Ad Asperam
Ad Asperam
By Nicholas Modelski
I've heard many folks remark that looking up at the vast expanse of the sky, with thousands of seen and unseen stars, they feel insignificant and tiny. How can one person out of billions, on one planet out of trillions (one rock that happens to host life), matter at all in the larger scheme of things. I, however, like to take a different view on things.

The Virgin Mary's Coming Triumph In Muslim Hearts
By Nate Lauer
On September 11th 1683, Vienna was besieged by Islamic Ottoman Turks. Christians throughout Europe prayed the Rosary in the midst of a desperate situation.

A Big Day!
A Big Day!
By Michelle Watkins
This is a big day for me. I just finished reading the "Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska-Divine Mercy in My Soul". Considering the book is over 700 pages this was not a quick task. Filled with footnotes, it certainly is informative. And it's a work that must receive your full attention.

Why I Am Catholic
Why I Am Catholic
By Allison Welch
I don’t remember how it came up in conversation but I’ll never forget what was said. It is one of those memories that mysteriously becomes fully present upon recall. A gathering of young mothers starved for adult companionship, sitting around a kitchen table and sharing each other’s lives, nourishing one another with words.

Is There Evidence That God Exists?
Is There Evidence That God Exists?
By Steven R. Hemler
Whether God exists is a fundamental question in life and one we often seek to answer personally and in conversations with those we love. Many people find objective evidence of God’s existence in what’s been called “The 3 Cs”: cosmos, consciousness, and conscience.

Why Should We Pray?
Why Should We Pray?
By Bill Dunn
Throughout the Bible, believers are commanded to pray. Many years ago, when our kids were little, one of my daughters asked, “Why should we pray?” Caught off guard, I employed a variation of my favorite answer to my children (which is, “Cuz I said so, that’s why!”) by replying, “Cuz Jesus said so, that’s why.”

Roses in March
Roses in March
By Jill Frankenberry, Ph.D.
I was born in Manhattan and raised in Greenwich Village. At age five, I had double pneumonia and (what was later, in my adulthood, diagnosed as pericarditis). I was too ill to be put into the hospital. One day I had an apparition. I have had at least three of these and I need to explain to you what an “apparition” or “vision” is. (I will write more about my apparitions in future.)

My Child... The Saint?
My Child... The Saint?
By Emily H. Davis
It's amazing the connection children have with Our Lord. What if we all listened and took it seriously? When my child, Christopher was four, our normal bedtime routine took an hour (at least). Bath, Bible story, singing songs (some that we made up), telling stories (that I made up), and whatever else he could get me to do in order to delay bedtime.

Be A Saint, Be Yourself
Be A Saint, Be Yourself

Praying to the saints is one of the many beautiful teachings of the Catholic Church. Saints inspire us, uplift us, and help us draw closer to Christ. Saints give us an ideal to strive for--they help us understand that we too can become like Christ.

Encountering Christ In Community, The New Mystic
By Nathan James Rawlins
The activity of the community is obvious, we must build the Church! Ironically, there is no better opportunity to experience God on the personal level than by participating in the activities of the Church at the communal level.

She Knew
She Knew
By Mallory Hoffman
From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet.

Understanding Peter and the Keys
Understanding Peter and the Keys
By David Vermont
In Matthew 16 is the “Peter the Rock” passage. Because this verse is so often debated amongst Catholics and Protestants here is primer on understanding how to explain the Catholic understanding of the exchange. We will review it line by line. 13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

St. Jude
St. Jude
By Pat McDermott
Many of us know that St. Jude is the patron saint of impossible causes. Did you ever pray to St. Jude and wonder if it is impossible, why am I praying? Did you ever wonder if nothing is impossible with God, then what causes does St. Jude help with?

How the Carmelites Rescued me from the New Age
How the Carmelites Rescued me from the New Age
By Anabelle Hazard
I lost my marbles between the pages of my first new age book, a dizzying but feel good fiction novel. Naturally, with a few marbles short, I picked up another new age fiction, and this time the confusion blended with some fascination, so that I kept returning to the new age shelf in the bookstore, holding my breath for Oprah’s next recommendation.

A Re-Awaking of Spirit
A Re-Awaking of Spirit
By Lorrie McNickle
For the past year and a half I have been on an extended faith journey. I say “extended” because as a Cradle Catholic and “mostly” practicing one, I have felt a pull to learn and dive more deeply into the depths and doctrines of our Faith and why we have them. What I have discovered has rocked my world!
