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.

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.

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

This past Thursday was Ascension Thursday, which will be celebrated at Divine Mercy here in Gardner Kansas on Sunday, so I will write about it today on Thursday. About three years previously, Jesus began his public Ministry with being baptized by St. John the Baptist. “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the pr

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

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
