One Life to Give

One Life to Give

By Alex Kubik on May 18, 2009

When the news broke last month that the cap­tain of an Amer­i­can cargo ship had been cap­tured by pirates, it is likely that many peo­ple didn’t real­ize how dan­ger­ous and ter­ri­fy­ing that really was.

Making Room for Christ at Christmas

Making Room for Christ at Christmas

By Fr. Ernest Daly on December 6, 2005

Dur­ing the Christ­mas sea­son, we as Chris­tians hope to focus on the com­ing of Christ. We can do this indi­vid­u­ally by prepar­ing a place for Jesus Christ in our hearts, and we can do this within our com­mu­ni­ties by shar­ing the gift of Christ’s love with oth­ers in our lives.

Why the Fight? Supreme Court Nominations

Why the Fight? Supreme Court Nominations

By Genevieve Yep-Pollack on October 6, 2005

“It’s the best real­ity show on the air.” That’s what one com­men­ta­tor called it. If we saw it our­selves, we got the impres­sion that we were watch­ing a cham­pi­onship fight. Yet it was a sim­ple pro­ce­dure in our United States Senate.

America Abuzz over ‘Moral Values’

America Abuzz over ‘Moral Values’

By Fr. Ernest Daly on November 7, 2004

What are moral val­ues, really? And, when two peo­ple dis­agree on what makes one choice moral and another immoral — as so many did dis­agree in the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion — how can we know whose val­ues are truly the most moral?

The Big 5: Ethical Values in Elections

The Big 5: Ethical Values in Elections

By William Hobbs on October 15, 2004

Of course, Amer­i­cans face more than these five issues dur­ing this elec­tion. There are eco­nomic issues, secu­rity and world peace issues, includ­ing the war on ter­ror­ism and Iraq. With so many press­ing issues, why does the Church say these five issues are essen­tial and non-​​negotiable? The rea­son is that the right to life is antecedent to all other rights.

A Deeper Victory: 9/​11 Hero & Olympian

By Genevieve Yep-Pollack on September 8, 2004

Jason Read of the United States men’s row­ing team, had already demon­strated a great con­fi­dence and faith in him­self in the Sep­tem­ber 11th res­cue squad. How­ever, the Olympics chal­lenged him to take a step higher, to a deeper faith and con­fi­dence in God rather than himself.

Courage under Fire: An Unsung Hero

Courage under Fire: An Unsung Hero

By Alex Kubik on December 7, 2003

Patrick Miller did not enlist in the Army seek­ing glory and fame. The 23-​​year-​​old from Val­ley Cen­ter, Kansas sim­ply wanted to serve his coun­try and earn some money to pay for an edu­ca­tion. Cer­tainly, his prospect for valor did not seem likely at first…
