Nov 13 13 • Kirsten Anderson • 1 comment

Would you pay $10,000 a year to stay married to your spouse? Some American couples are being faced with exactly that decision as they consider their health insurance options under ObamaCare. One of the most controversial provisions of ObamaCare is that it requires all Americans to purchase health insurance, whether they want it or not, […]

Did You Run Out of Sins?

Nov 13 13 • Marlon De La Torre • 0 comments

Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman once said: “Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action.” If the will is the source of action and faith is illuminative because it comes from God, then […]

Movie Review: Gravity

Nov 13 13 • Sr. Helena Burns, fsp • 0 comments

“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in space…,” a terrifying movie like “Gravity” hits you in the face. “Gravity” is one of those films that’s truly an experience that one undergoes: one of the tensest time periods ever spent in a cinema. This is an extremely uncomfortable film. Space is the […]

We Must Evangelize

Nov 12 13 • Denise Bossert • 19 comments

It’s the great dilemma for Catholics. We know that we are to share Christ. We are to go into the highways and byways and even into the Internet superhighway and tell the world about Jesus Christ and His Church. But we don’t know what to do about that troublesome word: proselytizing. Evangelism is good. Proselytizing is bad. […]

This is a story about defeating autism, the practical attainment of hope for devastated parents, and a whole new way of approaching a scourge upon our beloved children.

Sinner’s Guide to Natural Family Planning: Interviewing Simcha Fisher

Nov 11 13 • Bonnie Engstrom • 0 comments

Simcha Fisher’s book, The Sinner’s Guide to Natural Family Planning, is still sitting pretty in the Top 10 on Amazon’s list of Catholic books. The incredible interest in the book isn’t surprising since frank, balanced conversations about natural family planning –- the only method of spacing children approved by the Catholic Church –- are desperately […]

Poem: “Is it Firmament? Or Quicksand?”

Nov 10 13 • L. Lapiz • 0 comments

Is it Firmament? Or Quicksand? Does the kingdom of the world know Of the Kingdom of God? Most assuredly so. But the reigning prince blinds The eyes of his subjects. For were they to know their fortune, They would abandon him. His trickery is beguiling, His promises deceiving, Their fortune is terror. Not so the […]

The Ways of God for Fathers – Foreknowledge

Nov 9 13 • James Curley • 0 comments

St. Thomas Aquinas writes: God foresees with prudence all future things, good or bad. Before they happen, He knows them and sees the good or evil that will result from them. This would seem pretty difficult to imitate at first glance; after all we can’t predict the future. On the other hand, I recently read […]

When I was in college, I prayed and discerned a vocation to become a sister or a nun. I was enthralled by the Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart, since I had had the honor of working with and forthem at a Catholic School in Florida. Fortunately for me, I was assigned to work with […]

ObamaCare: Advancing the Abortion Industry

Nov 8 13 • Susan T. Muskett • 0 comments

On a Friday night back in December 2009, Senate Majority Leader Reid was in tense negotiations with then-Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, as Reid desperately needed Nelson’s vote to secure Senate passage of ObamaCare. Finally, Nelson had what Politico described as a “breakthrough” that lead to a deal, as Politico reported a few days later. […]

Sing to the Lord a New Song

Nov 8 13 • Elizabeth Tichvon • 0 comments

“Sing to the Lord a new song” (Psalm 98:1). A reflection on today’s Sacred Scripture: Today’s Responsorial Psalm speaks of the freshness of prayer we experience with a new life in Christ. Our prayers of petition become enhanced by prayers of praise—that is, God becomes the object of our prayers and we begin to honor […]

Poem: “The Empty Crib”

Nov 8 13 • Katie Furman • 0 comments

The Empty Crib The attic in the dust of time The little cradle keeps, Where silent in it’s tiny bed, The past forever sleeps. And as I look upon it there So quiet and alone, I see once more, within my heart, The babe that, now, is grown. I see the precious curly head That […]
