Opening in cinemas on Oct. 10 and rated PG, “Soul on Fire” is an inspirational story for the entire family that demonstrates the power of living a life of courage and faith while serving others along the way.

We hear a lot these days about “Generational Healing” and “Healing the Family Tree.” No Magisterial document of the Catholic Church promotes this concept.

Are you taking deep breaths and gathering yourself before the relatives gather for Christmas? One reader does, and Dr. Stackpole shares some thoughts.
