Recently, a friend asked me a difficult question. I am a coward and often avoid responding directly to challenging inquiries. That's not always a good idea. Listen here and you will see what I mean.

Monsignor Eugene Yennock Has A Message You Must Hear!

Image
(From St. Daniel's Church) I urge you to listen to, and then share, the homily of 95 year old Monsignor Eugene Yennock of Syracuse, New York, a link to which appears at the end of this post. While many lay Catholics, priests and bishops have remained silent during this election cycle, a few courageous souls have stepped forward and taught their family, friends, neighbors and/or flock the Truth - the Truth that binds every living human being.

I was prompted a few weeks back to go through and empty out my desk drawer. It had been far too long since I had de-cluttered it. I had forgotten the hidden treasures it contained. Then I saw them – about 15 of them. Suddenly, I realized how long it had been since I last went to prison.    Odd, isn’t it. The one place I visited where I was always immensely blessed is filled with men and women whom the majority of us would never voluntarily choose to have anything to do with - no matter that our Faith teaches that all of us, including the greatest sinners among us, were created in the image and likeness of God and that each of us, without exception, by and through the unearned and undeser...
