This is a favorite story from Amazing Grace for the Catholic Heart. Billy Lutter tumbled to the wooden floor of his home. His parents picked him up and tried again to help him walk. It was no use. Doctors had been telling the Lutters to institutionalize five-year old Billy for some time. This was 1939…
Hillary Clinton followed President Obama’s lead when she picked a vice-president candidate who claims allegiance to the Catholic Church while pursing anti-Catholic ends. Senator Tim Kaine describes himself as a devout Catholic. Is that possible? No, not if being Catholic means anything.
If people with Down syndrome are especially loveable, then why do so many mothers chose abortion when they discover it in their unborn baby? Fear. That is the main reason. Rather than trust God and open themselves up to a new world, they tragically miss out on the gift he had for them.
While selling books after a women’s retreat 15 years ago, a woman with graying hair deliberately stayed at the very back of the line. Everyone was gone by the time she reached me. Holding out a book for me to sign, the woman smiled nervously. We made small talk, then, she cautiously looked around. “I want to…
It’s sad that a secular newspaper will publish a full length article on New Age recommendations for healing but you never see anything that promotes Catholic truths–the real truth. I wrote a letter to the Miami Herald regarding their recent New Age article. I’m going to do a full length article on his topic, but…
The old adage: An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure, is especially true in the spiritual realm. The exorcism and deliverance ministry usually addresses problems arising from a lack of spiritual protection or someone purposely opening the door to evil. Fr. Patrick (not his real name) a parish priest who has been…
When Rhoda Wise died on July 7 in 1948, more than 14,000 people attended her funeral at St. Peter’s Church in Canton, Ohio. That’s equivalent to the population of an entire town! I first heard about her only a few years ago when I read in Raymond Arroyo’s biography on Mother Angelica that Mother was…
I’m very proud of the honor our Catholic hospitals received last month. Given that the culture of death is so aggressively pushing forward these days, I’m taking last month’s American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) angry report against Catholic hospitals: “Health Care Denied,” as an honor. The ACLU is enraged that Catholic Hospitals are so good…
Trying to save a son from the consequences of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster is not acceptable. Brock Turner’s parents pleaded to the judge for mercy after a jury convicted their son of 3 felony counts of sexual assault. Any loving parent wants mercy for their child just as we all want it…
Atheists consider the number of people that have been born in the history of the world and then they consider God and surmise: No way! They can’t wrap their minds around God creating so many people and loving each one. I can’t wrap my mind around it either, until I consider what being God means. It means…
On Sunday, May 22, 2016, the local bishop of San Nicolas, Argentina, Most. Reverend Hector Cardelli, announced that the apparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary are “supernatural in character” and “worthy of belief.” A devout Catholic housewife with no formal education, claimed the Blessed Mother had visited her daily for 6 ½ years and that…
“You really were the Savior? And I had you killed!” Imagine Pontius Pilate at the moment of his death. And all the soldiers that delighted in scourging and crucifying Jesus. The Jewish Sanhedrin who refused to consider that the Messiah was in their midst, must have been horrified when death revealed the truth. Imagine the…
