He writes: Something to think about and, I think, worth sharing. I don’t agree with all of his points but it’s definitely thought-provoking, especially as I continue to survey with sadness and a tinge of despair that thing I have beleived in so long and am even paid to promote: the free market economy. The final paragraph gibes pretty well with my sense of where things might be going: I wager that in 10 years’ time, the nation will either... Read more

It’s around 2 am local time, and just received a call from family that my brother-in- law has had a serious car wreck and is being taken by life-flight to the hospital. I ask your prayers for him and if you find the time to post this, the prayers of your readers. I ask the Blessed Virgin to bring him to Our Father in prayer, and... Read more
