I used to listened to a local Christian radio station near Ft. Campbell KY from time to time to check out what they would teach. On one occasion, the topic of faith and good works was the focus. I called up the radio station to see if I could enter the conversation. Unfortunately, it was only a tape recording and so there was no discussion that was live. Since it was a tape played in the studio, the only person available was the clerk answering the phone. To me that was enou

August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There are some who ask questions regarding this most important dogma. Often times people might not understand biblical foundations if they do not see an expressed word specific to a teaching. When reading the bible, it is easy to recognize that without the historic application that has been handed down from the apostolic age, people will miss the context if the text is not explicit. The bible itself is n

Psalms 20:5, "May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!" Psalms 60.4, "Thou hast set up a banner for those who fear thee, to rally to it from the bow." The United States celebration of Flag Day (June 14) originally began in 1777, 240 years ago. June 14 is the birthday of 'Old Glory' which has had 26 design changes since the beginning. In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson made June 14 official

My day first began watching the Fox News Channel as they were getting ready for a speech coming from President Donald Trump at Arlington Cemetery and this was one great speech. I went out to our front yard and took a picture of statues I have by our flag posted there. I had previously talked with my wife who told me of one of her uncles who had been wounded in battle during WW II as did one of my uncles (Joe) who was bayoneted by a Japanese running upon him during a hand to

Eucharistic Miracle of Glotowo, Poland 1290 Please remember that our faith is not founded on Eucharistic miracles, but on the proclamation of the Lord Jesus, received with faith through the action of the Holy Spirit. We believe because we have believed in the preaching (see Gal. 3:5; also in Rom 10:17): “Faith depends on hearing and hearing by the word of Christ; and, in turn, preaching depends on the word of Christ.” “Believing is an act of the intellect, which under the in

After nearly four years of college and then being in the work force, I caught one of those Army commercials calling us to be "All you can be in the Army". I made a dramatic career change that would change my life forever. I am so thankful that I was strong in my Catholic Faith before I signed up because I would be tested many times through out my Military life. So much so that I do not know how anyone can go though this without have faith! The foundation of the United Sta

It was Early February 2009, I had just deployed to Iraq leaving my Wife, Gigi, who had received a healing after suffering 6 months due to terrible lower abdomen pain. Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese children–Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia dos Santos–received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary asked the children to pray the rosary for world peace, for the end of World War I, for
