180 the movie

This is a documentary on the issue of abortion, and I recommend that you share with everyone you know. Though this is not a video for children, as there is an advisory for graphic content.

Explaination for the new Translation of the Roman Missal

My church has started a gradual change to the New Translation of the Mass. We have started the second week of the gradual change and just learned the new Gloria, which I think sounds beautiful, especially when its chanted. Anyway, our pastor encourage us to not only learn the new words but to understand why we are saying them. So after every Sunday we have been watching Understanding the New Translation of the Roman Missal they have defiantly been helping. They are full of a ton of information, which is a lot to take in at one siting, but I think I am understanding it better. So since I couldn't find that on YouTube, decided to put this explanation up instead. It's an EWTN live broadcast on the new translation hosted by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, with Colin Donovan as the guest.

Pope John Paul II to be Beatified on May 1st!

I have always been fond of the late Pope John Paul II and when I found this I just had to share the good news! I can't wait until May 1st!

             

     "Pope Benedict XVI has today promulgated a decree recognising a miracle took place at the intercession of the Ven. John Paul II. The beatification ceremony will take place May 1st in Rome, presided by Benedict XVI.
