The first and last lesson of religion is, The things that are seen are temporal; the things that are not seen are eternal.

Everything that’s built by human beings can be destroyed. That’s why something like the Great Pyramids of Egypt are so awesome: not simply because they are so colossal, but because they have—to an amazing extent—survived the ravages of time.... (www.catholic365.com)

Fatima: Communism and Relativism as Fulfillments of Assyria and Babylon

It is now some 99 years ago that the prophecy of Russia's horrifically persecutive atheism was sealed with the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection, the incomprehensible spinning and hurling of the sun toward earth at Fatima, witnessed by some 70,000 persons or more, and that was reported ...

Perfectly Christmas

When my kids were growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I was into Christmas big time! Every square inch of my living room was filled with Christmas. I was a perfectionist--the lights had to be strung just so, the shepherds in the Nativity scene had to perfectly counterbalance the three wise men.... (www.catholic365.com)

Over the past few years I have stepped up my journey. I have been thankfully afforded opportunities to study and learn more deeply the Faith that I was born into.
