Headlines Alabama Supreme Court Recognizes Child in the Womb Has Fundamental Rights By Deacon Keith Fournier | April 22, 2014 Because a human life with a full genetic endowment comes into existence at the moment of conception, the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights encompasses the moment of conception. Legal recognition of the unborn as members of the human family derives ultimately from the laws of nature and nature's God, who created human life in His image and protected it with the commandment: 'Thou shall not kill.'

Billy Graham's son says. What did he mean? By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | April 21, 2014 Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of legendary Christian evangelist Billy Graham has never been one to conceal his opinions. "We should be afraid of sharia law" in America, and Muslims here who want to practice sharia should go back to where they came from, "to those nations that recognize sharia law," Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association says.

Hudson | April 22, 2014 We know that St. Peter's Square will be overflowing with happy faces, banners waving, and spontaneous outburst of songs - in many languages - who will greet the arrival and presence of Pope Francis. What would the mood be like in Washington Square at the memorial service of the world's best known "militant atheist"? Continue Reading... Pope Francis Easter Vigil Homily: Where is My Galilee? Encountering Jesus By Pope Francis | April 21, 2014 Galilee is the place where they were first called, where everything began! To return there, to return to the place where they were originally called. Jesus had walked along the shores of the lake as the fishermen were casting their nets. He had called them, and they left everything and followed him (cf. Mt 4:18-22). To return to Galilee means to re-read everything on the basis of the cross and its victory. To re-read everything - Jesus' preaching, his miracles, the new community, the excitement and the defections, even the betrayal - to re-read everything starting from the end, which is a new beginning, from this supreme act of love. For each of us, too, there is a "Galilee" at the origin of our journey with Jesus. "To go to Galilee" means something beautiful, it means rediscovering our baptism as a living fountainhead, drawing new energy from the sources of our faith and our Christian experience.

By Deacon Keith Fournier | April 21, 2014 I just watched Pope Francis preside at the Easter Vigil at the Basilica of St Peter. His homily on encountering Jesus and finding our own Galilee was beautiful. Now, I am about to depart for the Easter Vigil at my parish in Chesapeake, Virginia. I will greet the elect who nervously - but excitedly- await the reception of the Easter Sacraments. The miracles which have occurred in their lives throughout this period of instruction remind me that we are living in a new missionary age of the Church. The same Holy Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead is at work in the Church, which He founded and over which He presides. We need not be afraid of anything which is occurring in our time.  Urbi Et Orbi: Pope Francis Gives Easter Message to the City and the World By Pope Francis | April 21, 2014 The message which Christians bring to the world is this: Jesus, Love incarnate, died on the cross for our sins, but God the Father raised him and made him the Lord of life and death. In Jesus, love has triumphed over hatred, mercy over sinfulness, goodness over evil, truth over falsehood, life over death.  Holy Saturday: God has Died in the Flesh and Hell Trembles with Fear By Deacon Keith Fournier | April 20, 2014 Something strange is happening - there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear. He has gone to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow the captives Adam and Eve, he who is both God and the son of Eve. The Lord approached them bearing the cross, the weapon that had won him the victory. Continue Reading...
