What do you wish you could do more every day?
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, St. Paul admonishes, “Pray without ceasing.” This has also been translated as “Pray always.”
How difficult it is for so many of us, to spend even a few minutes each day in prayer, let alone pray throughout the day!
As I type these words, we’re more than halfway through Lent 2023, and I know that I haven’t prayed near as much as I ought.
I must do better.
The following blog post comes from a presentation I gave recently for some wonderful women across Europe in a monthly zoom meeting, called “Catholic …

“Yes, Mary knew, and we should love her even more because she did.”
It’s almost that time of year again, when Protestants roll out the statues of saints (nativity scenes) and sing about Mary. Well, actually just one song about Mary. The ever-popular Mary, Did You Know. So let’s just clear things up right now so no one can claim ignorance; Mary, Did You Know is heretical nonsense.
