Visiting Paul regularly, Luke writes down his reminiscences, intending to write

Did you see the story of the French police officer who exchanged himself for a female hostage in a terrorist incident last Friday? Sadly, he perished in the subsequent events. But who cannot but admire someone willingly risking his life for another? As Jesus said: “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) How great a love, then, for one risking his life for a stranger … admirable in the extreme. Courage, strength, personal honor—all valued as supreme virtues since Mankind has Read More

Fr. Glenn: ‘He Is Inconvenient To Us’

Did you see the news story about a nativity statue being returned to a church 90 years after it was stolen? Stealing from a church, and thus from God; THAT can’t end well!
