WA Post Photo If you watched the World Series, perhaps “Baby Shark” became stuck in your head thanks to Gerardo Parra. He was the high energy outfielder for the winning team, the Washington Nationals. A big part of Parra’s acclaim had to do with his walk-up song “Baby Shark” that threw the stadium into an “infectious” pep…
Sometimes I yearn for a voice from above to shout: “Catholics, use your weapons!” To do nothing about all hell breaking loose is to join the other side.
We are not to lose hope even in the face of the nightly evening news. We have Jesus and all the treasures of the Catholic Church. And on October 7, we have the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, also known as Our Lady of Victory. This feast shows us the way to victory.
“Jesus, I Trust in You,” was the message of Divine Mercy that Jesus gave to us through Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. She was the third of ten children, born in Poland on August 25, 1905, died October 5, 1938, and canonized on April 30, 2000. As a sister with the Congregation of the Sisters of Our…

His name is Hebrew for “Who is like God?” which was the battle cry of the good angels when they cast the rebellious Lucifer and his followers into hell.
