We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
The Triduum
By Judie Brown To belong to Christ, the Author of Life, is to be blessed beyond measure. So as we walk with Him from Golgotha to His Resurrection, we celebrate life in Him with excerpts from this reflection on the Sacred Triduum from Saint John Paul II: Good Friday is marked by the Passion account and by contemplation of the Cross, in which the Father’s mercy is fully revealed.

The Pill Kills Families
The destruction of the family is one of the greatest disasters of the last century. It has happened subtly, almost silently, and now we are left with the carnage. How will we alter the path that so many seem so willing to travel? Will we raise our voices in protest? If we want to make changes and save lives and souls, we must.
Catholic Chaos
When bishops don’t lead, the flock will flounder and begin to stray. When bishops don’t speak out, how can we expect anyone else to raise their voices?

If we do this, and help others do this as well, our society will hopefully move away from the culture of death in which it has become entrenched and move toward a culture of life.
Advance Directives Are a Bad Idea
End-of-life care is a crucial component to healthcare and one that has received much attention lately. With the push for people to sign advance directives, and many not knowing the implications of their signature, education is key.
A Little Thing Called the Pill
Our society has taken a step away from what used to be thought of as the joys of motherhood and has firmly planted that foot in the weeds of selfishness. Gone are the days of giving selflessly to a family. Here are the days of doing what you want when you want. All with the help of a tiny pill that can magically make problems go away. But is that really the case?
