Today’s gospel reading is the story of the finding of Jesus in the temple which is also the Fifth Joyful Mystery of the rosary. We pray for family unity and peace. Like Mary and Joseph, who had lost Jesus and hence had an incomplete family, many families today are also missing Jesus, our Lord, in […]

On December 11, 2008 I started RosaryMeds with my first article. And now here we are, four years and 177 articles later. Let’s take a look at some notable statistics from 2012. I’m not going to win any awards for web traffic, but thanks to all 2,186 of you who visited RosaryMeds this year and viewed

It’s that time of year again where we crawl deep into our garages and take out all the Christmas lights and decorations. I’m always excited each year to see if the outdoor decorations I bought the year before at a discount (since I buy them after December 25th) will actually work. This year, a lit

I have to share a sad story about a friend of mine who the parish pastor removed from teaching a Sacrament of Confirmation class for “being too passionate about her faith” around “impressionable” students.

I have a feeling this year’s presidential election is going to get much uglier than in years past. Politics has always been a dirty business, but lately everyone seems to act so much more “unhinged.” People are expressing the slightest disagreements with such high levels of vitriol and anger. Looking at some peoples’ reactions, supporting

The articles regarding President Obama’s contraception mandate keep piling up. Everyone is weighing in, whether it be Catholic bishops or secular sources evaluating the Constitutional consequences of this mandate. President Obama stirred up a hornets’ nest with this decision as it has now brought to the forefront questions of religious freedom, healthcare, and conscience in

Last week Obama declared that all health care providers must cover contraception regardless of their moral objections. That’s it, no discussion, no conscience clauses, nothing except a token stay of execution. Laws that reflect and respect morality are on life support and the government is looking to euthanize them. I wish I could say that

I listened to Ave Maria radio on my drive home from work the other day and had a chance to listen to a replay of a talk given by Al Kresta, host of “Kresta in the Afternoon.” His talk is titled “The History of Dissent in the Catholic Church” and he takes a very high
