Back to School Prayers: Seniors
Senior year. Almost done... only ten months stand between you and the pomp and circumstance of graduation. For some of you, it can't come soon enough; for others, you're looking for as much time as possible to figure out what you actually want to do. Wherever you are (and wherever you're going), you're gonna need to be talking to God. To help, here's the "Prayer of the Senior," contributed by Fr. Matt Lowry.

Back to School Prayers: Sophomores
It goes without saying, but praying is essential for life as a Catholic. Sophomore year is a unique place to be, as you get the hang of your high school hallways and move ever closer to becoming and upperclassman.

For People Who Can’t Stand the Rosary
If you can’t stand the rosary, this article is for you. Pope John Paul II loved praying the rosary, and that was a problem for me. I admired the pope’s wisdom, but I was an eighteen-year-old college freshman who couldn’t stand praying the rosary. Don’t get me wrong, I loved being Catholic, but the rosary seemed like the least appealing way to pray. How many of you reading this now feel the same way?

Ask Fr. J – How do I start a prayer meeting?
Q: Eleven kids from church also attend my high school. We are thinking of starting a daily prayer meeting. We’re not sure what we should be doing. Any words of wisdom?

So, You Ruined Your Lent
So here it is: it’s Holy Week, and the only thing running through your head is, “Where’d Lent go?” Maybe you never nailed down exactly what you were giving up, or your best efforts still came up short. If you’re anything like me, you’re wishing you could get a Lenten do-over… and this time take it more seriously. Until next year, there aren’t any chances to go back to Ash Wednesday – but that doesn’t mean we’re out of luck. (With our God, how can we ever be truly lost?) We are now in the middle of the most important [...]

Want Heaven’s Area Code? 5 Ways to Talk to God.
Working at a cell phone store, I find very few customers that don’t consider their phone a necessity. So when they come in with a freshly wet phone they dropped in the toilet… they are not calm.
If my customers cannot live one day without their cell phones that connect them to the people they love, why can some Catholics live without praying daily?
