Fasting before the feast the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin August 2, 2009

Today I visited St. Basil the Great Byzantine Church in Irving, TX.   The priest mentioned that from August 1, to August 14, leading up to the feast of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin (called the Assumption by the west), it is customary to fast.  I highly recommend that we all take part in [...]

George Tiller murdered May 31, 2009

Late-term abortionist George Tiller was gunned down at his church today. It is my prayer that he repented of his sins before he died and is now in Heaven, or at least on his way there in Purgatory.  Pray for him, nonetheless.
See Fr. Frank Pavone’s statement.

because I have mingled His Body with my nuptials.
“You will pray to Him as His Mother,
and I will pray to Him as [...]

“Mary Save Us” May 26, 2009

This past weekend I was in San Antonio and I stopped at Christ the King bookstore and found a little booklet called Mary Save Us published by Our Sunday Visitor. The title seemed overly provocative to my former Southern Baptist eyes. I couldn’t read in it to see what it was about, but I was too curious to pass it up. So I shelled out $5.95 plus tax to purchase it. I do not regret it.

Mary and Philosophy January 1, 2009

From Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Fides et Ratio (On Faith and Reason):
I turn in the end to the woman whom the prayer of the Church invokes as Seat of Wisdom, and whose life itself is a true parable illuminating the reflection contained [...]
