Go to mass tonight if you can. You will be blessed. If you’re sick or you have to work or for some other reason you cannot go, try to take a moment to think on Jesus. You may be so busy or in such a problem that finding time for worship or contemplation of any sort is difficult. On the other hand, you may be flat on your back with nothing but time, dripping slowly by. Here are 5 ways... Read more

Indiana’s Religious Freedom Law and Holy Week

Last updated on: March 31, 2015 at 12:18 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Indiana’s governor is at the center of a firestorm because he signed a religious freedom law. I am aware that any Catholic blogger, especially a Catholic blogger who writes about politics, should be all over this. But I’m not going to do it. Not this week.

My asthma and what for everyone else would be an obnoxious cold have conspired against me. I’m still sick and need to focus on recuperating for the next few days. It’s nothing a round of antibiotics and steroids won’t cure. But I’ve enjoyed this garbage as much as I can stand. I’m going to cooperate with the medications and take care of myself. What that means is that my blogging this week will be short and to the point. Unless... Read more

We have two goals today. First of all, in our own way we want to pressure the GOP leadership in the House to present the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act for a vote. From various sources on Capitol Hill, I have heard that we have already had an impact. There really wasn’t any particular rush felt on this issue, and now there is. The other goal is to reorient this discussion back to the babies, who are literally being drawn... Read more

Last night, while we sat in our storm shelter in Oklahoma City, my husband exchanged texts with his best friend who was a hundred miles away in Sand Springs. His friend was also in a storm shelter. Okies. We know tornadoes. A wave of storms swept through the state yesterday, sending a lot of us into shelters. These weren’t the huge killer tornadoes that come down and stay... Read more
