There is a tough subject that has been being debated in American medical circles for well over a decade. That subject is palliative sedation for, “a patient who is suffering from a terminal illness and who is experiencing great pain. . . .” The wording is from a 1997 Supreme Court decision. The American Academy […]
Calvin is freed!
And, because of the Incarnation, Life, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord, we, too, have been ransomed. Christ’s coming to Earth began the victory march that eventually overthrew the gates of hell and won the victory over Satan.

Christmas Eve 2009
St. John Chrysostom’s Christmas Homily: BEHOLD a new and wondrous mystery. My ears resound to the Shepherd’s song, piping no soft melody, but chanting full forth a heavenly hymn. The Angels sing.
