Seattle Sleeps...

After three days of snow and now ice, the streets of Seattle are sparse with inhabitants and quiet with a thick blanket of winter cotton. I hear rain is on the way.....

Hello Sister,
Thank you so much for your testimony and witness to our Lord Jesus Christ. On February 25 when you are going to hear in my state NC. Will you be sharing your conversion story? I would like my daugther to hear it. She is 24 and living a live much like you had. She needs to be inspired and to hear that the way she is living is wrong from someone other than me. My heart is broken, and I pray for her all the time. Thank you again and God Bless you,
Angela

He thanked friends, family, fans and even foes whom he encountered in his 18 seasons in the NFL. He laughed, cried, reminisced and spoke with hope for the future.

Why Catholic Homeschooling and Monks Seek the Same Thing...

Below is another guest post by our fabulous SOLT Sister, Sr. Anne Marie Walsh. This post was originally featured on Seton Magazine.

Why Catholic Homeschool and Monks Seek the Same Thing It can be challenging to look at the world today and to remember the words of Scripture: “…where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more” (Rms. 5:20). We know the Gospel’s relevance is timeless. However, understanding the way in which it penetrates a specific period in time requires a creativity found only in the Holy Spirit, Who searches the hearts of men and applies the deep things of God within concrete historical situations. Pope Benedict XVI, meeting with representatives from the world of culture at the Collège des Bernardins, Paris, in 2008, addressed the threats to modern culture by drawing attention to the roots of Western Civilization. In particular, he considered monasticism and its development, noting that, “Amid the confusion of the times, in which nothing seemed permanent, they (the mo…
