    Marriage— “it unites spouses and binds them to their eternal souls…”

    By Larry Peterson As we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Family it seems fitting to repost this article that focuses on the domestic church as described by Pope St. John Paul II in his Apostolic Exhortation  titled, Familiaris Consortia issued on November 22, 1981.

    The Last Christmas Tree   A Short Story by Larry Peterson Inspired by a true story: It was 6:00 A.M., and she was exhausted.

She leaned forward, stared some…

  • When Jesus Rose from the Dead where was the Blessed Mother? Ask Pope St. John Paul II

    By Larry Peterson When Easter morning arrived, someone was missing. That someone is the very lynchpin of the Salvation story. That someone is the Blessed Virgin, Mary.
