To know the Virgin Mary is to love her. One way we can get to know her better is through her visits from Heaven to Earth. Marian apparitions are simply “private revelations” illuminating aspects of faith but not revealing new ones since, according to Catholic doctrine, the age of public revelation ended…
As the season for picnics, watermelon, and modesty articles winds down, there is one article that I do not want you to miss. In Slut Shaming in the Adoration Chapel, Larry Denninger shared an incident in his parish’s adoration chapel.
From Poland to the U.S., the Blessed Mother is being used in blasphemous ways. By imposing rainbow flags onto her images, she is being co-opted by LGBT activists. In April, there was furor in Poland over a rainbow Madonna that led to the arrest of an LBGT activist for appropriating a sacred…
This year, May 13 is both the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima and Mother’s Day. In our family, my husband Mark and our son Jacob celebrate birthdays on the same day.

When we’ve messed up, we should run to our mother. Scripture makes it clear. At the wedding at Cana, either the wine list or the guest list was miscalculated. Someone messed up. Mary told Jesus about it, and he saved the day by turning water into wine. But why would the Savior of the World…
At times, it seems that Moslems and Christians have no common ground. Yet, there is one who can bring us together–Mary, our Blessed Mother. Mary is greatly loved by both Muslims and Catholics. There are differences in our devotions to her, but Bishop Fulton Sheen once stated that he believed it would be through Mary that…
