The subject for today's reflection is prayer. Something some of us do, and some of us don't. When we were kids we probably all spent at least a few minutes each night, kneeling by our beds, our mother sitting next to us, saying our prayers. In my case I seem to remember an "Our Father", a …

I listen to a lot of Catholic radio since I spend most of my day in a truck and I have noticed that something. Most of these programs are wither hosted by or have guests who are converts to the Catholic Church. And they are all happy, all the time. I have nothing against happy people, …
When you get to be my age is is so easy to get confused. Earlier this week 43 Catholic institutions filed 19 lawsuits in federal court to stop the HHS contraception mandate from going through.
