Regularly availing oneself of the sacrament of Reconciliation, attending daily Mass, and receiving Holy Communion all encourage fidelity.
Don’t be afraid or ashamed to go to confession, pope says
“Every person has within him or her a hunger for life, for meaning and for eternity.” – Pope Francis
“What is It?” – Homily by Fr. Cristino
What is the Bread of Eternal Life, and where can we find it? From the article: “If the challenges in life have been overwhelming us, even to the point of where we come to Mass and pray but are beginning to wonder why since nothing ever seems to get any easier, perhaps the solution to our struggle is to be more aware of the way in which He is trying to feed us.”

How Organizations Can Address the Challenges of Modern Digital Collaboration
Many organizations, regardless of size, are not using technology well to reap the benefits of collaboration at scale.
It’s now clear to me that we must take bold new steps if we are to truly improve the state of workforce collaboration in most organizations. As the majority of us are doing it today, digital collaboration is largely stuck in the doldrums.
The known issues are numerous: The tools themselves are either too complex, specialized, or advanced, or worse, not a good fit for our organizations but are appealing due to unrelated reasons like vendor stability or wide adoption elsewhere. Often, our workforces are too entrenched in older ways of working (or, just as likely, woefully untrained in the new.)
Collaboration itself is now appearing everywhere, as a digital capability embedded in many of our technology products. This fundamentally human group activity — which is absolutely vital to produce results in today’s knowledge-driven organizations — has either been added as a secondary ‘feature’ in many of our existing…

“You Should Have Had an Abortion” vs. Every Life Matters
“We first look out for the weak, the poor, the vulnerable, the sick, the disabled—or we reject the way of Christ.”
“You should have had an abortion.” These are the words KJ Harmon’s mom, Tasha, heard when an ultrasound technician informed her that her not-yet-born son’s kidney was full of cysts. This is the ultimate expression of the throwaway culture, where the imperfect are supposed to be discarded as worthless. It is part of a long history of dehumanization, bigotry toward those with disabilities, and eugenics-based reasoning by those who often consider themselves enlightened humanitarians.

Mayors discuss ways to promote equality, environmental protection in their cities
“All of the mayors from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa who spoke July 22 mentioned the growing number of poor people in their cities and the increasing gap between their wealthiest and poorest residents, even in cities like Boston or Vancouver with thriving economies and low unemployment rates.”
Matthew Block: It’s a bad time to be religious in Canada
Is “freedom of religion” now to be mandatory “freedom from religion”?
At Bolivian prison, pope calls himself man ‘saved from his many sins’
The pope ended his speech by asking the inmates to pray for him, “because I, too, have my mistakes, and I too must do penance.”
FILIPINOS FOR LIFE OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE SCOTUS’ DECISION ON SAME SEX “MARRIAGE”
Because it seems common sense is a rarity nowadays, statements like these are needed.
We, the members of Filipinos for Life, express our dismay at the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to legalize same-sex “marriage”. We believe that SCOTUS acted outside the bounds of its authority in redefining the meaning of an institution which has been understood, from the beginning of human civilization, as the union between a man and a woman. This lamentable decision, which has no historical, traditional, cultural, or natural foundations, is based on an irrational sentimentality and a misplaced sense of compassion that fails to consider the future of the biological family, whose nature stems from the complementarity between man and woman. This radical departure from natural law introduces other forms of relationships, could deprive children of their right to their biological mother and father, and will ultimately be detrimental to the stability of economy and society. Moreover, it tramples on the right of…
