Martyrs' shrine awaits miracle
From - timesunion.com:
The priests at Our Lady of Martyrs' Shrine in Auriesville are waiting for a miracle.
That's what it will take to get the blessed martyr herself, Kateri Tekakwitha, made a saint by the Vatican, say those who run the popular shrine that sits above the Mohawk River six miles west of Amsterdam.
If the Vatican hears of a sick person who prays to the martyr and is cured -- such a cure must be investigated by Vatican doctors to make sure medical science is not the reason -- the Pope might make her a saint, said the Rev. John Marzolf, a Jesuit priest who is director of the shrine.
I have made a retreat at Auriesville and visited the Shrine of Blessed Kateri many times while there. Amy and I also prayed at Blessed Kateri's tomb near Montreal several summer's ago. I encourage anyone in need of a miracle to ask for Blessed Kateri's intercession!

Donna Steichen Positively Reviews "Confusion in the Pews" by Cecilia Martin
The author sent me a copy of the book that Amy is currently reading.
From CruxNews.com: Confusion In the Pews
Confusion in the Pews concludes with an invaluable appendix describing the four constitutions of the Second Vatican Council as well as the Decree on Lay Apostolate (Apostolicam actuositem), and summarizing common misinterpretations employed by those who rely on lay ignorance to promote a subversive "spirit of Vatican II." Everyone engaged in the coming restoration of the Church will need to know the documents of Vatican II, just as they need to know the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Rumors Abound...
In the past few minutes, I've read that the Israelies are reporting the war will start on March 18th (given that one of the resolutions introduced by Britian had a March 17th deadline this hardly seems like news) and also that Osmama Bin Laden has been captured but news of his capture is being kept secret until either March 17 or 18th to coincide with the commencement of war with Iraq--this last tidbit is coming from the AP in Iran.

Sophia Press Releasing Fulton J. Sheen Wartime Prayerbook
From the Publisher John Barger:
Recently, a friend sent us his only copy of The Armor of God, a sixty-year-old, pocket-sized prayer book, its scuffed leather cover worn from hard use in rough circumstances.
Written for soldiers by Msgr. Fulton Sheen in the darkest moments of World War II, this small prayer book has been proven in combat and hallowed by the suffering, prayers, and sacrifices of thousands of Catholic fighting men and women on ships, submarines, and aircraft, in fortresses and foxholes, and even in hellish prisoner of war camps across Europe and the Pacific.
Peacetime led those soldiers and sailors to put aside this powerful wartime prayer book as they entered a world rendered more secure because of their sacrifices.
New enemies have shattered the security those good soldiers won sixty years ago. Terrorism now takes as its battlefield our homes, our schools, and our workplaces, threatening even those of us who are not in the military.
Duct tape may protect us from chemical and biological weapons, but it surely wont protect us from the corrosive, soul-destroying impact of fear, anger, uncertainty, and despair, which daily life on this battlefield is causing already.
Now is the time to draft The Armor of God back into Gods service.
We are publishing it April 1st as Fulton Sheens Wartime Prayer Book, in a pocket-sized leatherette edition similar to the original that you can carry with you in your car or on the subway, and that soldiers and sailors can carry in their uniforms as they face the enemy.
Prepublication orders are surging already and well fill them on a first-come, first-served basis, so place your order today so you wont be left empty-handed if war breaks out in Iraq or the first-printing runs out.
I might add that my Fulton Sheen book includes a special appendix on Sheen's teaching both on War and Peace including a forgotten teaching that views "war as punishment from God."
