I have long been an advocate of resume over ''eye test'' so don't shoot the messenger. I am not saying what I think the committee should do, in certain situations, only what they likely will do. First, the Big 10 is likely to put 2 teams in the top 4. Unless the Big 10 championship is an absolute beatdown, the winner will be #1 and the loser will be #2 or #3. The SEC champ, as always, will be overrated, especially if it is Alabama. If 1 loss Georgia wins, they will slide u

Today is the feast of Saint Andrew and the start of Advent. One of my favorite novenas. For some special intention, say this prayer 15 times today and everyday up to, and including, Christmas Eve. "Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, [here mention your request] through the

Farragut West is a station on the Washington DC area metro line. It serves the Silver, Blue and Orange lines. As fate would have it, I was traveling the Orange line on Wednesday at the time of the shooting and if I wasn't at Farragut West, I was close. I get out at Metro Center, 2 stops later. I posted an article just yesterday pointing out the difficulty of thankfulness to God when things go badly. There isn't much worse than losing a 20-year-old family member on Thanks

195 years ago today, the Mother of Jesus appeared to Saint Catherine Laboure in Paris, France. She died 46 years later on December 31st and her body remains incorrupt in the chapel in Rue De Bac where the miraculous event occurred. I visited it myself. In the visions, Our Blessed Lady asked Catherine to have a special medal struck. In the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC, there is a special chapel dedicated to this event and devotion. This medal has had s

Few American holidays are more deeply rooted in protestant and secular tradition than Thanksgiving Day. Color, food, football and the unofficial kickoff of the holiday season. On the surface, the idea of giving thanks to God is an undeniable objective good. That's the rub, though, isn't it? It is easy to be thankful when the kids are playing in the leaves, the Christmas lights are up, the TV is blaring the Macy's parade, and everyone is laughing and celebrating around a table

If I were challenged to describe every liturgical season with a single word, Repentance would be the word I'd use for Lent. A solemn inventory and turning away from the bad choices. For Ordinary time, I would use Perseverance . The need to keep fresh and renewed and committed through the long haul. For Triduum , the word Sorrow . Sorrow for what Our Lord suffered and all that I contributed to it. For Easter , I would choose the word Glorious . Christ's Glorious conquest of d

Source: NY Post ROMANS 2: 4  Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5  But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 6  For he will repay according to each one’s deeds: Bethany MaGee was minding her own business on a subway train in Chicago, when a monster with 72 prior

Just believe has long been one of my favorite songs by LMN and it appears I am in good company. According to N1M, the song has made a remarkable jump to the #2 position, jumping an incredible 298 positions. It is so important to support Christian artists like Lisa. Please do so .

Music by Joe Vuong Vocals by Christine Vuong Lyrics and engineering by John Benko WOUNDED SOLDIERS Wounded Soldiers (The War of Love) Verse 1: We march through the ashes, hearts torn in two, Bandaged and bleeding, but we’re pushing through. The scars tell a story, deep in our skin, Only the broken know where love begins.    Pre-Chorus:   The untouched fall fast, they don’t understand, The battlefield’s ours, it’s a trembling land. With every lost fight, we learn to stand, The

But is He the King of your universe? Source: V-Catholic.com It is pretty hard to deny that things are going very badly in the world in 2025. They have been going that way for some time. 100 years ago- in 1925- Pope Pius XI wanted to do something to address it. Vatican News: ...In 1925, Pope Pius XI proclaimed that the best way to defeat injustice was by acknowledging the kingship of Christ. “For people are instructed in the truths of faith, and brought to appreciate the inne
