Learn About Litanies And How To Pray Them
Gillian Weyant - May 31, 2018
This litany is one of the most well-known and beloved, since it is such a universally and frequently said prayer. It can help us understand our faith a little bit better to consider some other litanies as well, and think about how we can incorporate them into our prayer lives. -
Ordinary Time: A Time to Grow in Faith
W. P. Bennett - May 24, 2018

Papal Infallibility & How to Better Defend It
W. P. Bennett - May 17, 2018
There must be some kind of divine protection, some kind of grace given to the Church to protect her from error, something not produced by us humans relying on our own intelligence, but rather something supernatural given by God that protects the church from error. But how does this work? What is protected from error and what is not? Papal infallibility is the subject of many misunderstandings, not only between Catholics and non-Catholics, but even with Catholic... -
Mary and the Importance of the Color Blue
John Kubasak - May 10, 2018

What is the Meaning of the Vestments the Priest Wears?
W. P. Bennett - Jan 23, 2018
We’ve all seen the priest outside of Mass wearing plain black clothing, but do you know what the different vestments he wars during the Mass mean? Each has a history and a prayer that the priest says as he puts it on to prepare for Mass. -
These Are the Best Catholic College Books
Oakleigh Stavish - Jan 18, 2018
College can be a trying time for any student. While encountering new ideas and people, navigating the social scene, and balancing a difficult course load, even well-grounded students can run into serious temptations. These books helped me grow in my knowledge of the faith and ability to defend it. -
Do You Know Who Catholics Really Worship?
W. P. Bennett - Jan 16, 2018
You shall have no other gods before me. This command from the Lord in the Book of Exodus is a command held in common not only by all Christians but by all Abrahamic religions. From this command springs forth the prohibition that we need to reserve worship to God alone. However, this command is something that many Protestants have accused Catholics of breaking with the way Catholics treat and speak about the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints. Having patron saints for... -

W. P. Bennett - Jan 11, 2018

This is Why Jesus Was Baptized
John Kubasak - Oct 31, 2017
John the Baptist exhorted all who came to him to repent. So why would the divine, sinless Son of God come to him to be baptized? John protested, but Jesus said it was “to fulfill all righteousness.” -

Patience, kindness, and goodness are not words used only in reference to etiquette or agreeableness, they are gifts we receive from the Holy Spirit that allow us to love and serve God, and attain true happiness. Through patience we have peace, through kindness, love, and through goodness, union with God. -
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.
