Moving On?

By -

 

 

 

I was listening to a current United States Senator talking about the January 6, 2021 attack on our Capitol in Washington, D.C.

She said that her "constituents have moved on" and don't think about it anymore, so, she has also.

Is that true?  Have we just moved on from that domestic attack that killed and injured a number of people and attempted to prevent our vote from counting?

I sure hope not.

In fact, I think it is good to look at it again, in hindsight, especially in this election year.  Not to stir up hatred and division, but as a reminder to us of just how important our election process and the "peaceful transfer of power" is to our country.

So, no matter who you support(ed) for President, I ask you to please watch this video of the Select Committee.  The Committee reported, in detail, everything that took place, not only on January 6th, but leading up to it. It's really a historical, factual account.

If you think you know what happened, you actually don't. You will be surprised, guaranteed.

The link I am sharing is the last hearing that summarizes all of the information that they accumulated over several hearings. It includes personal testimonies, recordings and documentation. Most shocking are some of the videos they share that we have not seen before. 

You will find out who was talking (and messaging) who. What was happening in real time. It gives us insight into the leaders of our country and puts us inside operations of our government.

Their work remains relevant to us moving forward.

Since it is quite long, you may want to break it up, but of course you can watch all of the hearings leading up to this one as well, if you prefer!

Here's the link.  Please take the time to watch it and share it, with others:

One caveat:  Please do not make any comments until you have watched this, and then, please, do not unleash your anger and divisive emotions here.  

I am simply sharing it in the hope that you will find it informative and helpful.

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -

This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem

'Greater Love: Richie Fernando SJ', a joy-filled Filipino missionary

 I haven't been able to post for more than a week as I was giving an eight-day directed retreat to eight sisters of the Missionaries of Charity near Manila. While I had some access to the internet it was rather slow. I had intended to make a post here on the murder of Fr Fausto Tentorio PIME , a 59-year-old Italian priest, in the Diocese of Kidapawan, Mindanao, on Monday 17 October. I will save that post for a later date. As I was looking for a video about Father Fausto I came across one about Brother Richard Michael 'Richie' Fernando SJ, a Filipino Jesuit scholastic who died while trying to prevent a troubled and disabled young man in Cambodia from throwing a grenade. That was in 1996 - on 17 October. Father Fausto gave his life exactly 15 years later. I remember the mixture of sorrow and pride I felt when I read of the death of Brother Richie, pride as a missionary in the Philippines that a young Filipino seminarian had given his life so spontaneously in order to sav

Why Modesty Is Not Subjective

Hi there, ya'll!  The modest fashion world is one very diverse place.  Even among Catholics, the definition of "modest apparel" can vary greatly from person to person.  Recently I joined a Facebook group that advertised itself as a haven for Catholic women of all ages to share ideas for modest style and makeup and was hoping to learn more about modesty from my fellow Catholic sisters.  After a few days of being a member, though, I sadly left the group feeling a bit discouraged.  No two members seemed to agree on ANY aspect of modesty whatsoever, and the prevailing theme of the whole group was that modesty is subjective, it means something different for each woman and each woman gets to decide what she considers is "modest".  One woman very emphatically declared that she wears bikinis every summer to the beach and doesn't feel that this violates the virtue of modesty in the least.  The same woman also announced that she was never going to caution her d
