She Pondered the Greeting

Published February 28, 2018 • Written by Norine Shaivitz Filed Under: Blog

“Hail, full of grace,” said the angel to the young woman. And Mary was perplexed. She pondered the greeting. I’ve spent a lot of time pondering this greeting too. It comes up every Monday and Saturday as the assigned meditation of the rosary. And I also heard it four times between Advent, Christmas and a… [Read More]

Let Me Bless You

Published January 3, 2018 • Written by Norine Shaivitz Filed Under: Blog

My five-year old has taken up a renewed interest in the Barbie movies she got when she was three. My house is filled with the sound of Barbie with her puppies or Barbie as a mermaid or Barbie in fairy wings. My little one sings along as Barbie plays a different character who is always… [Read More]

Faith in Action (Review: 7 Habits That Define Our Catholic Identity)

Published July 19, 2016 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Reviews

I wasn’t raised Catholic, but I’m not a convert, either. My mom’s side of the family is Catholic, so I was baptized as a baby and received my other sacraments of initiation on the usual timeline. I never say that I was raised Catholic, though. We didn’t go to church, not even for Christmas or… [Read More]

Asking Back: Asking Jesus His Own Question

Published August 25, 2015 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Faith

We are sitting in a bar on a hot summer day. I stare at my dejected feet on the bar stool, then out the door at the hot day, the burning sidewalk, the occasional overheated human being passing by. I don’t want to look at him, though I am relieved by his presence. I glance… [Read More]

Religious and Happy About It (Review: “OyMG”)

Published September 18, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Young Adult

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, ends tonight at sundown. That might not be terribly significant to readers of a Catholic blog like ACNM, but it is to me. Not only do my work responsibilities include frequent, delightful interaction with non-Catholic religious professionals, but I like knowing that other religions have non-secularized holidays, too.

I am not Brandon Vogt

Published June 27, 2012 • Written by Chris Williston Filed Under: Faith, Family, Social Media and Tech

I know you can’t hear me sigh when I type these words, so you’ll just have to imagine it. I am not Brandon Vogt. A couple of months back, I made the fortunate mistake of following Brandon Vogt on Facebook. For those who don’t know who Brandon is, he’s what I’d call a celebrity.  Not… [Read More]

Better Catholic Websites

Published October 10, 2011 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Social Media and Tech

For centuries, the Catholic Church supported the most talented, pioneering artists and designers to create churches, icons, altars and other religious art. Although spending all that money on art hasn’t gone without question. The Church has often been criticized for spending so much on fancy buildings and priceless paintings instead of using that money to feed… [Read More]
