My wife and I spend a lot of time teaching our boys about respect; respecting adults as well as respecting each other. That usually means lessons about listening, responding, and following directions. When we don’t follow directions and do what is expected of us, we aren’t respecting others.

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

The power of the rosary never ceases to amaze me. In my daily travels around the internet, I came across this post about the cardiovascular benefits of rosary meditation. Any long time follower of RosaryMeds knows that I’ve touted the spiritual benefits of rosary prayer. Increasing one’s physical health should be a nice little extra

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. This is an unfortunate event but hopefully some good can come out of it if it awakens the conscience and awareness

The Gospel for February 20, 2011 is Matthew 5:38-48 which follows on the heals of the previous Sunday’s Gospel. Jesus continues expanding the Mosaic law by challenging people to live to a higher standard. He says we need to “turn the other cheek” when people hurt us and love our enemies. Jesus exemplifies this high
