The Sign of the Cross as a Blessing
Antonia Lychak - Jun 8, 2017
The mystic Servant of God Cora Evans describes a scene in which Christ gazes at her with “an understanding love” in her upcoming title, Gems.

Yes! -

Learn About the Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Charles Kaupke - Jun 1, 2017
One of the most pivotal moments in all of Church history is the day of Pentecost. Known as the “birthday of the Church,” Pentecost occurred fifty days after Christ’s Resurrection. While the Twelve Apostles were gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit descended upon them in the form of tongues of fire. This gift of God’s Spirit gave the Apostles the courage, wisdom and unity to proclaim the Gospel to the entire world. From that day to today, and indeed... -
How to Understand the Role of the Holy Spirit
John Kubasak - May 30, 2017
The Holy Spirit guides us in the path to salvation, is involved in our spiritual life, and figures heavily in our prayer life. And regardless of our openness to the Spirit, the Father burns to send Him. Jesus implores us to ask, seek, and knock; the Father waits for us, to “give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him” (Luke 11:13). -

Work has been a fact of life since the dawn of the human race. Though it might seem separate from religious affairs, our daily responsibilities have ripple effects into our spiritual lives as well. Why? Simply, Jesus came to redeem the entire human person—inclusive of everything. He didn’t leave behind this or that part of human life, he redeemed all of it. Jesus is Lord of all parts of our lives: the epic, the normal, the boring, the frustrating, and everything in between.... -

Devotion to Our Lady has many facets and comes from many sources. It’s a response to her unique, amazing role in the history of salvation.

Charles Kaupke - Apr 20, 2017
Of all the devotions that have been developed in the Catholic Church over the centuries, there are very few that have received such strong recommendations from so many popes as the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. For this devotion we can thank Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, whose feast day we celebrate on April 28.

How To Live A Joyful Easter Season
Jeannie Ewing - Apr 18, 2017
We survived Lent. We meditated on Jesus’ Passion and Death. We sacrificed, mortified ourselves, and gave more generously. And now we have entered the time of feasting, joy, and new life of Easter. It’s almost too much to absorb, because we’ve spent over a month denying our senses and giving up a portion of our comfortable lives.
