Just Because...

 
Yesterday I saw a very beautiful moment between a mother and her child. I watched a woman who was out walking and she was just beginning to show in her pregnancy.

As she was walking and getting some exercise, I watched her place her hands on her womb and connect with her little baby inside. I could see she was protecting her little baby and checking in with her little baby and this woman just radiated beauty. She was so beautiful.


So to all of you women out there who are pregnant or who have experienced the miracle of birth in your body and soul, I say, God bless you!

You are beautiful!

This was a great story. My wife and I had trouble conceiving a child and luckily we had our first child in 2006. Since that time, we've been unable to have another. It broke my heart this past week when my son said, I don't have a brother or sister.

I thank God every day for the gift of our Son and I realize just how precious life is.

Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011

It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home. The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b...
