A Temple of the Holy Spirit

Daniel & Catherine ready for Confirmation I had the privilege of witnessing my son and daughter receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Tuesday at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Lancaster, OH. It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord. It caused me to reflect on this idea. Although I've mostly seen only pictures of the great cathedrals and basilicas in the world, I have seen some amazing churches even in our own diocese. These structures are a testament to the Church's love for God (read the entire Church - Militant, Suffering, Triumphant). They represent great skill, sacrifice, and passion for Our Lord and often times His Mother.  Yet the words of Christ always echo in my mind when contemplating the beauty that surrounds me in those places; “ Do you see these great buildings?

Catherine Contest

I am happy to report that Catherine is doing very well. She has had some very good days recently. The doctors are hoping to disconnect the suction tube that goes into her stomach and simply let it work by gravity. This would allow her to attempt to process some of that fluid out the other way...

Nicole had the idea that we could celebrate her progress by having a little contest/give-away. The prize would be a copy of my book Rosary Meditations for Real Life. The contest or challenge is for you to tell us what item is missing from this picture(above). I know that's pretty vague but it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you Catherine Junkies. So, if you think you know what is missing, send me an email - webmaster@realliferosary.com with your guess. Friday night we'll pick a name randomly from all (if any :-)) of the correct answers.
