Plenary Indulgence for Year of Priests
All truly penitent Christian faithful who, in church or oratory, devotedly attend Holy Mass and offer prayers to Jesus Christ, supreme and eternal Priest, for the priests of the Church, or perform any good work to sanctify and mould them to His Heart, are granted Plenary Indulgence, on the condition that they have expiated their…
Read MoreApostolate for Priests – Fr. Hardon
“Over the centuries, the Church has exhorted the faithful to do everything they can for the priests who trace their priestly ancestry to Christ’s ordination of the apostles at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday night. Catholics are to pray for priests. They are to make sacrifices for priests. They should have Masses said for…

A couple of days ago, upon returning from a friend’s house, I found that Elizabeth and I had sunburns. I asked one of the children to get me the aloe from my bathroom, but he could not find it. I looked for it and could not find it. Thinking that it must have been finished…

Read MoreYesterday’s Quote of the Day
The Most Important Person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral – a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body…The angels have not been blessed with such a grace.…
Read MoreThe Conference was Great Today!
Okay, either I am a pessimist or Saint Joseph answered my prayers. I think that it was the latter. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the speakers. I missed parts of some talks, but I heard all of Fr. Saguto’s presentation (Elizabeth slept in my arms). It was excellent. The children had a great time playing…
