Sunday Meditation: How Can We Be Happy in Heaven if Our Loved Ones Aren't There?


Funerals turn the minds of the faithful to the four last things: death, judgment, heaven or hell. That's not too surprising when you think about it. Even those who have little or no relationship with God must think about "What's next!" when they attend a funeral. "Is this really all there is?... Where is my loved one, friend, acquaintance, colleague now?...What will happen to me after I die?"

On the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe Reflect on her Intervention for our Country and our World


Fr. Paul Weinberger sent me the information below about Our Lady and world events. She so often is right in the midst of our "mess" interceding for us and giving us protection. I've added my comments in red.

Some fascinating dates AND the Blessed Virgin Mary in the years 1941 & 1945 & 1531

December 7, 1941 here in the U.S.A. and in the Western Hemisphere


1). The military naval base of the USA at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was destroyed during a sneak attack by air bombers from the Empire of Japan. [My dad, an ensign, was on the light cruiser, U.S.S. Detroit. Fresh out of the Naval Academy, he was the ranking officer on board that Sunday morning. Many of his classmates died at Pearl Harbor. Had my dad been on the Arizona I probably wouldn't be here today. Thank you, Blessed Mother, for protecting both my parents and my oldest sibling, Ray, who was an infant in the womb. My mom was later evacuated with the other Americans and Daddy's ship was one of the escorts back to San Diego where mom spent the rest of the war.]
