Angels are REAL
Angels are REAL
By Melanie Jean Juneau

The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
The Science of Religion: God's Blessed Hologram
By Robert Italia
The faithful may bristle at the thought of using science to illustrate and defend religious tenets, but as the following column argues, science and religion are not the foes many perceive. If anything, secularism has co-opted science in an (unwitting?) attempt to disconnect man from God. So here’s CRISTOFORI’S DREAM, my novel’s theory of everything. Perhaps there's a hint of truth in all of this

Our Life, Our Sweetness and Our Hope
Our Life, Our Sweetness and Our Hope
By Elizabeth Tichvon
Today’s Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary takes me to a day long ago just before our class was to let out for Easter break.

THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS IS REAL
THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS IS REAL
By Bill Dunn
There’s a very fascinating Catholic doctrine called the Communion of Saints. It states that all the believers who have gone before us are not isolated away in some far corner of Heaven. Instead, they are aware of our activities here on earth and they can intercede on our behalf. Pretty cool, huh?

The Greatest Love of All
The Greatest Love of All
By Elizabeth Tichvon
"Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:8). St. Paul's love discourse is most associated with matrimonial love because it speaks of love's permanence. It's often the selected reading at weddings because it teaches the betrothed how to give of themselves and resolve differences by means of the greatest spiritual gifts: faith, hope and love.

Uniting with Christ through Our Senses
Uniting with Christ through Our Senses
By Melanie Jean Juneau
Some ascetics might try to starve their physical senses to sharpen their inner senses, but such a notion seems to me to be contrary to Catholic wisdom and practice.
