By Justin McClain
To be frank and direct, if you have not already, you should take the time to methodically read through Pope Francis’ recently-released post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (“The Joy of Love”): On Love in the Family, which is available on the Vatican’s website here.

Quid est Veritas?
Quid est Veritas?
By Joseph Michael
St. Augustine once alluded to the idea that if you think you can comprehend God, then it isn’t God that you comprehend. God is the Creator; we are his creation. As such, it is not possible for us to fully comprehend our Creator in His entirety.

The Gifts of our Heavenly Father
The Gifts of our Heavenly Father
By C.L. Killgore
Faith can be a challenge. It doesn’t always come easily and living it, actually putting it into action, takes courage. Years ago, when I started a job with a Catholic diocese here in the U. S., two people offered me some very important insight that would help sustain me through the many trials and challenges I would face not only in that job, but in life.

A Crisis of Faith

Death and Dying
Death and Dying
By Mary Rivers
Each of us has known the death of someone close to us; sometimes death is unexpected, sometimes it is after the passion of suffering. Always death of someone makes us think of our own mortality; our thoughts vary with our relationship to Jesus.

God, the Husband and Wife, and Openness to New Life: Why Catholics Must Know the Church's Teachings on the Beauty of Marriage
God, the Husband and Wife, and Openness to New Life: Why Catholics Must Know the Church's Teachings on the Beauty of Marriage
By Justin McClain
For some reason, it seems to surprise some that Jesus had anything to say about marriage. The possible source of this surprise is another consideration for another day, but suffice it to say that Jesus’ teachings regarding marriage were counter-cultural even two-thousand years ago.

What Choice is Ours?
What Choice is Ours?
By Joseph Michael
If there is anything that we, as Catholics, can learn—assuming we didn’t already know this—from the abhorrent state of our nation’s political affairs, it is that we should never put our faith in men (or women).

Convert for Jesus
Convert for Jesus
By Sergio Garibay-Olivares
What's that truth on why you should become Catholic or that truth that will affirm your Catholic Faith? Well, that is the Eucharist. If you wonder what is the Eucharist, let me explain: The Eucharist is the true body and blood of Christ under the appearance of bread and wine.

Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy
Theology of the Body Extended Again: Christ's Crucified Feet, an Analogy
By Scott Pauline
Our feet walk the Way of Jesus, the Way of truth. Our feet are meant to walk in the path of the way. The way is lit by the truth. Christ is the truth! Hence, why shouldn't the details of Jesus' crucified feet reveal deep specificity of the truth of Christ, manifested in five great fountains, as the five toes of the human foot

Pope Saint Caius, Encourager
By Debra Booton McCoy
Knowing our own history makes us value it more. To know the history of the Church makes us value her further. Even those people who are far into the depths of anonymity should be brought to the surface and looked at, however briefly.

Killing messes up our heart.
Killing messes up our heart.
By Kathy Lamb
My son David is against all killing. I tend to agree with his reasons for not wanting to kill, not wanting to kill even insects. Killing anything messes with our heart. Here’s a mix of what I learned from him and my own take on it.

Conquest or Collectively Benevolent Progress?
Conquest or Collectively Benevolent Progress?
By Joseph Michael
As Flannery O’Connor once wrote, “anyone who has survived childhood has enough material to write about for the rest of his life.” We each have unique childhood experiences as a result of our varied upbringings and family lives.

Jesus always knew he was Divine
By Kathy Lamb
These comments, in our missalette, from today’s gospel, Matthew 15: 21-28, bothered me. I might have just wondered about it and let it go but because of a discussion I had with my sister, Helen, I wanted to explore this more.

Making God's Dreams Come True
Making God's Dreams Come True
By Tony Crescio
In his latest Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis has many beautiful things to say about the human person, but one thing in particular caught my eye, as I read through the text for the first time about a month ago. In paragraph 168 he writes: “Each child has a place in God’s heart from all eternity; once he or she is conceived, the Creator’s eternal dream comes true.”

Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
Set the World ABLAZE! (Luke 12:49)
By Greg Schlueter
One may have reason to doubt the real power of Jesus Christ alive and present. 90% disappear after Confirmation. 75% of Catholics no longer attend Mass. Only 13% of Mass-going Catholics even pray before meals. Or, perhaps like the origin of just about every superhero, the power is there, we have it, but we have no idea what we have.

Pope Saint Eutychian
Pope Saint Eutychian
By Debra Booton McCoy
Pope Saint Eutychian apparently did not live a very exciting life, for there is no information known about him other than his name and the date he probably came to be bishop of Rome. We are not even sure he was on the throne. The Catholic Church states his reign as January, 275 to December 7, 283.
