Depths of Our Hearts

From the Depths of Our Hearts: Priesthood, Celibacy, and the Crisis of the Catholic Church. By: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Cardinal Robert Sarah. The Catholic Church faces a major crisis and the turmoil in priestly ministry is at the heart of it. “The priesthood is going through a dark time,” write Pope Emeritus Benedict and Cardinal Robert Sarah.

Five Graces

The Rosary is the Bible on a string! It is the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mary.Growing up, my brother, sisters, and I could not cross the street in the family minivan without our mother pulling out her Rosary beads. It did not matter who we were with, how long the trip took, how much we huffed, puffed, and rolled our eyes – the beads came out and our Mama meant business. I do not recall a day when my Mom did not pray the Rosary with us at least once daily. (Yes, sometimes it was more than once).

Exorcism Prayers

The Saint Benedict Medal is a popular Catholic sacramental for assistance in warding off evil.These Benedictine prayers are so powerful! The Benedictine medal is an amazing sacramental. Eleventh-century Pope Leo IX was the first Pope to reportedly have worn the medal after a miraculous cure from a snake bite. Even though the Church is unsure of its exact origins, various forms of the medal have been worn ever since. The Jubilee medal, created in 1880, is the current medal worn. On the back of the medal, there are very powerful exorcism prayers.

Abortion Survivors

Many babies survive an abortion, and some go on to live extraordinary lives because God is the Author of Life.Faces of Choice, a pro-life organization giving abortion survivors a voice, worked with FOX over the past year to secure an ad during this year’s Super Bowl.  The ad does not mention abortion, but features 14 abortion survivors. Faces of Choice founder Lyric Gillett explained that she began working with FOX’s legal team in July 2019, but they told her “spaces sold out early.”

Not a Dead Object

A monstrance is the special object used to hold and display Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist for the purpose of prayer and adoration by Catholics.I’ll never forget the day.  It was around 2006 - 2007. It had been only a matter of time since I stumbled into making a general confession at the Newman Center on the University of Missouri’s campus because of Our Lady’s intercession. Still grasping and feeling my way through much bewilderment due to such a dramatic turn of events in my life, God managed to direct me to the Church that day. To be honest with you, I can’t recall why I went there or how I found out about it. I assume it was to receive the sacrament of confession again.

Conversion Story

Jesus Christ is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament.This is a really amazing story! One Reddit (social news medium) user recently shared his story about inviting a satanist to Mass. As a result, the satanist converted to Catholicism. What a miracle! The user explained that he evangelized to the satanist after meeting him in class. The satanist then asked him about the Catechism, so the Reddit user began reading it to him. The satanist then became “quite serious about it” and asked “deep questions” about “the truth of Mother Church.”

Jesus vs. Superman

Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen explains the eternal difference between Jesus Christ and Superman.Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen had so much wisdom! “What does Superman got to do with Christmas?” Ven. Sheen asks in this 1960’s taping of Life is Worth Living. In this episode (see video link at the end of this article), Fulton Sheen powerfully explains “the breakthrough of Christmas,” and how Jesus’ entry into the world as a child compares to that of DC Comics’ Superman.

Veil Removed

This image is from the short film about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, The Veil Removed.The powerful short film, The Veil Removed, perfectly captures the most extraordinary event in all of history: Christ’s sacrifice of Calvary. An endless, continual sacrifice that transcends time and space itself, blending the supernatural world with the natural world. When we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Christ’s Sacrifice of the Cross is renewed, and we become present to that very same timeless sacrifice which occurred 2,000 years ago.
