I previously wrote about how rosary prayer is a lot of Navy SEAL training. The rosary can be a difficult prayer that is monotonous, time consuming, and requires a lot of concentration. Not surprisingly, many people either ignore praying the rosary or substitute it with easier and shorter prayers. I want to explore more in […]

It has been a big two weeks for both the pro-life and religious freedom causes. We saw the Supreme Court rule unanimously that the 35-foot buffer zone around abortion clinics in Massachusetts violated the pro-life advocates and sidewalk counselors right to free speech. And this week we saw the Supreme Court, in a narrow 5-4 “Hobby Lobby”

We just remembered the 70th anniversary of the Allied landing on Normandy in WWII. Operation Overlord, or D-Day, was a massive operation that forever changed the face of our world. Thousands of men stormed the beaches and for many of them, the flashes of German gunfire from concrete bunkers was the last thing they would

“Just ring the bell and this will all be over.” That must be a common phrase many potential Navy SEALs either hear or think in their initial phase of training called BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL).

I’m a software engineer. Part of my job is participating in what are commonly called technical postmortems. In postmortems, my team recalls what went right and what went wrong with a recently completed project. The idea is that by learning what we did right and wrong we can correct our bad practices while continuing our
I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death. Imagine that a little 9 year old child walked up and asked you to teach him some basic mathematics. You excitedly run to the bookshelf

All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. Remember when I said in my previous post about Mary’s rosary promises seeming like a spiritual infomercial? Well, I take that back. This promise proves that the rosary is more like an affiliate marketing campaign. In affiliate marketing, someone gets
