January 17, 2017 - Feast of St. Anthony, Abbot (CA. 250 - 356)

Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDSThe mainstream media will be all over this Saturday’s “Women’s March” which is expected to bring thousands of women to Washington DC who intend to tell the new Trump Administration what women really want - but they don’t speak for me and here’s what I intend to do about it.

A living love hurts. Jesus, to prove His love for us, died on the Cross. The mother, to give to her child, has to suffer. If you really love one another properly, there must be sacrifice.
