The greatest need for saints
October 3
"Today we have the greatest need of saints, for whom we must assiduously implore God."
-1985 Extraordinary Synod of Bishops
Just Because it Sounds Holy Doesn't Mean it Is
C5 writes: "I listen to Catholic Radio and have heard that partaking in acupuncture and other alternative therapies. I have been to a natural healing center and the practitioner uses muscle testing which she says uses acupuncture ideas about energy flow in my body. That our bodies can let us know what part of our body is being challenged and what it needs to get back into balance. She uses her technique as an assessment tool not as treatment. If what she says is true then it would have to be of our God because it is amazing and miraculous. What is 'bad' about this?"

"Mary took my weakness and gave me her strength; she took my fear and gave me her trust; she took my insecurity and gave me her confidence. And it all came by way of the Rosary."
- Johnnette Benkovic Williams

We must never doubt
September 29

~St. Francis de Sales
The light of the Holy Spirit
September 28
"After we have implored the light of the Holy Spirit, applied our thought to search for His good pleasure, taken counsel with our director and perhaps two or three other spiritual persons, we must come to a resolution and decision in the name of God."
~ St. Francis de Sales
