Everyone suffers and everyone needs graces. The devotion to our Lady of Sorrows unites our suffering with that of the Blessed Mother’s. Imagine what it was like for her to watch her beloved son beaten and bloodied, carrying the cross he was then crucified on. We can’t even imagine.
The secular media’s enthusiasm for Poland’s pro-abortion protest on October 2, after years of ignoring the much bigger March for Life in Washington, DC, is ironic. Every year at the March for Life in D.C. secular reporting is hard to find despite all the markings of a big news story—a big demonstration drawing hundreds of…
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton does not care about the polls. No, seriously. Sure, she wants to be ahead in them, but the polls that measure the popularity of abortion? She doesn’t care. She and her Planned Parenthood friends want to set the pace and drag everyone else along.
Dear Mary Alice, I saw the article about you titled “San Rafael woman to break canon law to be ordained Catholic priest.” You may have been a great nurse for 35 years, and enjoyed watching the (heretical) movie Pink Smoke Over the Vatican, but those are not qualifications for the priesthood. For starters, a Y…
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…
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…
When Theresa Caput, star of the reality show Long Island Medium came to the Bismarck, North Dakota’s Events Center recently, there was a small group of people across the street praying against her work. It’s unlikely that she knew we were there. Neither did the many hundreds who walked past us on their way to…
Nellie Edward/ PaintedFaith Dear Blessed Mother, I owe you a long overdue apology. Recently, in adoration, while contemplating the suffering and death of Jesus, I glanced upon an image of you. I thought of you watching the torture and death of your Son. I realized that it was thoughtless of me to never have told you…
In Oregon, the beaver state, it is actually legal to be dumber than a beaver. Since January, it’s also legal for teens as young as 15 to have sex change operations paid for by the state and without parental permission. Beavers can do better than that. Adolescence is intended to be outgrown, not a time…
Face to face encounters with the devil is all in a day’s work for an exorcist; followed by dinner, prayers, and a good night’s sleep. They walk amid evil on angels’ wings with unwavering confidence in the power of God.
If the devil is going to show up at some point in a movie, I’d rather not pay to see it. Yet, any exorcist will tell you that it’s the devil that you don’t see that is the most dangerous–the ones that tell you immorality is a good thing and if there’s a God, he…
Painting of Our Lady of Necaragua Somehow, living in the warp speed of our modern world, until just this week, I never heard of the Church-approved apparitions of Our Lady of Nicaragua, also known as Our Lady of Cuapa. The visions with messages for our time, took place from April 15…
