Catholics Can Make a Difference

...if they have well-formed consciences!

Catholics and Obama

George Weigel writes in Newsweek a rebuttal to the Catholic professors who have publicly endorsed Obama for president.

Among other excellent points, Weigel states:

Is John McCain...a perfect pro-life candidate? Of course not. But Barack Obama is a perfect pro-life nightmare.

What You Won't Read in the Average Newspaper

I was perusing Elizabeth Foss's blog, In the Heart of My Home, and came across two links here, and here, to information that needs wider dissemination. The first deals with the predicted effects of Obama's economic proposals, and the second is a pro-life speech given by Governor Palin in Johnstown, PA.

Our Lady of the Rosary

Today's her feast day! And today's Mass readings included the story of Mary and Martha, the one in which Martha is complaining to the Lord about her sister's lack of help, and Jesus tells her that Mary has chosen the better part. The story that gave me the title for this blog!

So what does that tell me, that on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary the Church in her wisdom chooses to remind us that we mustn't worry and get overly concerned with tasks such that we miss listening to Jesus? It tells me that praying the Rosary is a wonderful way to become recollected and to prepare my soul to hear the Son of God made Man. It tells me that through the Rosary I will find the balance between the Martha and Mary within me. It tells me that my heavenly Mother wants to come to my aid! I feel so blessed to have Mother Church and Mother Mary!
