The Hunger Games

I just saw the Hunger Games today. It's a very interesting but horrifying social commentary.

Here is Fr. Barron's take on it:

Thought Father would mention that we already have our human sacrifices in the 50+ million unborn we aborted the past 40 years. The "advanced" society we are in began in 1973. Thanks Sister Miriam! Happy Good Friday and Easter!

Oh I'm sorry! I must have accidentally switched it to readers only; it's fixed now though.

Hi Sister, I was one of the girls on the True Beauty Revealed retreat last weekend at Miracle Ranch (my names Emily, I'm sure its hard to remember specific people since there were so many there though!), and I was wondering if you had read this Christian romance novel Redeeming Love. I think its an amazing, beautiful book, and I wanted to know if you had read it or would, and what you thought of it. I hope if you get the time eventually you could read it and share your thoughts in a post on your blog here or something!

Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011

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...
