Headlines Happy New Year: Starting Over, Beginning Again and Making Resolutions Reality By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 1, 2014 GK Chesterton wrote: The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions.

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God: The Law Fulfilled and Salvation Brought to the World through Christ By Deacon F. K. Bartels | January 1, 2014 All history, past, present and future, culminates in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became man and assumed human nature in order to restore humanity, that we might gain what was lost.

Do we live this way? Continue Reading...

Feast of the Holy Family: At the School of Nazareth We Learn to Become Holy By Deacon Keith Fournier | December 29, 2013 Family is where progress in the Christian life, the way of ordinary holiness, can find its raw material. Whether we choose to respond to grace - and develop the eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to accept the hidden invitations to learn to love beneath the surface of that daily stuff - is all wrapped up in the mystery of human freedom. Our choices not only affect the world around us, they make us become the people we will become. Continue Reading... Patriarch Bartholomew: For 2013 Years Jesus has been Persecuted by Contemporary Herods By NAT da Polis | December 29, 2013 For 2013 years - exclaimed Bartholomew - Our Lord is killed every day in the person of thousands of embryos killed by the will of their parents.
