Nun-Profit Healthcare

St. Joseph Hospital in Arizona is no longer Catholic. The reason? The hospital and its parent organization, Catholic Healthcare West, refuse to acknowledge that the abortion that took place there was completely unjustifiable. But recent developments reveal a much darker story with far-reaching consequences.

The Gather Hymnal Makes Its Farewell Tour

From Creative Minority Report blog via Adam Bartlett. Thanks for the laugh!

"With the new Mass translations coming out this year, the "Gather" hymnal will sadly become obsolete. With that in mind, I composed a tribute medley to some of the best songs contained therein. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hymnal around when I was tracking this, so I did the best I could to remember the lyrics from memory. Enjoy!"

2nd Guessing Yourself

"After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the devil may try to make you have second thoughts.  Intensify your prayer time, meditation and good deeds for if Satan's temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to grow in holiness, he'll have an incentive to leave you alone."
--St. Ignatius of Loyola

(Thanks, Sheila, for this tender piece of wisdom)
