Give a Seminarian a Library
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 10:52 AM
Perhaps you’ve seen this initiative mentioned elsewhere on the web today, but I wanted to make sure our friends here at Faith & Family Live know about the fantastic “Africa eBook Project” being headed up by blogger Brandon Vogt. Here’s a brief video which describes Brandon’s initiative to get a digital library of Catholic classics into the hands of 2,000 seminarians studying in Africa.
Won’t you please consider joining my family in making a small donation today to this incredible initiative? Imagine that for less than the price of a cup of coffee, you can give the gift of a full digital library to someone who is giving their life to serve our Church. Learn more and give your gift today at http://www.indiegogo.com/africa.
Westward, Ho!

The most wonderful photos of the American West are on offer over at The Atlantic site.
Pop over and see 34 photographs taken in the 1860s and 70s by photographer Timothy O’Sullivan.
O’Sullivan was sent as part of a government team of soldiers and surveyors of various kinds to see what use to make of the natural resources.
In his travels he took astonishingly beautiful photographs of the rugged terrain, and documented settler life and that of Native Americans.
My favorite qua photograph is #27 of his Mojave translator and guide. But the photos from a silver mine and the skyline of Santa Fe in 1870 are fascinating.
Which are your favorites?

An Act of Courage—And Mercy
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Friday, May 25, 2012 1:00 PM
Did you catch “the Crescat’s” sad and beautiful story of her post-abortion experience?
You owe it to yourself to read it.
I’m sure the post must be of God, since it accomplishes a minor miracle: the comments make one proud, rather than ashamed, to be a Christian!
Read through them and let anyone fearing to confess sin see the love and mercy that awaits not only from Christ himself, but from his Church. That’s what Christians are really like—in spite of what you may see in the com-boxes when we are debating in the abstract.
Thank you, Katrina Fernandez, for your bold confession.
And for this follow-up post filled with resources for women who have experienced the trauma of abortion.
Talking Truth

Jennifer Fulwiler, who recently witnessed a horrific accident, writes at her NC Register blog about seeing a Catholic counselor to help her process her traumatic experience. She had doubts - would therapy be “misused as a replacement for prayer and trust in God”? - but explains in her piece how she overcame those doubts, and how seeing a counselor is helping her heal.
As someone who has greatly benefitted... READ MORE
The Burden of Infertility
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, May 25, 2012 9:00 AM
Many of us will never know the tremendous sadness of infertility. We go about our day and focus on how God uses our family size, our openness to life, to draw us closer to Him through trust in his love for us—even in the hard seasons of busy family life.
For some couples, there is a similar lesson in trust, through opposite circumstances entirely. And unless you know someone very personally struggling... READ MORE
