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

Judas Iscariot betrayed Our Lord Jesus Christ with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15). After Judas committed suicide by hanging himself, the Apostles gathered together to replace him choosing between two Candidates, Joseph called Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias. St. Peter opened the casting of lots with this forward message, "So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and o

Pope St. Pius X once said, "All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easy going weakness of Catholics". Pope Felix III once said, "Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them". Pope Leo XIII once said, "To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth is the part of a man devoi

St. James the Less is noted as "Less" to distinguish him from James, the brother of St. John and the son of Zebedee who is called James the "Greater".
