By Fr. Joseph, MIC, Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception - Each First Friday and First Saturday of the month, we must make a Communion of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. That’s what Jesus and Mary have asked of us: to repair the sins of the world with prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners and for peace throughout the world... Look at the mess the world is in right now — morally, politically, spiritually, economically, socially, environmentally. Why are we in such a mess? Because humanity has been doing things our way. It’s time we do things our Lord’s way and Our Lady’s way.

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - A holy and learned confessor once advised a penitent to enter each day into a prayerful reading of the Old Testament. “It’s good,” he would say, “to have Iron Age words in your mouth every day.” Especially these days, he might have added, when so few either read or pray at all. We live in the Age of the Afterword... So, heeding his advice, I’ve been looking into Ezekiel who, having lived six centuries before the coming of Christ, certainly qualifies.
