August the 9th is her anniversary! That's timely cos August 9 is also the United Nations Day for the Recognition of Indigenous Peoples. This is a good synchronisiation, acknowledging her Jewish heritage with such a day of recognition. I found out too that she read the Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila in one night and then her heart was transformed!

I am trying this game out this week with my youth group!

Let's not just sit back and watch as Satan and his murderous hordes rip apart morality and Christ's Church. Let's do what our enemy and his mob of followers hate most - let's pray. Pray for Dan Cathy, and those who follow Jesus' teachings. And let us remember that the gates of Satan's hell will never prevail.

This Video is So Relevant to My Life, Thank You So Much For Creating It....I forgot how much I ignored people.

Today is Chick-fil-A appreciation day!

This is one of many attacks on religious freedom, and freedom in general, in the U.S.A. Many, many more are happening from Obamacare.

Dear Charbel,

You make a very good point, the Church can never excuse this in any way. However I don't think that is the purpose of this video - this video is pointing out that abuse is widespread throughout society, and the media is turning a blind eye to other instances where abuse happens, and focussing only on the Catholic Church. It is not a problem for the Church alone. All institutions - including the Church - need to face up to this very serious crime.

As you said, one case of sex abuse is far too much. Thank goodness our leaders in the Catholic Church have very strict protocols now, and they are working with the Police to remove this crime from the Church and society. The Pope has suffered a lot hearing all these stories, and has extending his sorrow and sympathy to victims.

We have to also remember that the majority of priests are good, holy and decent people, and they cannot be marked with the same name as the criminals who have deceived us. Keep praying for our Priests!

As correctly stated, 'even though just one case of sex abuse is far too much' this video does nothing about putting a little perspective on the major perpetrators of sex abuse. Typical of the Catholic church's response to find statistics to provide the most typical of juvenile response, 'see that person does it too, it wasn't only me'.

This attitude is completely and utterly repulsive and repugnant and shows absolutely no remorse. It is an insult to the poor victims who's lives have been destroyed by the culture of silence, indifference and cover ups which defines the Catholic church.

I understand that even well meaning priests try and use these kind of statistics to put 'perspective' on the matter. I've even been to a talk by a priest on this very point. This entirely misses the point. Hiding behind numbers does nothing to restore confidence in a broken system. Only action of the most forceful kind will.

The church's hypocrisy wreaks. The church dares to preach so forcefully on the matter of homosexual acts as being disordered, or masturbating as a mortal sin, or how terrible a condom is. They cry foul on abortion crying crocodile tears over the murder of innocent children, but they do nothing when a priest destroys the life by abusing the innocent. The church drags its feet like a spoiled brat.

Yes I am harsh, extremely harsh, because priest are far too easy on themselves but heavy handed on their flock.

Leaving aside the 'hell-fire and damnation' homilies that older generations will recall, the history of the 20th Century is replete with violence, death and destruction which outstrips other periods of recorded history and, I posit, has a disturbing echo in the 21st Century. Where the 20th Century saw wholesale death and destruction on an international scale we see a creeping development of destructive lack of discipline and violence, both domestic and public, in so many societies today. The cheapness of life, highlighted in the massive levels of abortion, murder, mayhem and senseless violence reflects the current culture of death. Baron's comments are a timely reminder to reflect on our world and the need to consider the promise of the Good News.

We have added this to our Facebook Page and it looks great!

This is what we will be subjected to in the United States under Obamacare! The degradation & limitation of care has already started. We know it first hand from going through Amy's cancer treatments.

Ora et Labora,

Paul

Great video, it needed to be made, and while I agree it is a Catholic response...I think we can also agree that it is a Christian perspective :)

Really lovely and inspirational video! I was holding back tears at the end there! God bless you for sharing this with the world!

I am humbled by such holiness.

This is the face of Christ. It is a reminder of the pain and vulnerability present among us. We can pray for this brave soul but her story must call us to action.

This is serious stuff. We need to do all we can to reverse this trend & enlighten people to the truth.

Ora et Labora,

Paul

no vacations for mans of GOD.. great Pope , waiting the book:)

Here is an example of the result of broken families and a wayward society. What a dear girl to continue trying in the midst of such adversity. God love her.
