Living The Worthy Life: Saints Be Praised
By Michael Cunningham
Think about this. Do people live to become Saints or do they become Saints because of the way they live? Either way, this status will become a reality for Fulton J. Sheen soon and I thought it would be rather fun to look back and see what he said about the lives of the Saints himself.

Why We Confess Our Sins to a Priest
By JP Nunez
Why do we have to confess our sins to a priest? This is one of the most common questions that people ask about the Catholic faith, and with good reason. Nobody likes telling another person all the bad things they've done, so if we're going to do it, we want a really good reason why we should. It's just human nature to want to know the reasoning behind things we don't like.

His cause for sainthood has not yet begun, but this priest was another who gave his life for his fellow inmates at Dachau
By Larry Peterson
His name was August Froehlich, and he was born into a prosperous merchant’s family in Prussia in 1891. He was studying philosophy but had to leave his studies since he was drafted to serve in the military when World War I erupted. He became part of an elite unit called the 1st Guard Grenadiers and was sent to the Russian front. On July 3, 1915, he was severely wounded. Unconscious and not moving,

Ecological Sins
By E.M. McCarthy
When I read in my church bulletin's “Social Justice” corner an article about the threat to the environment by plastic bags and the suggestion we should give up on K-Cup coffee, I bristled. I'm not confessing something so silly as using plastic cups the next time I go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

This Advent, Prepare to Come Alive
By Katie Talarico

Have Patience With All Things, but First of All With Yourself
By Kevin J. Banet
What kind of world would we live in if public figures and political leaders took a other-first approach, instead of seeking fame and recognition? Hundreds of years before Christ, Plato envisioned what he called a “philosopher king,” a leader who cared more about virtue and truth first and foremost in how they led. How can we do this in a miniature way in our own lives?

The Horrors of Hell are Equal in Degree to the Glories Found in Heaven!
By Lorrie McNickle
I'm currently reading a book about the horrors of Hell. Honestly, I am not sure what motivated me or inspired me to read such a book, but it has had a horrifying effect on me. The book is by Paul Thigpen and called "Saints Who Saw Hell".

"Recurring Dreams of Holy Mass and my role in them"
By Ralph Hathaway
As in my reflection “Encountering the Church Penitent” a very vidid dream, last night’s dream was no different. There have been many short dreams during the past several years where I am on the way to church, or already there, but something always confronts me or creates a block which prevents me from completing my ministry that day.

Trying to Be a Hero
By Ann Frailey
Susanne shivered. Rain had settled into a steady drizzle, and dark clouds hid any vestiges of the evening sun. One of the very last pink and golden leaves of the season fluttered in a gentle breeze and then, without warning, careened from the heights to land on her head. She tried not to take offense as she plucked off the ragged symbol of autumn beauty and held it before her eyes. She glanced up.

Loneliness and Thanksgiving: Thoughts from a Catholic man
By Larry Peterson
This will be the third Thanksgiving since my wife passed away, and when you become widowed, there is an inescapable loneliness factor that enters your life. But I have learned that loneliness has no boundaries. It reaches out for everyone and captures many of the unsuspecting, including those who are seemingly happy, contented, and successful, dragging them into a world of hidden misery
