A Dance With Grief: The Hard Work of Healing
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky | October 23, 2013

Grieving can come in so many forms not just from the loss of a loved one. Couples mourn the loss of children they aren't able to conceive. A man grieves the loss of his ability to provide an income for his family. A woman weeps over the loss of her breast to cancer. A child cries over an absent father. An old woman agonizes over the loss of her memory. In this fast paced age of anti-depressants and unrealistic ideas of the ways and means to true happiness, it is no surprise that people are suffering in silence.

Rotten To The Common Core
By Dr. Frederick Liewehr | October 23, 2013

Our Bishops need to hear from their parishioners on this incredibly important subject that affects the lives of our children and the future of the Church. The secularist Left has their people installed at the highest level of our government at the moment, and is doing all it can to turn America into not just an atheist nation but a nation that is overtly anti-Christian. The government is threatening brute force to ensure compliance with its redefinition of marriage, and must be resisted. Voluntary adoption of CC curricula that are anathema to Church teaching is the last thing that the Bishops should be undertaking.

I believe that it is truly important for everyone to confront in dialogue the historical reality of the Reformation, its consequences and the responses it elicited. Catholics and Lutherans can ask forgiveness for the harm they have caused one another and for their offenses committed in the sight of God. Together we can rejoice in the longing for unity which the Lord has awakened in our hearts, and which makes us look with hope to the future. (Pope Francis to Lutheran Leaders)

Reflection on the Catholic Catechism: God Comes to Us
By Michael Terheyden | October 23, 2013

Jesus is God's final word, the end of divine Revelation. There will never be a new public revelation until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again at the end of time. Yet it remains for Christians to gradually grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.

To light a lamp is always a clear sign of readiness and expectation. Today as we celebrate the liturgical memorial of Blessed John Paul II, we can recall his readiness to pass from the apostolic palace to the Father's house on April 2, 2005. The lights in his bedroom remained on as the Mass for Divine Mercy was celebrated and he received the Lord in viaticum who was about to come for him. St. Peter's Square was filled with the lights of tens of thousands of Catholic faithful praying in unison. John Paul II waited for the Lord whose light he reflected and in whose service he had worked so hard for so many years. He who showed the whole world how to live with Christ also showed us how to die with Christ.

It is hard to think about Civil Rights, without thinking of the great civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., best known for his famous speech, "I have a Dream." Yet, the life-giving work begun by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. continues on, as his niece, Dr. Alveda C. King, also a minister, carries the civil rights torch for him, and her deceased father, Reverend A.D. King for the peaceful preservation of civil rights for all Americans, especially those of women and the unborn.

The title Recall Abortion has a double meaning. First, the women who have had an abortion, even if they have gone through healing, still recall their abortion. In fact, many of them will recall the exact date of their abortion. In my book, I treat abortion as a failed product. If any product did what abortion does to women-physical and psychological damage-it would be pulled off the market.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | October 21, 2013

The Archdiocese of Washington D.C. is suing the government asking for protection of the First Amendment rights of Catholics. In a court document filed in September, the Archdiocese listed those entities which are compelled to contract with a third party provider that will participate in the unethical HHS mandate.

MONDAY HOMILY: The Story of the Rich Fool
By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | October 21, 2013

The "vanity" of the Scriptures refers to a false and deadly way of living. This understanding helps to unlock the meaning of Jesus' words in today's Gospel (Luke 12:13-21). The sacred text gives us two examples of a disordered relationship with material goods, one drawn from real life and the other a parable. They share a common theme, namely, a disproportionate attachment to material things upends one's sense of tranquility and order, and can misdirect one away from eternal life.
