Saint Lawrence of Brindisi

Named after Julius Cesar at his birth, this saint was given the name "Lawrence" when he joined the Franciscans at age 16. Instead of a worldly empire through force of arms, he conquered souls to Jesu through love and preaching truth.

Some Thoughts for Reflection

The Mystery of the Our Father's Ending

Neither seems to be a good idea for Christians (e.g., Deut. 4:2, 12:21; Prov. 30:6; Rev. 22:19). To some Protestants, the Catholic omission seems like a clear example of the Church "subtracting from Scripture" (due to some "tradition of men," perhaps).

Who is right? Does it Matter?

What If the Baby's Going to Die Anyway?

"Our society has learned that people with disabilities are still people, and so we reasonably accommodate them with things like handicapped parking and braille on signposts. But aborting someone because he is disabled is, to put it mildly, not very accommodating."

How to respond when abortion "seems" to be the merciful thing to do.

"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's own, or 'real' life.


The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life - the life God is sending one day by day."
