Are You Praying the Daily Rosary Yet? It Builds Relationships!

I received an email yesterday that was a real encouragement. Sometimes I wonder whether blogging accomplishes anything, but this showed me I can be a "pencil" for the Lord sharing the authentic Catholic faith including devotion to the holy rosary and that the sharing makes a difference. Thanks be to God for this couple and the wife who was so sweet as to send me this message. It made my day! May God reward them for their kindness! 

Dear Mary Ann,

Sunday Meditation: The World Demands, "Crucify the Christians; Give Us Barrabbas!"

Professor Robert George gave a sobering talk at the 10th National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, one that should be a wake-up call to every serious Catholic (and Christian for that matter). He says we are living Good Friday and then asks a series of questions. Will we be like Mary and John at the foot of the cross or will we flee in terror? Will we be silent and seek to "fit in" like Peter when he denied Christ? Will we bear faithful witness or will we hide in fear and be silent? What account will we give of ourselves on judgment day? Read George's complete talk. In fact, meditate on it. Bolster your courage with the sacraments and be prepared to suffer. Good Friday is upon us, but be assured, Easter is coming. God never abandons His people.

Here's a sample: 

The days of socially acceptable Christianity are over. The days of comfortable Catholicism are past. It is no longer easy to be a faithful Christian, a good Catholic, an authentic witness to the truths of the Gospel. A price is demanded and must be paid. There are costs of discipleship—
