The Ascension: The gift of the Lord
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
After the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the glory of the Lord continued to shine as he appeared to his disciples, appeared to thousands, allowed Thomas to touch his nailed scarred hands, and then revealed his glory through the beautiful Ascension.

The Slippery Slope We Should Fear Above All Others
By Mishka Góra
The problem with Confession is that we have become so inured to sin that we don’t always recognise our need to confess. The world is so full of glaring and frightful sins that our own pale in comparison and are easily overlooked.

Happy Birthday to Us - Pentecost Sunday
By Jeffrey Battiston
On Sunday May 24, we will celebrate Pentecost Sunday. The day we remember the Holy Spirit coming down into the world and into our hearts. The feast that we celebrate is considered by many to be the birthday of the Church, and for good reason. An amazing miracle took place that day; the miracle of the establishment of the Church itself.

Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for Us!
By Catholic365
It is sometimes hard to understand how much Our Heavenly Mother loves us and continues to try to get the attention of all her wayward children. Such was a time when she appeared to three shepherd children in 1917.

Faith, Transubstantiation, and cream of mushroom soup
By Faith-Full Writer
A priest once instructed me on what faith is, through an analogy. When I go shopping in a grocery store, if I want a can of cream of mushroom soup, I go to the soup aisle, pick out a can labeled "cream of mushroom," and head to the check out.

Discernment
By Lorrie McNickle
What a challenge this poses to us. What if God wants us where we really don’t want to go? What if it’s difficult? What if it tests our Virtues? What if it’s just downright unpleasant and hurtful? How do we know what is right and how do we discern God’s true calling for us?

I Love Being Catholic, and Here's Why!
By Mallory Hoffman
God, the Father: Creator of Heaven and Earth. Father Almighty. God of Love. One of three Persons in the Trinity. Through Him, all things were made. Jesus: The Son of the Living God, Begotten not made, one if being with the Father. Agreeing submitting His Will to the Father, Jesus suffered an horrific death for the sake of all humankind. “Not my Will,” He said, “But Your Will be done.”

Little Boy: Big Faith
By Caroline Godin
I just had the privilege of seeing the premiere of Little Boy courtesy of the Archdiocese of Boston’s generous benefactors who bought out the Burlington AMC for the night. While I couldn’t pass up a free movie in the theater, or a chance to take my youth group (and kids) out, I found the trailer to be charming as well. Seemed like a win-win.

The Bible and the Blessed Mother
By Nancy Marie Murray
Did you ever do something on a dare? Well, perhaps it was more a challenge than a dare in my case, but the effect was the same. When, after a long absence that began in my turbulent teenage years, I returned to the Catholic Church, my brother and I got into a conversation about faith. He, like many in my generation, had also left the Catholic Church, becoming a Baptist.

Captivated By Exuberant Easter Joy!
By Janet Moore
I have been captivated by the response of the crippled man who was healed through Peter and John in the Acts of the Apostles. During the first two days of the Easter Octave, the daily Mass readings shared the story of his healing, which relates that the man had been crippled from birth and had to be carried to the gate of the temple to beg for alms each day

A Patron Saint for California
By Justin Soutar
During an airborne press conference en route to the Philippines last January, Pope Francis revealed that he will canonize Blessed Junipero Serra, the heroic "Apostle of California," during his visit to the United States this coming September. As a Catholic who was born and raised in California, I have been prayerfully anticipating this historic occasion for many years.

Peter, Paul, and Mary: Biblical Blind Spots of Protestants
By Arnold Scott
Our friends in Protestant communities often have a true zeal for reading God's word in the Sacred Scriptures. To them I can only say, please keep it up! This is a gift from the Holy Spirit and you may find Biblical studies guiding you, as with so many before, on the path toward full communion with the Holy Catholic Church.

50 Biblical Reasons for Honoring Jesus Through Mary
By Dave Armstrong
St. Louis Marie de Montfort (one of the giants in the history of Catholic Marian devotion) wrote: We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek -- Jesus, her Son.

The rest of the Story: My Transformation into a Disciple of Christ
By Susan Skinner
Many of you already know the story of the murder of my friend Veronica. Her death truly sent me on a trajectory of intentional discipleship. But what many of you may not know, is that I had already, slowly started down that path. I would say for most of my life, I was “open” and sometimes “seeking” Christ. But I remained stagnant for a number of years, living in the worldly world,

Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained
By Bill Dunn
An interesting aspect of Catholicism is the fact the Catholic Church has the oldest, deepest, and most philosophically vibrant history of any Christian denomination. There are so many fascinating aspects of Catholic theology, tradition, and practices, that it would take a lifetime just to list them all, let alone learn and understand each one.
