Headlines The Pope of Mercy Tells the Church Mercy Alone Saves Us From the Cancer of Sin By Deacon Keith Fournier | September 18, 2013 This Pope is the Pope of Mercy. In both his words and witness he makes mercy real to a world desperately in need of experiencing its liberating effect. He cautioned the faithful that "if we live according to the law of 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', we cannot come out of the spiral of evil. The Evil One is smart. He dupes us into thinking that human justice can save us and save the world. In fact, only God's justice can save us! And God's justice revealed itself on the Cross." Continue Reading... Archbishop Nienstedt is Right, Satan Does Seek to Destroy Marriage By Deacon Keith Fournier | September 18, 2013 Today, many evil forces have set their sights on the dissolution of marriage and the debasing of family life. Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just some of the forces threatening the stability of our civilization. The source of these machinations is none other than the Father of Lies. Satan knows all too well the value that the family contributes to the fabric of a good solid society, as well as the future of God's work on earth.  Simplicity: St Augustines Sermons to Pastors and the Message of Pope Francis Cut to the Chase By Deacon Keith Fournier | September 18, 2013 Since he said 'yes' to the invitation and call to become the successor of St. Peter, this Pope who took the name Francis has, as we say, 'cut to the chase'. The expression means dealing with the major points and leaving out less important matters or words. He has done so with love which is laced with bluntness at times. One area in which he has repeatedly done this is in his messages to the bishops and priests of the Catholic Church. He has asked them, in both his words as well as the witness of his simple life, to live their own vocation in simplicity and holiness. Continue Reading... WEDNESDAY HOMILY: My Motherlessness Makes Me Malcontent By Fr Samuel Medley, SOLT | September 18, 2013 When they come to a personal, real, tender, interior, loving knowledge of the Woman who loves them and cares sweetly for the pains of their heart, they have a kind of waking up, a conversion, a healing, and they are then able to laugh with the laughing, cry with the crying, dance with the dancing and become free in the freedom of the children of God.

Pope Francis Is Correct: A Good Catholic Meddles in Politics By Deacon Keith Fournier | September 18, 2013 In his daily homily of September 16, 2013 Pope Francis used the account of the Roman Centurion to dabble in politics. (Luke 7:1-10) He spoke to those in public office. He also addressed the question of whether Christians should participate in politics. There is no solidarity in a culture that kills its own children and calls such evil a legal right.What we face in America is a moral crisis. The leadership crisis flows directly from it.  TUESDAY HOMILY: The Collision of Two Processions By Fr. Roger J. Landry | September 17, 2013 When we began this Year of Faith, Pope Benedict wanted us to ponder the fact that the life of faith is a pilgrimage, a journey, an exodus of a lifetime. One of the greatest discoveries on that pilgrimage is that there is another pilgrimage going on. As we are journeying toward the Lord, we discover that he is coming to meet us. There's perhaps no greater illustration of this spiritual reality than today's Gospel from Nain. Continue Reading...

Reynolds | September 16, 2013 The centurion's greeting made such a deep impression upon Jesus and his disciples that they were preserved in the ancient liturgy of the Church.
