Adoration Renews Our Hearts

Here’s what we can learn from Elijah about prayer, according to Benedict XVI.
Each of his presentations on prayer thus far has warned against idolatry, but in analyzing Elijah’s dramatic confrontation with the prophets of Baal, the Pope makes his warning more explicit.
Israel was yielding to the seduction of idolatry—a continual temptation for the believer—by fooling itself into thinking it could... READ MORE
Silence In Hyde Park

Not to belabor the point, but Pope Benedict XVI really won the people of the United Kingdom over.
Here’s an incredible story about that.
Read it if you need some cheering up.
I bring this up again, though, because it highlights one of the most astonishing moments of the trip, more powerful, perhaps, than his many beautiful and pitch-perfect addresses.
That was the moment of exposition of the Blessed... READ MORE
To Find the Answer
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Friday, January 29, 2010
Today was another rough day, and when my (sainted) husband got home from work he suggested I go out by myself for a couple hours while he tackled bedtime solo.
Honestly, I intended to go to the bookstore, but through a concatenation of circumstances I ended up at our parish’s Adoration chapel instead.
During our extended period of subfertility I regularly found solace in Eucharistic Adoration. I would... READ MORE

Christianity Is Not For Wimps

Do you think perhaps God is trying to tell me something?
Here are some stirring quotations that caught my eye in my Google Reader this week. Do you sense a theme?
The first comes from an address Archbishop Chaput gave in Toronto on Monday about the Catholic political vocation. I commend the whole speech to you, but for purposes of this post I’m only going to cite an excerpt he read from a George... READ MORE
I Pledge…

Seen the video various celebrities put out pledging to be better people now that President Obama is in office?
I freely confess it strains my capacity to think charitably of others. They pledge things like smiling, being kind to people, being a good mom.
Honestly. Can you imagine letting your effort to be a decent person depend upon who’s in office? Every four years I stop trying to be good? I think... READ MORE

I thought this was a creative and inspiring video about Eucharistic Adoration.
Vive Le Pape!

I didn’t forget about our weekly Paul 101 session with the Holy Father. He himself paused the series to reflect on his recent trip to France for the 150th anniversary of Lourdes. I always think it’s interesting to read how the Pope himself assesses his pastoral visits.
The entire collection of addresses is here.
There’s almost too much richness to choose from, but here are two highlights. First,... READ MORE
