PRAY!
When the dioceses mail more fund appeals than tracts preaching repentance, we’ve lost the preaching on repentance and reliance in God – the apostolic mission.
From the Mail: How can a Vow be voluntary if Abraham Forced His servant to make one?
Bruno B. wrote in with a question about an entry on the Bellarmine Forum catechism in which a vow is explained as: “1. A vow is a promise voluntarily made to God, to perform some good action. The vow is a promise made to God. We call upon God implicitly, if not explicitly when we…

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart and the Trial of the West by Islam?
In the wake of Mohammedism’s (Islam’s) initial spread over the middle east, an African bishop penned a consecration to the Blessed Mother’s Immaculate heart. The Bishop of Toledo wrote one as well.

To Restore What Has Been Seized Unjustly
If the Christian Religion forbade war altogether, those who sought salutary advice in the Gospel would rather have been counseled to cast aside their arms, and to give up soldiering altogether. On the contrary, they were told: “Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages,” the command…
From Under the Rubble…Gratitude, Government, and Gall
Voluntary Christian charity results in the natural gratitude of both the benefactor and the beneficiary. “Thank you,” says the man robbed and thrown in the ditch; “No, thank YOU,” says the Good Samaritan — “for giving me the opportunity to serve a brother in Christ.” That’s the way it’s been for centuries in Christendom.
