There's Nothing Sinister About Those Faceless Willow Tree Sculptures

Posted on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 by Susan Brinkmann

DJV writes: "I received two Willow Tree Sculptures as gifts and am concerned that these may be New Age items. The description on the box of these sculptures reads "Willow Tree is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect,...May the simplicity of these figures communicate peace and serenity to you and those you love. Susan Lordi." These sculptures are mostly angels and are found in many stores including our Catholic Hospital. Please let me know if these are New Age items as I do do not want to own or purchase new age items."

Questions About the late Fr. John Powell, SJ

Posted on Monday, March 21, 2022 by Susan Brinkmann

CB writes: "I would appreciate if you could give me any information you have on the books by Fr. John Powell S.J. I see from the website that allegations of child abuse were made against him. I don't know if these have been proven. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, what about Anthony DeMello S.J. I know a lot of people who recommend his books, but I think he was into the New Age."

The arms of faith

Posted on Sunday, March 20, 2022 by Women of Grace Staff

March 20
"Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism."
-Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

Saint Joseph: Strength Born of Silence

Posted on Saturday, March 19, 2022 by Guest Blogger

by Theresa Cavicchio

Although each year it falls during Lent, the Solemnity of Saint Joseph on March 19th affords us an opportunity to celebrate. We remember the humble man chosen by God to fulfill two extraordinary life roles: husband to Mary, the Mother of God; and foster father to her Son, Jesus Christ. By reason of his exemplary fulfillment of these while here on earth, from heaven Saint Joseph assumes a third role, ongoing and continuing: patron for the faithful seeking his assistance.

Is Earth Hour New Age?

Posted on Friday, March 18, 2022 by Susan Brinkmann

PH writes: “I am writing  because I have connection to the Sisters of Mercy having Mother Francis Bridgeman as an ancestor. I have just watched your show with Susan Brinkman who has written the book series 'Learn to Discern' and when opening my e-mail from the Mercy Foundation was horrified to see the link for Earth Hour which seems very New Age. I am aware of the dissent in some Religious Orders and pray for conversion to true catholicity for all involved. May I have your comments about this Earth Hour link if you have time in your busy schedule?”
