Catholic Church

By Fr. Ed Broom, OMV, Catholic Exchange - One of the best analogies given in years past describing the Presence, Power and Perfection of the Holy Spirit is a sailboat... The Fathers of the Church offer us a symbolic interpretation of the Sailboat and Sails related to the working of the Holy Spirit and His Seven Gifts. The Sailboat is our soul. The shore is eternal life to which we all aspire and yearn! The uncertain and sometimes rough waters symbolize our struggles with the world, the flesh, and the devil that we must conquer with the help of God’s grace.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNS News - In a May 25 tweet, Bishop Joseph Strickland, head of the Diocese of Tyler, said, "The concern for Mrs Pelosi’s eternal salvation extends to the Diocese of Tyler. She is barred from Communion here until she repents & stops advocating the murder of children."... "Pray for her heart to be turned to God & away from the power of this world," the bishop added.

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing - Today is really the Solemnity of the Ascension.  I know that the canonists have dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s to transfer the celebration in most of America to next Sunday. But Jesus ascended to Heaven on the fortieth day of Easter, not the forty-third.
