"One Degree of Separation" between American Idol & CatholicsComeHome.org!

Written by

Pro-Life Catholic on American Idol, has link to CatholicsComeHome.org!…

“Maddy Curtis of Bluemont, Virginia, the 16-year-old daughter of an award-winning pro-life blogger, impressed American Idol judges on the show this week, who unanimously advanced her to the next round…

Despite her many accomplishments, however, her parish priest told LifeSiteNews that Maddy’s role singing as cantor at Mass every week is what’s most important to her.

‘Even though she’s very accomplished at her age, she said that it makes her more nervous to sing at Mass than everywhere else,’ said Fr. Ronald Escalante, pastor at St. Frances de Sales parish in Purcellville, Virginia.  ‘She said, ‘I’m singing for God’, and it overwhelms her.'” Click here to read the entire article and visit the blog with link to CCH

Understanding human suffering

Written by

What can we do to understand and give comfort in the face of human suffering?

Blessed Mother Teresa reminds us, “You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.” (Read more of Mother Teresa’s words here.)

This article by Dr. Peter Kreeft helps explain God’s answer to human suffering.

May we never forget to pray and help those most in need, who may be suffering materially or spiritually.

Pope Benedict – prayers for Christian unity, January 2010

Written by

Pope Benedict offers two prayer intentions every month, one general, and one for a particular Catholic missionary activity.

The Pope’s missionary activity intention for January 2010, is:

“During this time, we also pray for Christian unity, dear Lord! May every believer in Christ be conscious that unity among all Christians is a condition for more effective proclamation of the Gospel. Together, may we be a witness to your presence, Lord.”

…Did you know that the word ‘Catholic’ means ‘universal’?…

May the CatholicsComeHome.org campaign help to bring all Christians together in unity of faith.

Bored at Mass?

Written by

Sadly, many Catholics haven’t had or taken the opportunity to really learn what’s happening at Mass… By journeying through the parts of the Mass, we hope you will find new excitement in this joyful and meaningful celebration of our Faith every Sunday (or every day)!

Today’s Bored at Mass? feature: The PRE-GAME

In order for us to “make the most” of each Mass, it is important for us to ready our hearts, minds, and bodies prior to walking into church on Sunday.

How to ready our hearts: Take time to reflect before you go to Mass. Think about the desires and intentions of your heart you want to place before Lord that day. Also, prepare your heart to praise Him in all His glory during Mass.

How to ready our minds: Michael Dubruiel, in The How-to Book of the Mass, points out that “Some of us play an intellectual game at Mass of finding fault with the way the Mass is celebrated…But the Mass is not a place for us to sit back like a movie and to find fault; rather, it is a place to encounter Jesus Christ” (page 30).

How to ready our bodies: We should all take the time to examine our thoughts, words, and actions before Mass. Perhaps we’ll find we need go to Confession to get rid of our sins and receive forgiveness before receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.

Lost & Found Tip: The warm-up sets the pace for the game. How we prepare for Mass will help guide our prayer and focus during the Mass. This Sunday, prepare yourself for who you are about to encounter at Mass—Jesus. He’s truly present, so we should want to give Him our best!

Mall ministry reaches believers where they shop…including CatholicsComeHome.org DVDs!

Written by

In the spirit of celebrating Christmas for the entire Church calendar (through THIS Sunday, January 10, 2010, “Baptism of the Lord”), check-out the article below about Fr. Mark Toups of the diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, Louisiana – and the ‘mall ministry’ kiosk they headed up at their local mall to reach out to inactive Catholics and invite them back to Mass…including handing out CatholicsComeHome.org DVDs :

“Locals who have taken to the Southland Mall for an early start on the holiday shopping season over the last week may have noticed something a little less conventional during their spree – a cart containing information about the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.

The program known as “mall ministry” was the brainchild of Bishop Sam Jacobs who said the mall was chosen because that is where the majority of the people are at this time of year.

“I think if Jesus Christ were here today he would minister in the shopping malls,” the bishop said in a release. “That’s where the people are.”…
