Pray with Pope Francis. Pray His Prayer Intention for January.

Last updated on: January 19, 2017 at 8:34 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for January will probably challenge at least a few of American Catholics. The Holy Father is asking us to pray for dialogue with those who differ from them. I have a feeling that will challenge more than one American Catholic. We have become so angry and divided that many Catholics will be unwilling to even ask for peace with our neighbors. In fact, I won’t be surprised if a few of them become angry with the Pope for suggesting... Read more

Now for a little palate cleanser. I wrote this before either of my latest posts about President Elect Trump. But, publishing being what it is, it showed up after they came out. Whatever the order of their publication, I think the summation of all these posts is that I’m thoroughly disenchanted with both political parties. I’ve talked about converting the Democratic Party before, and what I’ve said seems to fall on deaf ears. Most pro life people just don’t seem to... Read more

JFK

This is worth a look. It’s President Kennedy’s first press conference. We were deep in the cold war when this press conference occurred. Now, we’re about to inaugurate a president whose electoral efforts benefitted greatly from Russian hacking. President John Kennedy was a war hero who won the Silver Cross. As for the two press conferences, President Kennedy talked about actual issues and real actions. He was courteous and refrained from bullying and name-calling, even of his political opponents. His...

Repent, Believe in the Gospel and Walk with Christ in 2017

Last updated on: January 9, 2017 at 3:17 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

2016 was an annus horribilis. It was also a turning point, for me personally, for Christianity in America, and for America herself. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a better year, a year in which we take advantage of the second chance it offers us to renew our faith and our faithfulness, to go back to Jesus and away from following the little g gods of this world. If we turn back to Him, then no matter what happens in 2017, it... Read more

I sew on the kitchen table. Let me repeat that: I sew on the kitchen table. I kneel down to pull my sewing machine off the bottom shelf in the shelves where I store my pots and pans, and I drag my serger in from the spare bedroom where we keep the exercise equipment, and I pull out the Stanley tool box in which I keep my notions, and I get the little lazy Susan dealio where I put the...

I spent several hours yesterday wrapping presents. And I still have a couple of really tough-to-wrap presents to go. That, and I need to buy one more gift for one of my sons since the mail isn’t going to get what I already bought here in time. My husband went to Advent confession this week. I confessed a while back. My daughters-in-law are pitching in to help with the Christmas cooking, as is the best friend of one of my... Read more
