Dear Mom and Dad: While reading today on a plane 35,000 feet over Texas I was touched deeply by a passage from Scripture. This is not in your Protestant Bible but it is in our Catholic Bible. I thought you’d like it. Sirach 3:12-15 “My son, take care of your father when he is old; [...]

We have friends (sister of an in-law) and her husband who are graduates of Franciscan University in Steubenville. Nine months ago they received happy news that they were “with child” — as it is sometimes stated in Scripture. A few months later an ultrasound showed the baby had congenital abnormalities — she did not have [...]

Don’t watch this if you don’t like babies. If you came here to learn more about the Catholic Faith you can skip this 20-second video. But for me, this video shows the result of the Catholic Faith — love and family and joy and generations — sharing the beauty of life with the new ones [...]
