“They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.” (Is 40:31) Chastisements and different kinds of calamities are breaking out all over the world. For the Church in Western Europe, North America and Australia, Good Friday[…]
For some reason, the saints on these two days in mid-March, buried in the midst of these Lenten days, have had some connection with Islam: March 12th was the commemoration of Saint Theophanes the Chronicler (ca. 758 – 818), from a noble Byzantine family, who used his wealth to set up his own monastery –[…]
Today marks the eleventh anniversary of the election of Jorge Borgoglio to the Chair of Saint Peter as Pope Francis. Whatever one thinks of him, and his controversial papacy, we should pray for the man, his soul and his tenure, and that God’s will be done, as holy and as perfect as it might be[…]
I’m not sure how much of Dr. Robin May’s presentation (posted below) of the human fossil record is science, or fiction – like most hypothetical theories without a whole lot of evidence, probably a bit of both, and I would tend more heavily towards the latter than the former.

Ask Jesus to make you a saint. After all, only He can do that. Go to confession regularly and to Communion as often as you can. (Saint Dominic Savio, +1857)
Can one jump down one’s own throat? This was G.K. Chesterton’s reply to those who claim that anything is possible.

Joint research by The Lepanto Institute and the Population Research Institute (PRI) into CRS projects focused on Cameroon, Zimbabwe, and Lesotho. The investigation was prompted by learning that CRS had led the implementation of a PEPFAR program[…]
March 11th is the traditional feast of Saint Sophronius (560 – 638), patriarch of Jerusalem from 634 to his death on this day in 638. As a young man, Sophronius adopted the life of an ascetic, then a monk, and eventually chosen as patriarch. He wrote voluminously – sadly, much is lost, including a collection[…]
Yes, as a follow-up to our post the other day on the proposed change to Ireland’s constitution: Well, the Irish had enough sense in the referendum to reject the re-definition of marriage, motherhood and family, and, apparently, by a significant margin. I also just read that the Emmanuel Macron, after pushing for the ‘right to[…]
What would Pope Saint John Paul II think of International Women’s Day (IWD), which was celebrated on March 8th, whose theme is the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women? One promotes their dignity and never tramples upon their innate vocation for motherhood, as abortion proponents would tend to do. One of the great[…]
