How to Begin a Relationship with Jesus
Step 1: Find a quiet space Begin in a place where you can notice yourself. This could be a room, a park, or the space between heartbeats. The quiet is not about absence of sound but about presence of attention. Bring no agenda, only awareness. The first step is to show up.

Scripture and Tradition: Why Catholics Need Both
One of the most distinctive features of Catholicism is its understanding of the relationship between Scripture and Tradition. Some people assume that the Bible alone is enough for Christian faith, but Catholics believe that God’s revelation comes not only through the written Word but also through the living Tradition of the Church. Scripture and Tradition are two channels of the same truth, working together to guide the faithful toward God.

The Rosary and How It Leads to Christ
The Rosary is one of the most recognizable and cherished prayers in the Catholic Church. To many, it may appear as a repetitive sequence of words, beads, and Hail Marys, but in reality, it is a spiritual journey that leads the faithful closer to Christ. Praying the Rosary is not about counting prayers as if they were tokens. It is about meditation, reflection, and entering into the mysteries of salvation history through the life of Jesus.

Why Catholics Pray to Saints and What That Really Means
One of the most common misunderstandings about Catholicism is the belief that Catholics worship saints. This misconception often leads to confusion and criticism, especially from those unfamiliar with Catholic theology. In reality, prayer to saints has nothing to do with worship. It is rooted in how Catholics understand prayer, community, and the belief that life in Christ does not end at death.

The Apostles’ Creed is one of the oldest and most important prayers in Christianity. For Catholics, it is not simply a memorized formula or a ritual recited out of habit. It is a concise summary of what the Church believes, rooted in Scripture, preserved through Tradition, and handed down across generations. When Catholics pray the Apostles’ Creed, they are doing more than listing doctrines. They are proclaiming a shared faith that connects them to the earliest Christians.

When the Light Goes Out
Close your eyes. Relax. Breathe in. Hold it like smoke. Breathe out. Slowly. We're going to take a mental trip, a sojourn, and we're going to visit some places. The day outside is bright, is it not? The sun shines through the window. The clock ticks. But we'll let it vanish into the background, like the comfortable tiny heartbeat of a kitty cat. You have your hopes and fears, your dreams and burdens, and carry memories with you. You know of the various facets of your day-to-day life: you've kept them all in your mental cupboard. But let me ask you this before we go: How reliable, do you think, is your memory?

I Spent a Week Using Only a Dumbphone. My Brain Rewired Itself in a Surprising Way.
I made a simple rule. For seven days, I used only a dumbphone. Calls and texts only. No internet. No apps. No notifications. I expected boredom. I expected inconvenience. I did not expect a cognitive shift.

AI and the Erosion of the Middlemind.
Creative work once followed a stable curve. A few people produced elite work. Many people produced solid, competent output. A smaller group struggled. The middle carried industries. Designers, writers, editors, illustrators, and marketers filled this space. They earned steady income through reliable skill. AI is now reshaping this structure.
