Fatima Comes to Boston

Just in time for the month of the Rosary

Posted by DariaSockey in Faith on Friday, October 07, 2011

Since October is the month of the Rosary, and October 13th is the anniversary of what I like to call The Day God proved His Existence to the World (aka the miracle of the sun), I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about my husband’s job.

Bill is the escort of the National Pilgrim Virgin of Our Lady of Fatima. This statue was given to the World Apostolate of Fatima (formerly known as the... READ MORE

Spend a Moment with Mary

New website helps you take a prayer break

Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, August 15, 2011

In my email this morning was a special gift for the occasion of the Assumption of Mary. In big letters, the email asked me, “Do you have one minute?” Today is a busy day, with the normal Monday schedule, Mass for the Feast of the Assumption, a dentist appointment for one teen, high school orientation and much more—but I decided I DID have one minute and clicked over to check out www.MarianMinute.org....

Feast of the Assumption

Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Monday, August 15, 2011

Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. In the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven. May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Background of the traditional blessing of herbs.
A super yummy rosemary bread recipe to try.

What do you see?

Is this a Marian Apparition, or a hoax?

Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Thursday, July 07, 2011

Over at his blog yesterday, the wonderful Patrick Madrid posted the following video and invited his readers to ponder what they see in it. I have to say that even before I watched the video, I assumed it was a hoax. For some sad reason, I am very hesitant when it comes to these types of things—but I also wonder if I would have felt the same had I been present at Lourdes, at Knock or at Fatima. How about you—do you find these potential apparitions believable, or like me are you predisposed to disbelieve?
