Doubt The Movie Review

Last updated on: January 14, 2024 at 4:47 pm By Mark Wilson

Father Brendan Flynn: Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone. People can be so certain about their convictions about others that unless they can pear into their minds and read them, they will not be convinced of the truth about another’s true motives and actions when a conflict arises.

The Beauty of Creating Art

Last updated on: January 14, 2024 at 4:29 pm By Mark Wilson

People love to create artwork. Give any child a box of crayons and they will immediately begin to create a masterpiece for the refrigerator.

Universal Paternity Entrusted by God to His Vicars

Last updated on: January 13, 2024 at 8:51 pm By Mark Wilson

Jesus gave Peter the keys of the kingdom which include the authority and responsibility of serving and teaching the faithful sheep of his kingdom, on whose faces is imprinted a divine likeness, what it means to be a Christian. He helps us to ask ourselves where we are in our story of love with God. He helps render the passion of Our Redeemer to made present in our midst. The same papal mission of universal paternity entrusted to Peter has... Read more

New Year New Catholic Writing: Writing Write Now 2024 # 1

Last updated on: January 11, 2024 at 4:18 pm By Mark Wilson

I think it is a good thing to see what my fellow Catholics are up to in the world of online media. But keeping up with all the various writes of the church can be a daunting task.

Cultural Diversity in the Nativity Scene

Last updated on: January 6, 2024 at 8:55 pm By Mark Wilson

What was it like for the shepherds to witness the glory of the heavenly choir only to find a silent night in the barn with a couple and their baby? Things were now calm after witnessing all that was bright. They might have asked themselves “Is this what the angels were singing about?”Sometimes we take the scene displayed in the Crèche for granted. There’s Mary and Joseph kneeling before baby Jesus. There are shepherds , some angels, some sheep and... Read more
