THE RIGHT TO LIFE. As Catholics, we believe in the sanctity of human life, and we take a moral position on abortion based on God's law and Church teaching. We are made in the image and likeness of God, and we are all called to defend life from conception until natural death.

THE ROSARY. It’s not for everyone, but many people who say the Rosary find it to be a spiritually engaging and enriching prayer.  If you are less familiar with it, you may be surprised to learn of its depth and its power.

THE COMMANDMENT TO LOVE. Saint Paul says that love is patient, love is kind; it endures all things; and love never fails. But to "will the good of another" is a constant challenge,  and a very difficult thing to do. It requires us to break free from the ego and self-absorption, so that we can really see the heart and needs of others.

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL. It is with our eyes that we perceive all of the beauty of creation, but it is also with our eyes that we see temptation. We are greatly blessed with our ability to see, so we must take custody of our eyes and fix them on Christ, who guides us from darkness into the light.

PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR ORDER IN YOUR LIFE.  There are numerous self-help guides online and in books that offer ways to improve any and all aspects of one's life. We check in with St. Francis de Sales, who provides some practical ways to help us strengthen our own personal commitment to our faith and to discipleship.

REDEMPTION AND SALVATION.  Redemption is understood as "deliverance from sin," but Salvation requires our cooperation and participation. For eternal salvation we need grace from God, and we must make our Redeemer the center of our lives.

A LETTER FROM BEYOND.  We pray for the souls in Purgatory because we believe that one day they will be joined with God in Heaven. But what of those souls who have turned away from God and who now exist in eternal damnation?  Listen to the voice of one who calls out from a place in which there is no love, no faith, and no hope.

DIFFICULTY & HOLINESS.  We all strive to be good Christians, but the path to holiness seems filled with obstacles and difficulties.  When we accept these challenges as God's will for us, we are able to accept the grace that feeds us and enables us to overcome, and give glory to God.
