“Do everything in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14
Can you believe Election Day is less than a week away? We’ve faithfully prayed with each other throughout this season and have done all we can to get ourselves and our loved ones formed in the mind and heart of the Church. Now we must move forward and perform our civic duty, and vote with a properly formed conscience. Read the rest…

St. Teresa of Avila shows us it is never too late to get serious about our prayer life.

60 million.
Since 1972, the United States has lost over 60 million citizens through legalized abortion. It’s a huge number, almost unfathomable when you really think about it.

Great inventors, scientists, leaders, and most importantly saints who could have transformed the world through their lives.
