Pope Francis' "The Joy of Love"
Pope Francis' "The Joy of Love"
By Anne Gerard
Once again, Pope Francis has released a new document that has many Catholics (and non) in a tizzy. Many claim he is trying to change Church doctrine in a way that would fit the desires of the world. Oh my! That certainly is a scary and unsettling thought. Just as everyone has an interpretation of The Pope’s words, I, too have my own.

Do You Follow The Pope Or Jesus?
Do You Follow The Pope Or Jesus?
By Adam Crawford
"Do you follow the Pope or Jesus?" I was actually asked this question the other day. It came about in a rather indirect manner with a friend asking my mom what she thought my answer would be.

How to Pray When You Screw Up
How to Pray When You Screw Up
By Trish Stukbauer
We all mess up sometimes – it’s part of being human. We say things we shouldn’t. We do what we know is wrong; or perhaps, we fail to do what we know is right. Fortunately, we Catholics have the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where we can tell God how we messed up, that we’re sorry and will try not to do it again, and receive His forgiveness.

Faith and the Cubs
Faith and the Cubs
By Matt Kresich
One thing everyone knew about me growing up was my love for the Chicago Cubs. No matter where I was during the summer, you could always find me with a Cubbie blue hat and some variation of a Cubs jersey. I am just old enough to remember the 2003 NLCS in which the Lovable Losers missed the World Series by a couple outs.

God of Peace, I am Your Child
By Kathy Lamb
My son Paul has said to me, “Mom being with you is like being with a small child!” And when I visited my Son Jason in Seattle a few months ago he told me, “You’re just like a child. You say whatever comes into your head. You jump around from one thing to another.”

How I became a weekday sacristan!
How I became a weekday sacristan!
By Kathy Lamb
If the only thing we own is our sinfulness, then our forgetfulness, mess ups, mix ups are gifts from God and serve a purpose. Yes, Jesus asks us to be perfect as he is perfect.

O, Cross of Christ
O, Cross of Christ
By Jean Smith
On Good Friday, Pope Francis closed the reenactment of the Way of the Cross with a beautiful prayer entitled, “To the Cross of Christ” I was amazed at the way our Holy See led us to see how we as humans carry our crosses or refuse to carry our crosses.

Where Is Our Peace?
Where Is Our Peace?
By Kathy Lamb
This morning Father Adam reminded us that Jesus, the King of Peace, promised us peace. Father asked, “So how come we don’t have it?” He continued, “We all suffer. Mary and Joseph suffered. Jesus suffered all His life. The prophets and the apostles suffered. Their suffering was a reality.” Father understands our suffering, our daily struggles.

The Right and the Left
The Right and the Left
By Samuel Matthews
The Church is not a political entity. She is a spiritual entity. In this day and age, we are all too caught up in our convenient ideological labels. This person is a conservative. That person is a liberal. He is only saying that because he is a member of that party. She would think differently if she were on the other side of the aisle. But God defies our categories.

Living the Year of Mercy
Living the Year of Mercy
By Danielle Castellucci
Pope Francis has declared December 8, 2015-November 20, 2016 the Year of Mercy. For me, mercy brings to mind forgiveness. God’s repeated and inexhaustible forgiveness is perhaps one of the greatest mercies He affords us. That even though sinners, we are not only forgiven, but saved by His Son.
