Saint John Paul II: Prophet, Priest, Exorcist

The conference theme was Healing and the Mystery of Suffering. I was there to give my testimony of suffering and healing in the family but the greatest witness we heard was Weigel on the life of Karol Wojtyla.

Home Buyer’s Checklist
The Home Buyer Checklist identifies some of the important factors to consider when choosing a home. In addition to an affordable sales price, you will also want to be sure that the neighborhood and house meet the needs of your family.
Take this checklist along when you go shopping for your house. It will help you evaluate the neighbourhoods and assess the availability and condition of various features of up to three homes in a side-by-side comparison. Check out these Dallas corporate apartments.
How much is your home worth?

A Foretaste of Heaven

-Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange
2019 March for Life Theme Announced
by Jeanne Mancini
Each year the March for Life board and staff choose a theme that will best contribute to building a culture of life; and as they do so, they take into account cultural norms and current events to help make their message resonate with Americans. This year, March for Life leadership wanted to draw attention to the fact that science and technology continue to reveal the humanity and life of an unborn person even in its very earliest stages. That’s why the 2019 March for Life theme is “Unique From Day One: Pro-life Is Pro-Science.”
