Here is a poem by Lorraine Labriola, on forgiveness, which we post in light of the Jewish commemoration of Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement – and as you read, you will see why. The notion of forgiveness is deep and complex: Can we forgive, when the other is not ready, or even willing,[…]
In this world we are living in, we greatly feel the need to be encouraged, not least by being offered that discerning guiding inspiration which helps us go on. Today, as we celebrate the feast of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina the Lord is lovingly giving us that inspiration we all need to keep going forward[…]
I recently read a short (152 pages) and small book (each page is 5” by 6”), with beautiful font, and a fittingly short title, Chant, by Katherine le Mée, published in 1994. But don’t let its size fool you, for, in flowing and precise text, it is one of the best treatises that I have[…]

Jim Croce died tragically in a plane crash on this day back in 1973, ironically, just as his music career was taking off. He was returning from a long time away playing gigs on the road, looking forward to a reunion with his beloved wife Ingrid and his two-year son, A.J. Even more ironically, he[…]

So, to end my wondering as per the post today, the blood of Saint Januarius did liquefy, as it does a few times per year, by all accounts, miraculously. At least, there is no scientific explanation for the blood of this fourth-century martyr-bishop not to have completely and irrevocably dried up. The times it has[…]

On September 19th, 1846, Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat, two shepherd children were coming home from tending their flock outside the picturesque hamlet of La Salette, nestled in the French Alps.
