We must pray unceasingly for those who suffer from the unmerciful culture of death, laid bare in recent days and weeks with the Planned Parenthood videos we’ve seen and read about. In New York Friday (July 31) at 3 P.M. there will be a special holy hour for mercy, healing, and reparation. Please join us in prayer in person or wherever you are. Details here. Read more

It’s from Saint Peter Chrysologus, whose feast day is today. It is searingly timely, given many things in... Read more
