The first is the prayerlessness that comes from failing to pray, and the second is the prayerlessness that comes from failing to pray in prayer. ---Cyril Opoku See what sad things prayerlessness has done! The Church that is, is not the Church that was. And the difference is one: PRAYER. They were uneducated men, and far from being experts in the Torah. They were not privileged with the many seminaries that have pampered this generation. Beautiful cathedrals were only existent in their dreams of heaven....

"The devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament is a devotion of Paradise because it is the devotion which the Angels and Saints of Heaven also have." -Fr. Stephano Manelli Devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament is devotion to the Body of Our Lord which was bruised, scourged, and crucified so that we may have the forgiveness of sins. It is equally devotion to the Blood of Our Lord which was shed so that we may be washed clean. Eucharistic devotion unites us with the Soul of Christ, which sanctifies us at every moment. It is also devotion to the Divinity of Our Lord, to which Christ unites ...

The very men who, in the pride of their investigations into the secrets of the material world, turn a look of scorn upon the Christian system of belief, are not aware how much ...

What do we learn from St. Joseph? Saint Joseph teaches us virtue, especially practicing patience and silence, which is very hard to do. Saint Joseph is always calm, always peaceful. He is a great model for interior life. He was in a constant state of communion with God, something we should all imitate. His work was his prayer and his prayer was his work. St. Joseph is a powerful patron. He is, as John Paul II called him, the Guardian of the Redeemer. He humbly accepted his role as guardian, husband and father in the Holy Family. Therefore, St. Joseph’s intercession has been sought for ...

There is a banner or standard that the Lord is raising up in this hour. God desires that the whole Church rally at its base. The banner represents God’s desire to restore the Melchizedek priesthood to His Church – to call all believers to minister to God and to their spheres of influence. If this call to the priesthood is the standard we are to raise up before the Church, we must get down to the business of defining and, more importantly, moving into that calling. In Return of the Priests, Thomas Schlueter defines the priesthood and uses simple terminology and everyday illustrations to ...

From Cheryl’s Journal: Why am I like this? What is wrong with me? Why am I so afraid? I can’t control my anxiety; these fears seem to overtake me. Does anyone know how I feel?
