What's So Great About The Assumption?

AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito

I made an apologetics blunder this weekend.

My daughter and I were in New York on a “girls’ weekend out” trip and staying with a beloved aunt who is not a believer.

Usually when we’re in town we go to Mass in her neighborhood, but for the Assumption, we wanted to do something special and went to St. Patrick’s cathedral.

My aunt had never heard of the Assumption and wanted to know what it was. Like... READ MORE 


The Rosary In Real Life

says you: how do you pray the rosary?
http://www.deaconlaz.org/THE%20ROSARY.htm

Do you pray the rosary and do you love it?

Pope Benedict XVI recently prayed the rosary in public at Fatima, and before him John Paul II wrote an entire encyclical on the rosary.

Believing in the rosary’s power isn’t the same thing as knowing how to pray, is it?

Even knowing literally how to pray it (which prayers on which beads) isn’t the same thing as knowing how to pray it, is it?

The 13th Day

Remembering Our Lady of Fatima, a special priest, and a poignant movie

Today, I will attend the funeral of my dear friend and lifelong pastor, Msgr. Michael Collins.  Father Collins was known for many things - his quick wit, his love for music, but most of all his tremendous devotion to Our Lady and her Rosary.  It seems especially fitting that we should celebrate his funeral Mass and lay him to rest on the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima.

Last night, we gathered in... READ MORE 


For Your Intentions

A prayer for each of you!

This week, I am on a visit in the Midwest and am also spending time at my Alma Mater, the University of Notre Dame for Alumni meetings and a book signing on Saturday at 1 pm in the campus bookstore.  Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the lovely grotto for some time of quiet prayer.  I remembered each of you Catholic moms in my prayers as I lit a candle for...
