read moreWe Get What We Look For
We all know someone like this. No matter what they do or who they deal with they get the short end of it – or “screwed” to use a more popular phrase. I’m always amazed with certain people as it seems to be infallible for them. The mechanic, their boss, their coworkers, the doctor, the bank teller, the plumber, the contractor…you name it. They always seem to get screwed over despite the...
read moreThe Stunning Beauty of Mother Teresa
I didn’t have much faith formation as a kid. Sure, I went to catechism like most everyone else in those days but I don’t remember learning too much. I was a very shy and sensitive child and for some reason my best friend, Annette, and I were put in different classes – hers marked “A” and mine “B.” I can still remember the first day of orientation in the school gym, sitting in the bleachers...
read moreBe Part of the Solution with the Rosary Crusade
As a people of faith we have hope even when the days around us seem darker than ever before. All that was once held dear in America is held in contempt and we see all manner of bedlam and anarchy on a rampage as we approach the presidential election. But, there is hope if we use the spiritual weapon Our Lady told us to use. Join me in being part of the solution: Join the Rosary Crusade for Our...
read moreWas My Mom Kidding Me?
I remember it like it was yesterday…that shocking moment in the basement so long ago. I was probably about five or six and was with my mom looking for something when she made a casual comment that began with “when I was a little girl….” Now, I don’t remember her story but that line jumped out and has stayed with me until today. The absurdity of it crashed into my little mind. Mom…a little girl?...
read moreHeaven, Hell, & A Loving God
Many good and intelligent people say they don’t believe in hell or the devil because God is good and forgiving and would never condemn anyone to unending suffering. Would a loving God truly send people to hell? It seems so contradictory, doesn’t it? Or is even hell a manifestation of God’s mercy? Allison Ricciardi explores this topic in God’s Not Mean So Hell’s Not Possible. Related posts:...
read moreIf You Want to Get to Heaven, Live like You’re Already There
Heaven…our heart’s deepest longing and desire…or at least it should be. It’s hard to imagine what to really expect. We all have our own ideas and hopes about what it will be like. But the bottom line is the same for all of us: heaven will be a place of unending happiness and bliss. Scripture gives us this hope: no more weeping or mourning and every tear will be wiped away. So how are we to know...

In this day and age, financial stress, parenting issues, disagreements over work-and-home balance, social media temptations, pornography and an array of other issues all have the potential to lead a couple down the road to infidelity.

read moreProtecting Boys from Harmful and Enticing Cultural Messages
The concept of manhood being synonymous with godliness is not a concept that is largely supported in today’s culture. The culture is at war with the family, especially its youngest and most vulnerable members. Our boys are bombarded with harmful and enticing messages from movies and television, from the rock-music industry, from the advocates of so-called safe-sex ideology, and from the...
