To Pray For Our Christian Brethren Who Are Under Attack In Iraq UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

Innocent people are being terrorized. Families that happen to also be the minorities... Read more

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

I came upon these lines while researching St. Ephrem the Syrian, the Deacon, and Doctor of the Church, whose feast day is today.

Remembering, With Gratitude, The D-Day Sacrifices Of The Fallen

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:38 pm By Frank Weathers

Pope Francis remembers, and is grateful. Francis praised “the numerous soldiers who left their country to land on the beaches of Normandy to fight against Nazi barbarism and free occupied France”. The Vatican said Francis “also does not forget the German soldiers dragged into this drama, like all victims of war”. Though written long before the invasion of Normandy, G.K. Chesterton’s thoughts from his book, Orthodoxy (1908), captures the paradox faced by the soldier, and why gratitude for their courageous... Read more
