My godson married that 'pretty gal'!!!

Three years ago at Christmas Eve, David brought his beautiful lady and I gave her a gift from the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. I told him later that our 'Sister Terry' really liked that young lady, and that he should make sure that he kept her close.

Well, I know how happy my 'Little Sister Terry' was on Sat June 18th:



My beautiful new niece didn't notice at the time (she was a bit preoccupied, if I recall), but had she and her new husband glanced to their left as they knelt before the altar, here is who they would have seen watching with a smile as they took their vows:

In my experience, I recall this Trinity Sunday, the Holy Sprite is like that. I pray that His fire and the communion of Our Lord that this new couple shared as they began their wedded life may always light their path!

Our Faddah

I couldn't say it better myself...

The Nativity Story (told in the digital age)

This is one of the most imaginative Christmas videos that I've seen in a long time... ENJOY!

SIMPLY CATHOLIC

All I can say to that....

From Mark Rubio's speech:
" And yet there have always have been those who haven't seen it this way. There have always been those that don't recognize this. They think that we need a guardian class in American government to protect us from ourselves. They think that the free-enterprise system is unfair, that a few people make a lot of money, and the rest of us get left behind. They believe that the only way business can make its money is by exploiting its workers and its customers. And they think that America's enemies exist because of something America did to earn their enmity."
