A Glimpse of St. Louis Bertrand

Image
St. Louis Bertrand, O.P. (1526-1581)             His early years – On January 1, 1526, one hundred and seven years after the death of St. Vincent Ferrer, another Dominican saint was born in Valencia – St. Louis Bertrand.   He was actually baptized in the same Church and font in which St. Vincent had been baptized. Louis’s father, John, was related to and had an ardent devotion to Saint Vincent .

Monday Musings - Rosary Reflection - When Parents Pray The Rosary

Image
  "The faults of children are not always imputed to the parents, especially when they have instructed them and given good example. Our Lord, in His wondrous Providence, allows children to break the hearts of devout fathers and mothers. Thus the decisions your children have made don't make you a failure as a parent in God's eyes. You are entitled to feel sorrow, but not necessarily guilt. Do not cease praying for your children; God's grace can touch a hardened heart. Commend your children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

She will attend to their souls." (St. Louise de Marillac)

[What follows is a Lenten Reflection written by Father Darr Schoenhofen that he shared with the Parishes of Saint Malachy in Sherburne and Saint Theresa in New Berlin, New York on April 1, 2020. He has given me permission to share it with my readers. Father speaks the Truth with clarity and a needed sense of urgency. He reminds us why Jesus weeps and then asks: Do We? This reflection is well worth reading, pondering and sharing far and wide. I was unable to reproduce the image of our crucified Lord that Father used. I substituted another.] (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )   For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.   For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world may be saved through him .    — JN 3:16-17 Dear Friends in Christ, Beloved Parishioners, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that w...
