And Out of the Darkness Will Come a Great Light

Fr. Barron, always worth listening to, has a very thought provoking video about the rising and more visible Anti-Catholic sentiment in our country.  How will you respond?  The gospel from today's Mass tells of light coming out of the darkness.  As we enter another "dark age" here in the United States when it comes to religious freedom we will have plenty of opportunities to let our light shine out in the darkness for the Truth.

On a Lighter Note

We all hunger for God's mercy, and Lord knows we all need it.  We also need to be reminded of the immense beauty and raw power of His creation.  I offer for your viewing pleasure this link to Nicholas Wegner's web site and his incredible time-lapse video of Wyoming called Wyoming II.  The first one is good too….and he has a beautiful image gallery there as well.  Enjoy!

Roe v Wade Anniversary Homily

As Barbara, two of the Dominican Sisters from Notre Dame High School, and about 105 other pilgrims  including several of our OLM kids are aboard chartered buses heading back from Washington DC on an all night road trip home it is appropriate to reflect upon why they took 3 days out of their lives and went up to DC to participate in the March for Life.  Given that, I hope that you will take 10 minutes to listen to this homily given by Fr. David Carter last weekend.  Refreshing candor not often heard from the pulpit!  We must all do what we can to join the battle for the innocent lives of the "unborn."  May God be merciful!
