Headlines Anti-Christian Attacks Continue in Egypt: Trial Against Muslim Brotherhood Leaders Set By Asia News | August 6, 2013 More clashes are feared as the Muslim Brotherhood continues its sit-in despite bans by the army and the Interior Ministry. General Al-Sisi talks to Salafists. Envoys from the US, EU, UAE, and Qatar visit Cairo. Al Qaeda accuses Christians of complicity with the \"coup\" as attacks on churches and faithful continue.

The first is at Jesus' baptism, when he declares that Jesus is his Son in whom he is well-pleased. The last is during the Last Supper, when Jesus asks him to glorify his name and the Father responds "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again" (Jn 12:28). The only other time we hear him speak is in this event of the Transfiguration that we celebrate today. Continue Reading... The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ: What Does it Mean For Us Right Now? By Deacon Keith Fournier | August 6, 2013 The Transfiguration. Does it seem somewhat esoteric or perhaps a bit too theological? On this Feast Day we are invited to consider whether the truth it reveals is being embraced and experienced in our own daily lives. It is not meant only for theologians to speculate over- or for mystics alone to encounter. We are all invited into the experience. The path up that mountain proceeds through prayer and encounter. On that Mountain, Jesus revealed before mortal eyes the Transcendent Truth of who He is - and who Peter, James and John - and each one of us - will become in Him. They were invited to exercise their freedom and embrace the path that He had prepared. So are we, right now.  MONDAY HOMILY: Giving Everything By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | August 5, 2013 The apostles didn't hold anything in reserve for themselves. They gave everything to the Lord, as he asked. There was no provision for a personal safety net; everything was entrusted to God. Continue Reading... Lord, Have Mercy: A Prayer for a Nation in Rebellion By Matt Barber | August 6, 2013 We confess our national sins and entreat Your forgiveness. We confess our arrogance. We confess our selfishness. We confess that we have broken - and continue to break - the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God. We have rejected Your laws, embraced our own fallen impulses and called them laws. Continue Reading... They Took Offense At Him: Courageous Christians Needed. Are We Willing to Lose Human Respect? By Deacon Keith Fournier | August 4, 2013 This was his first visit to Nazareth, his own hometown, after He began His public ministry. In the ordinariness of His Sacred Humanity, He was simply too much for them. They took offense at God Incarnate! After all, he was the son of a carpenter, and his extended family lived in the neighborhood! How could He preach this kind of message of repentance? How could he work miracles? So it is with those who bear His name - Christians - if we truly seek to walk in His ways, to participate in His ongoing redemptive mission, to be faithful to His continued work, through His Body, the Church, of which we are members. They will - they do - take offense at us!  Primerea: The Spanish Slang at the Heart of Pope Francis's Theology By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. | August 5, 2013 God, Pope Francis says, "nos primerea." The expression "nos primerea" is in Lunfardo Porteño, or Buenos Aires street slang. It is the language not of high-brow Castilian, but low Spanish, the Spanish of the barrio. It is not a theological term even in Spanish, but a popular term and reflects Pope Francis's pastoral sensibilities. It means that God always "bests" us, always "firsts" us, always is therefore before us, anticipating us. God loves us first, seeks us out first, awaits us first. Continue Reading... Maybe It IS Time for a New Political Party in the United States, or at Least a New Political Movement By Deacon Keith A. Fournier | August 5, 2013 Both major political parties are corrupted. Many who lead them have either forgotten or denied that there even is a moral basis for a free society. Their leaders insist that social and economic issues are separate, proposing a form of social schizophrenia. They are mistaken. Just as the human person is a unity of body and soul - and the separation of the two can lead to dualism - so, in the body politic, the separation of moral truths from economic and international concerns erodes a Nations foundation and leads to collapse.
