The Story of Abraham - Hope for the Rest of Us...
One of the beautiful things about the Bible is that it does not present our heroes as epic figures who never fell. Rather it presents us with real human beings who struggle and eventually "get there." As an example, I was talking the other day with someone who remarked, "Too bad we can't all be...
For All the Saints: Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity...
Anyone who has struggled with anger, as I have, could do worse than read about Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, a French Carmelite remembered on November 8. Can one person experience both fits of rage and a certainty of God's presence in her own heart? Yes, apparently, and thank the Lord. Born in 1880...
It's a Miracle...
This is the kind of story that makes London's Daily Telegraph my favorite paper. It's an article on Jack Sullivan-- the Boston deacon who was cured by the intercession of Cardinal Newman. The article is intelligent, fair, well researched and open minded. See what you think. As for me...

Health Care Passage Unlikely - With or Without Stupak Intact...
There was much jubilation on the floor of the House Saturday night as the roll call vote in favor of the House health care reform bill hit the required 218 Yeas. But as the roll call continued and the Yea column only racked up two more votes, supporters and opponents of the bill should have realized that ultimately, the measure will likely fail.

TIME's Amy Sullivan on Archbishop Burke and Cardinal O'Malley...
Once again, TIME's Amy Sullivan delivers the message of the Catholic Left. You may recall the last time she declared that abortion funding in the health care bill was a "myth." That "myth" is causing a real ruckus at the present moment.

The shadow of the jackboot…
Sorry I have been so quiet. We attended an event honoring a remarkable man this weekend (more on that, and on the injured veteran we met there, later) then my husband seemed to succumb to something slightly dysenteric so I've been looking after him for today. I have only just begun to read news about The Ghastly Mrs. Pelosi's machinations...
Exuberantly in Love with Jesus...
If we don't usually think of Poor Clares as exuberant that's because we haven't met these Poor Clares. 140 strong with a median age of 35. And with 100 young women waiting to enter. At the heart of this stunning transformation of a 400 year old Spanish Poor Clare community which hadn't had a new vocation in 23 years when she entered, is the 43 year old prioress...

Apoplectic abortion pusher: "Why are the [Catholic] Bishops running the country?"
How dare Catholics influence political decisions?! Who do they think they are—American citizens with a right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in the public square? Tonight, with the aide of some 60 Democrats, women's rights were effectively negated by the US Congress as the House passed the Stupak amendment to HR 3200...
