Headlines Archbishop William E. Lori Teaches Christians How to Explain and Defend Religious Liberty By Deacon Keith Fournier | October 30, 2013 We must face the facts, the first freedom, religious freedom, is under a ferocious assault in the United States of America. Further, the Catholic Church is increasingly being threatened at the very heart of her mission. Religious faith and the values informed by faith serve and promote the common good. Religious freedom is a fundamental and basic human right which must be secured and protected by law in truly free Nations. Rightly understood and properly respected, religious freedom means a freedom for religious expression; not a removal of such expression from public places. Continue Reading... Achard of St. Victor: 'Punishment Has Some Likeness to God' By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. | October 30, 2013 A Juggernaut of a doctrine, the modern "God is love" teaching, when not properly offered, can trample everything before it, including justice and punishment--indeed even, if some modern theologians are to be believed, an eternal Hell. Now, that God is love is absolutely true. (1 John 4:8) It is dogma. But it does not follow that a God of love does not also judge and punish. Love and judgment, love and punishment are not opposites. Punishment which follows judgment is not necessarily inconsistent with love. Continue Reading... WEDNESDAY HOMILY: Humility is the Key to the Narrow Gate By Fr Samuel Medley, SOLT | October 30, 2013 A humble and contrite heart is the key that opens the narrow gate. Jesus Most Sacred Heart, source of all humility, contrition, grace, and mercy, prays and intercedes for you. Next time you receive Jesus in holy communion. Be still. Know Jesus is God. And allow Him to ask the Father for your salvation. Continue Reading... Homily of Pope Francis for World Family Day: Christian Families are Missionaries By Pope Francis | October 30, 2013 We all know that families, especially young families, are often "racing" from one place to another, with lots to do. But did you ever think that this "racing" could also be the race of faith? Christian families are missionary families, in their everyday life, in their doing everyday things, as they bring to everything the salt and the leaven of faith! Continue Reading... Mary: Mother of the Domestic Church and Queen of the Family By Deacon Keith Fournier | October 30, 2013 The beloved disciple John tells us of the last gift that Jesus gave to all of us before He surrendered His life for the redemption of the world. That gift was His Mother: When Jesus saw his mother* and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19:26,27) From the earliest centuries of the Church this gift of a mother has been reflected upon in some of the most beautiful writings in the Christian tradition. Continue Reading... Tuesday Homily: Saved in Hope By Fr. Roger J. Landry | October 29, 2013 The connection between faith and charity gets a lot of attention in Sacred Scripture and in Catholic homiletics. St. Paul calls us to a faith that works itself out through love (Gal 5:16). St. James reminds us that faith without works is dead (James 2:20). Jesus himself multiply praises those who not only hear the word of God but put it into practice. The connection between faith and hope is less pondered, because we're living in an age in which we've stuffed ourselves with so many lesser goals that the great goal and hope of the Christian life has for many faded into the unconscious background. Continue Reading... For a Future of Freedom: Elect E.W. Jackson Lieutenant Governor of Virginia By Keith A. Fournier | October 30, 2013 Like most Americans, I am tired of cardboard politicians who smile and glad-hand, pretending that they have convictions, until they get into office and turn their access into a stepping stone to pursue a different agenda. We need a change. E.W. Jackson is that change. We can build a future of authentic freedom for our children and grandchildren. However, to do so, we need men and women in public office like E.W. Jackson. I invite all Virginians to join me on November 5, 2013 and elect him to the office of Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  MONDAY HOMILY: Praying as Jesus Did By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | October 28, 2013 When he prayed, did Jesus, in his human nature, pause over the name of Judas? Perhaps this was the first time that the Lord said to his Father, "if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done." Continue Reading...
