It's All About Love of Christ (A Lenten Reflection with St Josemaría Escrivá)
It's All About Love of Christ (A Lenten Reflection with St Josemaría Escrivá)
By Nathan Barontini
Jesus. That one word sums up all of Catholicism. All the creeds, codes, and cult of the Church - the beauty of Catholic art (unmatched in human history), the glory of the great cathedrals of Europe (peerless among architectural artifacts), the wonderful complexity of Catholic philosophy and theology (you won't find a more rigorous intellectual system), the beauty of the Holy Sacrifice of Mass ..

Ordinary Saints
Ordinary Saints
By Mallory Hoffman
There are those among us who are called to greatness. When there is a job to be done, they lead the charge and give glory to God. They are called by God to sainthood. There are those who are called to sainthood, but they are called to the ordinary way of life.

Forget Cupid, Go St. Valentine!
By Melanie R. Cameron
In 2007, my husband and I traveled to Dublin on our honeymoon. We were blessed to be able to visit and to pray at the relics of St. Valentine quietly and beautifully displayed at a Carmelite Shrine in the heart of Dublin City. I say it's worth the trek.

Jesus shows us How to Love
Jesus shows us How to Love
By Kathy Wilmes
Soon, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day, a moment in our year in which we remember and cherish those persons to whom we have made a lifetime commitment. As we scan the Bible, we discover a God who is love, demonstrates love, and gives love freely to each and every one of us.

From Heaven, with Love: My Second Home, Lourdes, France
From Heaven, with Love: My Second Home, Lourdes, France
By Jill Frankenberry, Ph.D.
There are many places in this world, many I have seen, that are remarkable, unforgettable, and even contain miraculous articles. But my second home, the home of my heart, is Lourdes, France. I have been to Lourdes three times since October, 2012. I am now so familiar with it that last September I spent five days and five nights alone there. But there, I am never alone.

Lourdes, Gift of Salvation
By Bernice Pillart Dumitru
All of us have dear ones who may be sick or far from God. Pray for them on Wednesday, February 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and World Day of Prayer for the Sick. It was on a Thursday, February 11th in 1858, that fourteen year old Bernadette Soubirous saw a beautiful young girl in a niche at a rocky outcrop called Massabielle, about a half mile outside the town.

Who Did Peter Lose Faith In?
Who Did Peter Lose Faith In?
By Pat McDermott
My favorite scripture passage of all time is Matthew 14: 22-33 where Peter walks on water! The passage has all you could ask for in a dramatic story: the storm and the fear and the feeling of being out of control. Then the disciples see what they think could be a ghost and they really panic.

Dr. Jesus Offers Instant Cure
Dr. Jesus Offers Instant Cure
By Bill Dunn
In the Gospel reading at Mass this weekend, a leper came to Jesus, kneeled down, and begged Him, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus was moved with pity, and stretched out His hand to touch the leper. He said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” Scripture says, “The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.”

So Much Straw
So Much Straw
By Nicholas Modelski
It is customary for bloggers to introduce themselves in their first post and/or provide a sort of thematic overview for their writings. Of course, there's also a fancy biography of me to look at if you want to know more of my story, so I won't go too in depth. In fact, I'd prefer to reveal bits and pieces of myself as we go along. It's more fun that way after all, right?

Would You Like to Be Invited to a Cana Wedding?
By Elizabeth Thomas
Sometime ago, life had dragged me down, drained and emptied me and as I sat at Mass awaiting the reading of the Gospel---the Holy Spirit sent a whispered word into my mind. “LISTEN” Immediately the words were being read from John Chapter 2

Prayers for the Oppressed: A Visit From Our Lady
Prayers for the Oppressed: A Visit From Our Lady
By Brett Schmidt
I never wanted to be Catholic. In fact it was a last ditch effort to find a church before my husband and I started a family. I was terrified when I saw our priest. I'd never seen a priest in real life, but there he was, all in black and so eager and excited to see a new face.

Blessed, Blessing, Blessings!!
Blessed, Blessing, Blessings!!
By Charlotte Ostermann
In case you missed my first post in this series, I am leading a Catholic Bible Study through the lens of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). This is opening up the Scriptures in a marvelous new way for me – giving St. Paul’s letter an ecclesial dimension I’d never seen in my favorite book of the Bible while loving it as only an Evangelical Christian can.
