St. Patrick

I'll be celebrating St. Patricks day today with a wee bit of guiness. 

Aunty Lena's Pub

St. Patrick was from Britain.  When he was a young teenager...he was captured by Irish raiders and sent to Ireland where he worked as a slave. He prayed everyday that he'd eventually be set free and be able to get back home. 5 years later he escaped and sailed back to Britain. After receiving an education he returned back to Ireland.... where he became an apostle to Ireland. He was credited to bringing Christianity there.

Then the Lord opened my mind and senses to the nature of my unbelief so that I may-however late-remember my sins and turn with all my heart to the Lord my God.  He turned His attention to my abject humility and took pity on my youth and ignorance.  He watched over me and protected me before I knew Him and before I was wise enough to distinguish between good and evil.  He strengthened and comforted me as a father consoles a son. 

~St. Patrick of Ireland

Suzanne Paterno

Back in October 2010 it was announced that a new Catholic Campus Ministry was being built at Penn State University.  The building has begun and it'll be named the Suzanne Pohland Paterno Catholic Student Faith Center.
  Suzanne Paterno wife of Joe Paterno is heading the effort. 

“In addition to my family, there are two areas of my life about which I am most passionate: my Catholic faith and Penn State University. I believe it is our sacred obligation and our social duty to properly educate our children. Education can never be simply the acquisition of intellectual knowledge. The needs of the soul must be addressed. True education is about faith and reason!” -Suzanne P. Paterno

What a blessing indeed!

If I Were Not Catholic

 

"If I Were Not A Catholic ..."

by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

.

"If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated. My reason for doing this would be, that if Christ is in any one of the churches of the world today, He must still be hated as He was when He was on earth in the flesh. If you would find Christ today, then find the Church that does not get along with the world. Look for the Church that is hated by the world as Christ was hated by the world. Look for the Church that is accused of being behind the times, as our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned. Look for the Church which men sneer at as socially inferior, as they sneered at Our Lord because He came from Nazareth. Look for the Church which is accused of having a devil, as Our Lord was accused of being possessed by Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils. Look for the Church which, in seasons of bigotry, men say must be destroyed in the name of God as men crucified Christ and thought they had done a service to God. Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth. Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusions of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly it is other worldly. since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself. But only that which is Divine can be infinitely hated and infinitely loved. Therefore the Church is Divine." Taken from Radio Replies, Vol. 1, p IX, Rumble & Carty, Tan Publishing
