Whatever we choose to call those beliefs that give our lives meaning, we all either have such beliefs or we seek them. Some reject traditional religion, others embrace it, still others work to help mediate traditional values with the modern world. But whatever you choose as your inspiration, the meaning of life is something we each must discover for ourselves as individuals. If you cannot find it within traditional religion, as many people in the West struggle to do, you must strike out and find your own path – you must, in effect, create your own religion. This is not an easy road to travel, but the rewards are more than commensurate to the challenge.

Don't know of any articles but I can you this: the meaning of life from a Catholic perspective is the know and love God with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, and all my strength.
God bless.

Pope John Paul II's encyclical "Evangelium Vitae" (the gospel of life) may be of interest to you. Link is below. It's broken down into introductory paragraphs and topical chapters (with separate links) for ease of reading, but is intended to be taken as a whole.

Catholics believe the meaning of human life is to know and love God.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/prologue.htm
With love in Christ.
