Prayer to Our Lady of Sheshan by Pope Benedict XVI

Prayer to Our Lady of Sheshan by Pope Benedict XVI
Pope Benedict XVI wrote this prayer in 2008 and asked that Christians throughout the world recite it on May 24. Virgin Most Holy, Mother of the Incarnate Word and our mother, venerated in the Shrine of Sheshan under the title “Help of Christians,” the entire Church in China looks to you with devout affection.  We...

Silence and Word

Silence and Word
          From PromoteCatholicism.NewEvangelizers.com: On Wednesday, May 23, we’re asking you to take a one-day break from posting on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Pinterest, etc. … and use that day to reflect on the Pope’s words about the role of silence in communication and evangelization. Then, on Thursday, May 24, please... Read more »

The New Evangelization of the Catholic Church

The New Evangelization of the Catholic Church
In a strange way, I’ve always admired the Jehovah Witnesses and other people of faith who went door to door to evangelize.  That takes guts that I just don’t have. My father-in-law relished any knock on the door that challenged his Catholic beliefs.  He would whip out his bible and go head-to-head with anyone who... Read more »

Real Discrimination

Thumbnail image for 'Real Discrimination'
Usually on my Facebook page things are pretty calm, but every once in a while the conversation gets very heated.  I do have to give everybody credit for keeping things civil though. I’m usually the one who loses it and has to walk away from the computer!  When I return, those with clearer heads have prevailed... Read more »

The "Love One Another" Stuff

The "Love One Another" Stuff
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us. – 1 John 4:11-16 (from today’s first reading) It’s tricky business this “love one another” stuff.  It’s hard...

Lord, Get Us to the Church on Time During the NATO Summit!

Lord, Get Us to the Church on Time During the NATO Summit!
            As you may have heard the NATO summit is being held here in Chicago.  I couldn’t have cared less except for the fact that my husband, myself and a friend of ours sing at St. Therese Chinese Catholic Church in Chinatown at the 5 PM Mass today just blocks from McCormick Place where...

I have different sizes of cups.  The morning one has to be at least as big as my head.  ;-)

The Obama Catholics

Thumbnail image for 'The Obama Catholics'
I think I know several of the seventy-five percent of those Catholics who don’t go to Church in Michael Voris’ video.  And the moniker “Obama Catholics” literally turns my blood cold and makes my stomach churn. In his campaign and early days of his presidency, Obama touted hope and change and when it didn’t happen... Read more »

The Book of Acts in Three Minutes

Thumbnail image for 'The Book of Acts in Three Minutes '
When I first converted, the Book of Acts was one of my favorites.  I had one of those wonderful little pocket paperbacks of just that book with beautiful pictures of the locations where everything had taken place. I hope this little video will spark your interest in reading the Book of Acts whether its for... Read more »

Barack 'Herod' Obama

Thumbnail image for 'Barack 'Herod' Obama'
Michael Voris is what I would call a “pit bull Catholic.”  Once he sinks his teeth in, he doesn’t let go.  There are times when he is extreme but in this case, I don’t think he is. When our president announced he was for gay marriage, my first thought was “he’s going to do anything... Read more »
