I’ve been avoiding watching the now-infamous video, because I’ve heard the argument dozens of times and have done my best to defend my Church dozens of times. This article is a great defense of the truth of Christ and His Church.

Prayer in Affliction
Keep me from bitterness. It is so easy To nurse sharp bitter thoughts each dull dark hour! Against self-pity, Man of Sorrows, defend me With Thy deep sweetness and Thy gentle power! And out of all this hurt of pain and heartbreak Help me to harvest a new sympathy For suffering humankind, a wiser pity For those who lift a heavier cross with Thee. — Violet Alleyn Story

Salve Regina! →

Feast of St Aloysius
St Aloysius de Gonzaga, the Patron Saint of young men, and my dear friend of many years. Happy Feast Day!
O blessed Aloysius, adorned with angelic virtues, I thy most unworthy suppliant recommend specially to thee the chastity of my soul and body, praying thee by thy angelic purity to plead for me with Jesus Christ the Immaculate Lamb, and His most Holy Mother, Virgin of virgins, that they...
