After Being Declared Dead, Baby Found to Be Alive

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 2:26 pm By Tony Rossi

From CNN: (CNN) — She was a tiny thing: 1 pound 12 ounces, cold as a frozen bottle and left for dead. But she would survive. One-week-old Luz Milagros Veron is Argentina’s miracle baby. Pronounced dead after her premature birth, the baby withstood more than 10 hours in a morgue refrigerator before being found alive. “Today is the eighth day of my daughter’s resurrection,” the girl’s father, Fabian Veron, told CNN Wednesday. Doctors at the Perrando Hospital in northeast Argentina... Read more

Fear of Public Speaking?

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 9:08 am By Tony Rossi

One of the things we do at The Christophers is run Leadership Courses in New York City (the next one starts April 18th) and a few other states (click here for more information). The courses were created many years ago by our founder, Father James Keller, who believed that people with Judeo-Christian values and ideals would often let the opportunity to speak up and become leaders pass them by because they were uncomfortable speaking in public. In light of the... Read more

Ben Linus on St. Thomas’s Faith and Doubt

Last updated on: January 1, 2015 at 11:17 am By Tony Rossi

Since this Sunday’s Gospel reading tells the story of St. Thomas doubting the resurrection of Jesus until he can personally see Him and place his hands in Jesus’s wounds, I’m posting a great scene from the TV series “Lost” which dealt with issues of faith and doubt better than any other show (in my humble opinion). The scene takes place in a church, and is motivated by Caravaggio’s painting, “The Incredulity of St. Thomas” which depicts Thomas putting his finger... Read more

A Chance Encounter?

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 6:55 pm By Tony Rossi

The Christophers’ Jerry Costello shares the story of one of this year’s Christopher Award-winning books: It was just a chance encounter, an unlikely meeting on a city street between strangers that happened a long time ago. But today the two people who met that way will tell you that it was simply meant to be. And who’s to say they’re wrong? Anyway, here’s how it happened: One day back in 1986, a 35-year-old newspaper executive named Laura Schroff was walking... Read more

Thoughts on Prayer

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 6:56 pm By Tony Rossi

Some thoughts on prayer from a Christopher News Note about Lent: What is the Role of Prayer in Lent and in our Lives? Sacrifice and the effort to serve God through His people can lead you to Lent’s special joy. As St. Augustine said: “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song.” Prayer is an important part of our Lenten obligations. If you find it difficult to pray, you might simply imagine God speaking to you. His words... Read more

The Humanity of “War Horse”

Last updated on: January 1, 2015 at 11:18 am By Tony Rossi

Though it might seem counterintuitive because of the title, the Christopher Award-winning film “War Horse” is actually about humanity. “War Horse” begins in rural England where a teen named Albert befriends, tames, and trains a horse he names Joey after his father buys him in an auction. When the horse is eventually sold to a member of the British military to take part in World War I, Albert is devastated. He promises he will find Joey and reunite with him... Read more

Bonnie is a real renaissance woman in show business. She’s an actress, writer, director, producer, comedian, talk show host, and voiceover artist. If I had to use only... Read more
