My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls....
Earlier today I witnessed what I would describe as a horrible display of understanding of Church teaching I have ever seen and from "solid" Catholics. My heart is so heavy over this and while not despairing, I am close and clinging to Christ Crucified right now. We often hear of the tern "cafeteria Catholic" and it...
My friend posted something today and it turned into politics, natch. Her friend is a Santorum supporter and I am, well, it's pretty obvious, I'd rather have a root canal than to vote for him.

Terrorism threatens, wounds, and kills indiscriminately; it is gravely against justice and charity. Torture which uses physical or moral violence to...
I am pretty disgusted with so called Pro Life groups supporting a candidate who think nothing wrong with funding Title X, yet ignore the man who has introduced more pro-life legislation than any other person in Congress. Honestly, why aren't more people upset about this? Are we perfectly okay to sit back and let our...
“Have you ever bothered to think how absurd it is to leave one’s Catholicism aside on entering a university, or a professional association, or a scholarly meeting, or a congress, as if you were checking your hat at the door?” - the Beloved St. Josemaria Escriva
