Why Does Custom Work Cost So Much? Part 1

Symbols and the Great Power They Wield
While at a seminar recently in a school library, I just happened to glance around the room and noticed a poster on the wall entitled, “The Symbols of Illinois.”
Of course, there was a cardinal, Abraham Lincoln, the Capitol building, a Monarch butterfly, and a violet. It so happened that the topic of discussion was some of the symbolism used by the Catholic Church regarding the Liturgy of the...

The Power of Prayer and Iconography
As I help my son prepare for receiving the Catholic Sacraments of Reconciliation (Confession) and Eucharist (Communion), I am taken back to my own experiences, questions, and awe during my faith formation. One of the major aspects that worries my son (as it has worried me and many a young persons during this time of self discovery) is learning the prayers. To help him, we printed “The...
