"Hello Maria D,   My boys and I have read the first 3 books in the series so far. I have not come across anything objectionable so far. Actually it is an amazing series, that has encouraged discussion about virtues and keeping the faith. I…"

"Yes, absolutely. Here in Canada, Catholic phsychologists are few and far between, but God is good, and it turns out we already know someone. We are grateful, as she is not about placing labels on him, and one of her first inquiries was about our…"

"Iwould definitely go with a Catholic psychologist who is obedient to the Magisterium. That way you get away from faulty views of human nature and people who advocate immoral behavior. They do exist but you might have to search around and perhaps set…"

Discovering God’s Design...through the Life Cycle of a Butterfly

About a week ago we purchased a Monarch Butterfly rearing kit from a nearby Butterfly Conservatory. It’s a pretty interesting kit, includes 6 caterpillars, a milkweed plant, a cage and all you need to learn about their life cycle and how to tag them, so they can be tracked, usually as far as Mexico.I should mention that I am usually uneasy around any type of bug or insect, so if someone had asked me if I ever saw myself with pet caterpillars, I would definitely have said, “No way”…See More

Over 300 Murders Occurred today...Would the people responsible please stand up?

Today I write to appeal to your conscience! There are 2 ladies who have been called to fight the good fight in a way that some of us may find radical. Linda Gibbons and Mary Wagner are currently imprisoned at the Vanier Center for Women in Milton, Ontario, Canada, simply because they seek to remind all of us that abortions hurt women and…

The Mystery of Godliness

I received this message as a Christmas greeting from dear friends, and just had to share it with you.

To raise them to His purity.

He, the brightness of God's glory,

Came in a body of flesh,

Which was pure and holy as Himself.

He needed not a human nature for Himself.

He was… Continue

The Eleventh Hour

Written in loving memory of loved one's who have passed away. Having recently dealt with the passing of my husband's uncle and my best friend's father has left me to reflect on the meaning of living a faith filled life. The interesting thing, is as I was clearing out our storage space in the basement last week, God revealed something to me that I felt compelled to share.



Why is it that only when we are preparing to say “good-bye” we come to realize the true value of what we… Continue
