Mission Statement | Catholic Digest connects with readers through personal stories of triumphs and struggles, joys and challenges, and also the lighter side of Catholic living. We are a source of support and encouragement for those who love their faith, those who struggle with their faith, and those who long to learn more about the richness of Catholic tradition.
We seek the positive in the world and in our Church. We emphasize those things that Catholics are doing right and well as a means of inspiring and encouraging others to do the same. We are hope-filled, optimistic, and forward-looking.
We highlight the goodness and beauty of God’s creation and the truths of His Church. We find abundant joy in Catholic living and aim to express that joy through inspiring words, images, and ideas.
We move our readers beyond inspiration and toward action. We give Catholics the information, tools, and resources they need to answer God’s call to holiness and bring the light of Christ to others.
Catholic life is both uniquely joyful and uniquely challenging. At Catholic Digest, we invite all to join us as we encourage and support one another in the joyful, challenging, important work of faith and family living.

My first encounter with a ghost was at age thirteen. My second encounter was in 2006 and there were three ghosts. They stayed and harassed me for eight months. I had our parish priest hold a Service for the Dead, praying that they go to the Other side. I also said the Rosary every night and talked to them telling them they needed to leave as their family and God were waiting for them..During this eight months I saw visions, saw smoke, apparitions of ghosts and was touched 6 times. Then, one night, they left. with a load thud to my bed. Since then, all is quiet in my home.
dunno 'bout ghosts, but someties . . . my mother died 'bout eight years ago, and while it made me sad, i never had the deep grief some folks seem to express, to the point of clinical depression. some six months after her passing, i had a dream. i came into a room which appeared to be a amalgam of a number of different rooms i'd associated with her. she was sitting on a kitchen chair, hunched over, reading the newspaper spread out on the bed in front of her. i asked her what she was doing here and hugged her as she stood up. she looked up and said: "alan, there's no here, here," and was gone, along withe the room, the newspaper and all. hhhhmmmmm . . .
Thank you for an interesting article. I agree with your advice of healthy skepticism/critical thinking balanced by a healthy Catholic openness to mystery. I always keep in mind that with God all things are possible. In my mind, we are souls, temporarily in a human body, and the energy of our souls - our Divine consciousness! - is powerful and can transcend a physical plane. I don't believe in scary ghosts, but I am open to the possibility of the energetic love of my mom manifesting to me at some time.
