Gossip can be one of those sins in our life that is there but we rarely even notice it until we see its immediate effects.

Having reminders around us that have been consecrated to the Lord assists us and reminds us that we, too, have been consecrated to God.

There is a difference between “regret” and “repentance.” It is good to have both, but we need at least one of these.

I serve at my parish all of the time. Whenever my pastor (or really anyone) asks me to help, I usually say yes.

If we understood one thing clearly, I believe that it would change everything about how we approach the Mass.

Q: I get that purgatory exists. But why?

So the Bible says to “keep holy the sabbath.” How do I do that? Is it a sin to do any work at all?

I want to become the person that God has called me to be, but I can’t imagine adding more to my plate.

Some of my co-workers seem to think that I believe my religion saves me. They say that Christianity is about a relationship, not a religion.

If we want to become more generous, it doesn’t begin with action, it begins with vision.

I heard that Jesus said there is a sin that cannot be forgiven. What is this sin? Why can’t God forgive it?

I’ve been praying, but sometimes I don’t know if what I’m thinking is actually God’s voice or if it is my own thoughts. Is there any way I can tell?

When our kids do not embrace the faith, we ask the question, “What did I do wrong?” but we also ask the question, “What can I do now?”

I would like to make a distinction between ‘signs’ and ‘reminders’.

I am grateful that you asked this question. In fact, I’ve been pondering this for a number of years now: What do we “do” with “famous Catholics”?

Let’s get to the heart of your question. There can be a real difference between an excuse and a genuine reason.

We are so caught up in the need to move on to the next thing that we have lost the ability to pause.

This is a great question because it reveals you are aware of God’s desire that we turn to him in our need.

I have been trying to pray more regularly, but I keep getting so distracted. It is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

I have a friend with whom I am trying to share the Gospel. He has great questions, but I’m not sure if he has faith yet. What should I do?

Why do some people have faith and others don’t? What if I personally don’t feel like I have faith?

I say that I believe in God, but then I don’t always live the way I should live as a disciple of Jesus.

I recently received communion in a non-Catholic church. Did I do something wrong?

I’ve been to confession, and I know that God has forgiven my sins. But I still feel badly about them. What should I do?
