Headlines Am I Not Your Neighbor? New Abolition Movement Needs a New Symbol to End Abortion By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 7, 2014 Josiah Wedgwood was a potter, industrialist and entrepreneur. He was also an abolitionist. He crafted a medallion which bore this inscription - Am I not a man and a brother? It is credited with moving the heart of the United States of America to reject the evil of slavery. It depicted a Black Man, bound by the chains which came from the evil of slavery, pleading for His God Given Right to Freedom. It bore these words, "Am I not a man and a brother?" He sent several of the medallions to Benjamin Franklin in 1788. Franklin gave them to several of his friends and was deeply moved by their response. Franklin wrote back to the designer - I am persuaded it may have an effect equal to that of the best written pamphlet in procuring honor to those oppressed people. Continue Reading... Pope Francis Teaches on the Beatitudes: Portrait of Jesus and the Path to Happiness By Catholic Online | August 7, 2014 As Moses stipulated regarding the Covenant with God in accordance with the law received on Sinai, so Jesus, from a hill on the shore of Lake Galilee, gives to his disciples and to the crowd a new teaching that begins with the Beatitudes. Moses gave the Law on Sinai and Jesus, the new Moses, gives the Law on that hill, on the shore of Lake Galilee. The Beatitudes are the path that God indicates as an answer to the desire of happiness inherent in man, and perfects the Commandments of the Old Covenant. We are used to learning the Ten Commandments - you certainly all know them, your learned them in catechism - but we are not used to repeating the Beatitudes.- Pope Francis Continue Reading... Jesus Asks Today: Who Do You Say That I Am? By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 7, 2014 The same question is asked of each one of us - WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? It is not just once - but continually. It is meant to inform the response of our entire life. How we answer that question determines who we will become and how we live. It is a question which cannot be answered indirectly, or halfheartedly. It is not enough to rely on what - some say. The question is profoundly personal as well as public. Who is Jesus Christ to ME?

It is Time to Live the Feast of the Transfiguration By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 6, 2014 From the earliest centuries, the Christian Church emphasized the centrality of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Our experience of our life in the Lord - and in His Church - is only the beginning of what is to come in the kingdom. However, our life is already a participation in that new reality. The Church, in the words of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, is a seed of the kingdom to come. Our life within the Church is a participation in the eternal realities of the life to come in a new heaven and a new earth - that begins in the here and now. The commemoration of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ invites us to reflect on what this all can mean for us - right now. As we reflect on the Transfiguration of Jesus, let us enter more deeply into the mystery it reveals by living in the Transfiguration now. It truly is good for us to be here. Let us draw encouragement from the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ and respond to the invitations of grace in our daily lives in order to grow more fully into the Image and likeness of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord revealing His Transfigured glory to a world waiting to be born anew.
