The Missionaries Take Manhattan

You may meet a missionary walking the streets of Manhattan.  Don't be surprised; the Christmas Season – like Easter – brings these infectiously joyful folks out in public to proclaim the saving power of Christ, the Good News, and the mercy of Jesus that Pope Francis preaches of daily.

Walking out the door with camera in hand is already a decision to start telling a story even if one doesn't know how the story is going to end.

Regnum Christi in Rome Feeds 260 on First World Day of the Poor

"When we walk the streets of the city, we meet many who are impoverished," noted Fr. AndrĂ© LaSana, LC, who participated.  "We made contact with a few, but such encounters are brief. This encounter allowed me to live more time with these people, to put a face and a name to the reality of the poverty that in the street we usually see far away."

CD Shows the Daily Life of Legionary Seminarians

"These are songs that, by the very way they're written, draw you to think about the things of God, and to take a step back and see life on a different level. I hope that whoever listens makes this part of his day, so that he asks the Holy Spirit to come into his life in the Veni Creator and hearing the Mass songs, he is drawn into the Mass. I hope they fill him with the spiritual life."

The Cross and the Cell Phone

I kind of hate Instagram.  I like it in theory- a place where we can share images that communicate and share our lives, our hopes, our passions.  But I hate the twisted and vicious cross I've seen it become in my 15-year-old daughter's life.

Frankenstein vs. the Pope

Rather than looking for inspiration from fictional characters or space aliens, I look to Pope Francis.  He recently gave a talk on how we should face the challenges of technical advances in medicine.
