• 100th Anniversary of Fatima

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham October 4, 2017
  The message of Our Lady of Fatima is an apocalyptic one. She repeatedly expresses to the three shepherd children the sorrows flowing from her Immaculate Heart, and the impending threat of God's Holy Justice if men do not amend their sinful ways. She implores us to repent, to pray the rosary, and to ...

• Goodnight, but not Goodbye

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham July 2, 2017
  So I've been away for a while, and there is good reason for that, but I've been thinking about ULCM periodically the whole time. I've been thinking about the friendships and relationships I've developed here, and it's been over 4 years now! Can you believe it? I can't...time really does fly. At the ...

• Sooo... UNNECESSARY MEMO HERE: Don't breastfeed in church!!

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham April 28, 2017
  I don't know about anyone else, but I've been going to church since I was young enough to not remember it. I fell away in my late teens and twenties for reasons I don't need to get into to here. But I've been going to church for long enough that I know proper conduct when you step through those fron...

• Beauty in Sodom and Gomorrah

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham April 16, 2017
  As I sat in the Easter service at church this morning, the pastor gave us a wonderful reflection on the beauty of Christ's resurrection and how completely vital it is to our salvation. It was a great thing to hear, but it got me to thinking about the state of Christianity in general. In a day where ...

• A Vasectomy is the new "abortion" *facepalm*

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham April 6, 2017
  Any member of this site who has taken to the time to speak with me or read my posts over the last four years probably knows that I am unapologetically pro-life even in cases of rape and incest, although I do understand the reasoning in cases of medical necessity when the life of the mother is in dan...

• REAL Hatred Online

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham January 4, 2017
  Leave it to the internet to destory, on a continual basis, any faith a person might have left in humanity. By now I'm sure most people have seen the video of the two year old twin boys climbing on the dresser in what appears to be their bedroom and pulling it over on top of themselves trapping one o...

• Fall of the Crescent Star

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham December 30, 2016
  Violence has a way of jolting any man into reality. It is inherent within us that if our well being should be threatened we immediately realize that threat and respond in a way that preserves our own well being. However, it is not a rare occurence that evil should come upon us and shake our view of ...

• "Hate" is Meaningless

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham December 26, 2016
  "Hate" is a very strong word, so much so that in times gone by it was rarely used if it was used at all. However, in the modern age it is a word that is thrown around so frivolously that it has been rendered essentially MEANINGLESS. Today any number of harmless words or actions can be construed as h...

• Heart of a Compassionate Warrior

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham December 26, 2016
    JMJ: All Christian warriors, be they medieval knights to modern policemen or military men, to those of us committed to warfare in the spiritual realm have wrestled with the same question: How do we reconcile the seemingly contradictory teachings of Christ and the Old Testament which call u...

• Roses for the Mother of God

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham December 10, 2016
    Roses are said to be our Holy Mother's favorite flower. Every time we pray the Hail Mary prayer we give our Holy Mother a rose, and every time we pray a decade of the rosary (1 Lord's prayer and 10 Hail Mary's) we give her a bouqet of roses. Each time we pray a full set of mysteries of the...

• Annual Black Friday Hissy Fit

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham November 25, 2016
  Ah, yes, Black Friday...that one day of the year where you can (almost) legally beat the living crap out of your fellow humans (I think we're still calling them that) over Wal-Mart's last tube of Preperation H, or (insert ridiculous item here). I've heard them all over the years, bar-room style braw...

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham October 24, 2016

• Big Questions, Small answers

  by Matthew Stephen Abraham September 19, 2016
  Why does God allow bad things to happen to us? I get asked this question a lot particularly by non-believers. This question is very simple to answer, although it may be unsatisfactory. God is our Heavenly Father. As a father myself, I'm always available to my children to offer them love, support, an...
