Trump, the Pope and ‘New TDS’
By Michael Saffran
Even Catholics can be afflicted with a new form of “TDS”—having disappointment at its center.

Whether or not President Trump (and other Republicans) have learned that lesson might be predictive in future elections.

Seeking Silence in a Loud Life
Seeking Silence in a Loud Life
By Christine S Martinovich
Do you ever notice how our best thoughts come to us in the shower or on the toilet? Why? Because we’re still and silent. Or, at least we used to be. If God speaks in a still, small voice, will we hear Him in all the constant stimulation and noise of this age? Can we find silence in this crazy life full of young kids? Or are we unintentionally inviting noise into our lives?

Tips for Bringing Young Children to Mass Part 2: For Parents
By Christine S Martinovich
My last post explored how to make the most out of the Mass for your children. This one is for the parents! With everything we're doing in the first post, it hardly seems like we're participating in the Mass at all. How can we, as parents, still get the most out of the Mass?

The Tabernacle or the Canvas Bag: What Trader Joe’s Can Teach Us About the Eucharist
By Christy Romero
Why do we line up for the things that perish, but walk right past the food that grants eternal life? On a recent trip to NY, a massive line at Trader Joe's got me thinking about consumerism, viral trends, and the quiet, forgotten treasure waiting for us at daily Mass.

Tips for Bringing Young Children to Mass Part 1: Let The Children Come
Tips for Bringing Young Children to Mass Part 1: Let The Children Come

How do you begin taking young children to Mass who have never been made to go before?

The Screams of the Small
By Connor Curley
I never thought I would find myself on the side of environmentalists on anything. And yet, here we are. Recently, my hometown of Bethune, SC, became the proposed site for a natural gas production plant. In particular, the construction site of this plant is planned for less than a quarter mile from the homestead I have long been proud to refer to as, “where I grew up.”

Known By Heart: Is Rote Memorization Vain Repetition?
Known By Heart: Is Rote Memorization Vain Repetition?
By Christine S Martinovich
Being raised Catholic, I learned- memorized- many critical prayers. Now, as I find myself teaching my children those prayers, I’ve been hit with the conviction of this world: Is this rote memorization of prayers the “vain repetition” scripture warns us against?
