jesus is with you at this very moment? After Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples of Jesus went out to share the Good News of the Resurrection. Filled with the Holy Spirit they knew Jesus was alive and His living Presence was still with them. Stephen sees Him as he is being stoned to death.
