She is, as Father John Hardon, SJ, explained, “a sign of contradiction because, humanly speaking, it seems contradictory to obtain by yielding; to get by giving.” He continues: Yet that is what Mary teaches us.

By Susan Ciancio On July 31, we celebrate the feast of a man whose life drastically changed after he was hit by a cannonball.

By Judie Brown Lingo: a “language characteristic” Planned Parenthood’s world is full of deception, including the way it views those who disagree with its killing methods. Its staff have a particular way of talking about the human being that we like to think of as their lingo. For example, Planned Parenthood made a request that… Read More »Planned Parenthood Lingo

By Judie Brown Many years ago, American Life League’s spiritual director and dear family friend Father Denis O’Brien, MM, suggested to me that it would be wise to read one paragraph of Thomas à Kempis’ The Imitation of Christ every day.

By Judie Brown The word father embodies two distinct images for me.
