Fr. Stanley Jaki was a friend. He stayed at our home a number of times. When viewing his picture our younger children quickly responded, “Don’t let him come here; he looks mean!” He was the priestly version of Einstein — brain, appearance, white hair askew and all. But we invited him to our home anyway [...]

Last week I had the priveledge of flying down to Birmingham Alabama to speak to a hall full of on-fire Catholic men. They are starting a Catholic Radio Station and this lunch was to support the radio effort. I was invited to share my conversion story and it was a warm audience of laughter and tears. [...]

Still no word on what is actually ailing Fr. Gerald — a medical conundrum! But, according to the latest speculation, it may not be cancer. We wait with prayer and bated breath. We prayed for him at every Mass in Rome and in all the sacred places. For my original post about Fr. Gerald, click here. For [...]

UPDATE 10/9/2007 The first biopsy of the mass in his lung was, unfortunately, inconclusive. He is undergoing another biopsy this morning. He is then scheduled to meet with Dr. Orringer, an internationally acclaimed thoracic surgeon, at U of M this Friday, Oct. 12th, at 8:00 a.m. (It is an appointment and not a surgery date.) [...]

We spent the evening with angels! Well, not really angels in the strict biblical sense, but certainly in the more popular sense. Just listen to them sing and laugh and pray; watch them glide across the floor, smile with joy, and demonstrate the love of Christ and tell me they don't sound and appear as angels. [...]

Meet St. Irenaeus — well, not really. This is Fr. Bernie Green from Tempe Arizona. But, he is the voice of St. Irenaeus in our new documentary Apostolic Fathers which we are finishing up this week. (Click on image of Fr. Bernie and Steve for a larger picture.) In June we came to Phoenix to [...]

One of our sponsors there is also a dear friend named Lafayette Lim, or Yeti for short. His family is beautiful — not only his wife and children, [...]

Not on your life. Meet the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. These sisters and their convent are only 10 minutes from my house and we visit periodically. We show our DVDs there as world premiers (see picture here). I even taught Scripture here for a year. We joke around that these wonderful women [...]

He is every bit as delightful, funny and wise in person as he is on TV or in front of an audience. He has no big ego and is wonderfully humble and easy to talk with. Don't tell him I said so because he does not appreciate too many compliments. But I did tell him [...]

Many of you know my good friend and fellow apologist David Armstrong. He is well known by his books and his excellent website. His dad has cancer and Dave has written a letter to explain the situation and to ask for prayer. You can read the letter here. While praying for Dave Armstrong, remember another [...]

Every once in a while I meet a group of marvelous Catholics who have made it a priority in their lives to learn more aboiut and to fall in love with Jesus and His Church. This is the calling of ALL Catholics and many us follow that call, but too often Catholics grow lethargic or take their [...]

From Detroit riots to Pentecostal preacher to Catholic deacon — the whole story is now told not only from Alex Jones' perspective but also eight exciting chapters telling Donna's story of life as a “preacher's wife” and her own journey into the Catholic Church. About three years ago I negotiated the contract between Ignatius Press and [...]
