Martyrs In Mosul
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 3:30 PM
From the Hanc Aquam blog comes this sad report.
The Prioress of the Adrian Dominicans writes:
“As of now, the five elderly sisters who have been holding down the Motherhouse are choosing to remain there because they do not want to lose their Motherhouse to the terrorists. She said most Christians are making plans to evacuate from Iraq and, as a consequence, she does not know what will happen with... READ MORE
That Useless Old Internet
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 2:00 PM
I was amused recently to read a 1995 Newsweek column by Clifford Stoll, in which he predicts the demise of that useless old internet thing.
A small sample:
Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
First of all, back... READ MORE
Overcome Your Lenten Temptations
Posted by Fr. John Bartunek, LC in Faith on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 12:00 PM
Q: My 11-year-old son decided to give up sweets for Lent, but at two weeks into Lent he’s in misery about wishing to have a dessert.
I have coached him from different angles—“Look what a strong person you are becoming” or “Why don’t you choose a different sacrifice? You know you can change your sacrifice” or “When you really want that sweet and you feel angry or desperate, think of Christ’s suffering... READ MORE
5 Reasons I Love Twitter

1) Speed and Ease.
It’s the fastest, easiest way I’ve found to jot down the funny things my kids say, the delicious moments that flit past so quickly: the things I want to remember forever—but won’t, if I don’t record them. I used to use little slips of paper stuck to the fridge, or notebooks that were never at hand when I needed them. A friend recently referred to these home-life tweets as “the art... READ MORE
It's a Girl
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 10:00 AM
On Saturday, March 6th the world got just a little bit sweeter with the birth of precious little Maddalena Marie Sansone, the first daughter of Chris and Sarah Sansone. You likely know and love Maddalena’s mommy—Sarah Bauer, the lovely Catholic artist who is the voice behind our Faith & Family Live Cast’s theme song “Radiance”.
I’ve been a Sarah Bauer groupie for years. My love for her music grew... READ MORE

Spring's Not-So-Fun Side
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 9:18 PM
It’s unseasonably warm for Michigan right now, with highs in the 50s all week.
How fondly I remember the springs of my past, when I could enjoy the suddenly warm temperatures, the melted snow trickling along the gutters, the trilling of birds newly-arrived from the south. Early spring, with all its promise, was one of my favorite times of year.
I’ve even managed to enjoy it through the past few years,... READ MORE
Surprise!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 9:00 PM
I was intrigued and amazed by this story at Foxnews.com today about a woman who discovered she was pregnant —THREE HOURS before giving birth to a healthy, full-term baby.
As I reflect on the last eight months, of week after week of noting changes in my body, my outlook, my ability to walk like a normal human, I cannot imagine being pregnant and not knowing it. How is this possible? And also, how scary!... READ MORE
Lenten Calendar
Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 3:30 PM
I went over to my sister’s the other day and I noticed the kids’ Lenten calendars on the fridge. I glanced over the daily resolutions.
Handwritten, in each box were little sacrifices or good works: write letter to Pat, no Wii, make my bed, no computer, draw Aunt Robyn a picture (like the one shown here by my niece Fiona).
It reminded me of Lent growing up in my house.
Mom didn’t make dessert very... READ MORE
Seventy-Seven Times
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 2:00 PM
We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends. Francis Bacon
The scene played itself out this morning as it does about four times per week. The younger brother, anxious to get out the door to school early so he could have time with his friends. The older brother—the chauffeur—nursing a bad case of “senioritis” and wanting to eek out every... READ MORE
