I promised some readers to keep reminders of the Sacred Heart novena on the page this week.

Still All Souls Week
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Thursday, November 05, 2009
In light of Fr. Z’s suggestion that we dedicate today to praying for the souls of departed priests, I thought I’d highlight a portion of the Holy Father’s Angelus Address last Sunday.
(The Pope did his part this morning, celebrating a Mass for cardinals & bishops who have died in the past year.)
“Tomorrow we will observe the annual commemoration of all the deceased faithful. I would like to invite... READ MORE
Year of The Priest Movies
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Friday, June 26, 2009
Did you catch our sister site’s Top 10 Priest Movies?
That list excluded foreign films and stories about bishops and cardinals, but it sparked a blog conversation. B-Movie Catechism has some other choices, as does The American Catholic. More in comments here, too, and this post has some interesting choices.
My top picks would be On the Waterfront, John Ford’s The Fugitive, I Confess and The Cardinal (since he doesn’t become a Cardinal until the end, I don’t think it violates the “priest” rule).
Any these lists miss? Which are your favorites?

While going to greet a priest after Mass many years ago, I accidentally overheard the tail end of a conversation he was having with another parishioner.
She was absolutely excoriating him for the same homily I was about to thank him for.
The homily wasn’t even about a hot-button topic! It was Mother’s Day and he’d preached about mothers and our heavenly mother.
That incident has always stuck with... READ MORE
Chrism Mass in Rome
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Thursday, April 09, 2009
This morning in Rome the Holy Father celebrated the chrism mass.
His homily is a beautiful meditation on the meaning of priesthood and on the meaning of Christian sacrifice, generally.
I thought it would make a nice companion piece to Lisa’s lovely post thanking our priests for their service.
Something I love in Benedict’s preaching is that he’s not afraid to be personal. There’s almost always something... READ MORE
