Saint of the Day for July 22: St. Mary Magdalene

Franciscan Media - Except for the mother of Jesus, few women are more honored in the Bible than Mary Magdalene.

HE SAID IT! Donald Trump: “Every Single Moment We Have on Earth Is a Gift From God”, by Steven Ertelt

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - Donald Trump gave a humble and thoughtful Republican nomination acceptance speech last night that saw him as less of a brawler and more reflective on life and unity in the days following the assassination attempt that almost claimed his life... “None of us knows God’s plan, or where life’s adventure will take us. But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on Earth is a gift from God. We have to make the most of every day for the people and country we love,” he continued.

We must show the world through words and actions that Judeo-Christian values sanctify life. We don’t confuse right with wrong; good with bad; life with death... We must remind ourselves, as Moses reminded the children of Israel thousands of years ago in Deuteronomy 30:19, “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
