This is absurd!

Officials: Obama to reverse abortion policy
This is just absurd! It’s one thing to be pro-choice (which, being pro-life, I am not in favour of); but to impose this upon all as the law of the land is absurd! What about pro-lifers?! If you are pro-choice you should be the one donating from your checkbook to [...]

Love, Infatuation, Lust

Many articles have been written on these matters but it comes down to these fundamental facts:
 
·        Lust is purely physical, superficial, and sexual; it is not so much about the other person as it is about certain physical features of him or her that one is attracted to and which one greatly desires to attain.
·        [...]

The Weekend

Dear Friends:
 
I’m back at work. I woke up at 6:00 a.m. today, although I went to sleep a few past 1:00 a.m. yesterday given that I had much trouble going to sleep for some unknown reason. I did have a dream about the office and my co-workers.
 
I’m glad to be back at the office. I [...]

Signum Crucis
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.
 
Veni Sancte Spiritus
Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur;
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
Oremus: Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. [...]

JESUS

JESUS
 
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.

He had no army, yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, but they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He [...]

St. Jude Thaddaeus

Unless we are born as the children of one of the top five richest families of the world, a head of state, or some similar bureaucrat who is filthy rich and powerful, most of us undergo, often on a daily basis, trials which seem lost and hopeless, situations which appear so extremely difficult that no apparent or imminent [...]

Today I have decided to speak about unicorns and [...]

Interesting Article

Dear Friends:
 
This is an interesting article I came across in a web search. It expresses a lot of views I hold, though never did I express it in this manner. Agree or disagree with it as you will, but there is much truth in this article.

St. Sebastian

 
 

Prayer to St. Sebastian
Patron of Athletes
 
Dear Commander at the Roman Emperor’s court, you chose to be a soldier of Christ and dared to spread faith in the King of Kings—for which you were condemned to die. Your body, however, proved athletically strong and the executing arrows extremely weak. So another means to kill you was [...]
