The Liturgical Calendar: Its Meaning and Meditation
W. P. Bennett - Jan 14, 2015
Walking into my local parish for daily Mass on Monday after we celebrated the Baptism of the Lord on January 11th, it looked rather empty. I don’t mean there were fewer people than normal, but the church itself felt empty. The Advent wreath was gone. Gone also were the elaborate nativity scene complete with life size wise men from the East, the Christmas trees in full decoration on the edges of the sanctuary, and the red and green bunting from the... -
Public Revelation: What, Who, When, Where, How
John Kubasak - Dec 31, 2014
God has revealed a great deal of Himself to humanity, out of love for us and for our salvation. However the period for what is known as “public revelation” has closed. The first chapter has been finished; humanity awaits the final chapter of public revelation at the end of time, when Jesus will come again in all His glory (cf. 1 Tim 6:14, Tit 2:13). This article will discuss what “public revelation” is and why it is considered to be complete, and all the other... -
Watch and Pray: An Invitation from Christ
W. P. Bennett - Dec 24, 2014
As my sixteenth birthday approached, I began to plan what I wanted in my dream car. Perhaps more thought went into the sound system than more practical things like seats, airbags, anti-lock brakes, etc. I enjoyed going into the local car audio store and looking at the speakers. The store had an entire wall full of speakers. Anytime there weren’t other people in the store I would turn different types of music on each of the speakers on the wall and just immerse myself... -
Fishers of Men: Our Calling
Sara and Justin Kraft - Dec 17, 2014
Jesus’ calling of the apostles is his call to us. Pope Francis reiterates this call today. For he challenges us, “We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, in our parish or diocesan institutions, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel,” (World Youth Day Homily at Cathedral of San Sebastian, Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, July 27, 2013). “To go out as ones sent—it is not enough simply to open the door in welcome... -
Conversion Stories: Venerable Matthew Talbot
Jeannie Ewing - Dec 10, 2014
The life story of Venerable Matthew Talbot is one of many conversion stories that speak to all of us about our need for God's mercy and grace and the sanctity that comes with the virtue of humility. -
A Short History of the Intercession of the Saints
W. P. Bennett - Dec 3, 2014
If we look at the many beliefs that Catholics and most Protestants hold in common, it is surprising that so much attention is paid to those areas of faith where we disagree. However, at least from a Catholic perspective, these areas are very important. Teachings on the Eucharist, the role of Mary, and the intercession of the saints seem to be the biggest of these dividing issues. Catholics sometimes feel put on the defensive when asked about these issues and can become flustered, not... -
Watch and Pray: A Personal Reflection on the Words of Christ
Anne Stricherz - Nov 26, 2014
Watch and pray. At the opening of this holiday and Christmas season, as we begin to contemplate our blessings and prepare to welcome our Savior, these words are a beautiful source of meditation. What do these words of Christ mean for us? How do we respond to them? -
Private Revelation in the Catholic Church
Sara and Justin Kraft - Nov 19, 2014
The need for revelation is sometimes questioned. After all, Saint Paul teaches us that God’s “invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made” (Romans 1:20).

The book tells of the journey of the Magi from Egypt where they first witnessed a vision of the birth of the child Messiah.
