A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
A Lesson Learned From 3 Popes
By Charlie Johnston
Every Pope was put into his position by God for a reason. Their primary job is to shepherd God's people, as Jesus told St. Peter "feed my lambs." (John 21:15-17) But there are also many things that God means to accomplish through His servants, and here on earth these reasons are sometimes obvious but other times they are not.

The Power of Three
By Joseph P. Thomas
Lucy, Francis and Jacinta – three children who saw a vision of Mary and were compelled to change the world.

By Susan Skinner
In my prayer of late, the Anchor keeps coming to me. Now, I have always known that the anchor is a symbol of hope.

Being A Good Steward Of You
Being A Good Steward Of You
By C.L. Killgore
