I wrote this for the National Catholic Register at the beginning of Lent, but I think it’s pertinent for this Holy Week. Think on Jesus this week, my friends. Remember what He did for you. What Was Your Best Lent Ever? The Catholic Church is the spiritual home where we can lay our burdens down and rest in His grace. Rebecca Hamilton What was your “best” Lent ever? The most recent issue of the (Archdiocese of Oklahoma City) Sooner Catholic... Read more
I wrote this for the National Catholic Register near the beginning to Lent. We do not have to suffer and grieve our sins all our days. We can lay them down at the foot of the Cross where all things are made new. You Are Not the Worst Thing That You Have Done Do not wallow in your sins, and do not attempt to hold your enemies in their sins. How can you accept God’s forgiveness and then refuse to forgive?...

I do not want there to be any confusion about where I stand, going forward. I gather that this recent bombing of Syria, which was a unilateral act by the President without Congress either being consulted or having anything at all to say about it, is a very popular...

Eleven years ago next November, I was sitting in the cathedral at Fatima. I was not praying. I was simply floating in the atmosphere of blessedness that pervades the place. Without introduction, God opened up a sort of vision. I learned that I was going to be doing something very different in the future, that I had specific books that He wanted me to write. That wasn’t all of it. But it’s the part that applies to what I’m telling you... Read more
