PRAYERS PLEASE: Our cousin is in hospice, dying from stage 4 breast cancer. And Miss Donna, an elder pro-life sidewalk counselor is in the hospital following an assault by a woman leaving the abortion facility in Louisville. The woman smashed Miss Donna to the ground, cracking her skull and fracturing a hip.

NOTRE DAME: I am very sad — This is not just a Catholic Church that housed valuable relics. It has also been a national treasure of France, one of the finest examples of architecture ever erected, and a testament to the greatness of Western civilization. I am in tears. Continue reading →

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday

For centuries, Christians have celebrated Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem by waving branches of either palm or another local tree.

In the U.S. alone, nearly 18,000 Catholic parishes distribute fresh palm branches to the faithful and that doesn’t include all of the Protestant churches that observe the tradition.

The final destination of the palms is to be burned for the ashes used during the following year’s Ash Wednesday services. But where do they come from in the first place?
