Sitting in our comfortable (even if modest and simple) homes in the industrialized world, we shudder to think of those who live in poverty.

The Incredible Gift of Divine Mercy
Jeannie Ewing - Jun 2, 2020
I walked into the Perpetual Adoration Chapel and browsed the library behind it. Most of the time, I wanted a specific devotion to assist my mind in meditation while praying in silence during my hour with Jesus.

John Kubasak - May 5, 2020

Here’s Why Catholics Go to Mass on New Year’s Day
Rachel Forton - Dec 31, 2019
