Medjugorje
Monthly Message for
March 25th
 Dear children! Also today I call you to fasting and renunciation. Little children, renounce that which hinders you from being closer to Jesus. In a special way I call you: Pray, because only through prayer will you be able to overcome your will and discover the will of God even in the smallest things. By your daily life, little children, you will become an example and witness that you live for Jesus or against Him and His will. Little children, I desire that you become apostles of love. By loving, little children, it will be recognized that you are mine. Thank you for having responded to my call.

"...he who finds his life, will lose it."
 That is the gist of what Father Stephen Valenta, OFM Conv. talks about today as he continues his short series on "Zero Resistance, Zero Ego Drive" in which he illustrates how we can submit our will and ego, thereby allowing God to mold us into the holy souls He desires. If we do that then we can cage our ego drive and grow in grace. To find out more, click on HEARTS TO HEART TALK

The 78 red-hat had been accused with overwhelming evidence of child molestation and asked by Pope John Paul II to resign all his duties in Austria. For more, click on Austrian Apology to read more.
 
Don't plan on taking Cardinal O'Connor out to the Ballgame!
Upset that the New York Yankees, owned by George Steinbrenner started their Good Friday game at 1 p.m. rather than deferring until after 3 p.m. or in the evening when most games are played, Cardinal John O'Connor  had no choice but to announce he will not patronize the ballparks this year because many major league teams were not sensitive to Christians and Jews who were observing both the Passion and Death of Jesus and Passover the same day.  Yet the cardinal was pleased Boston postponed their game until after three. The Yanks' opponent for Opening Day - the Cleveland Indians - were not happy either and filed a formal protest that schedule makers are more sensitive to all next time. The cardinal carries clout in the big apple and you can bet the Yanks and Mets, as well as Major League Baseball will listen to him and heed his advice. For more, click on Strike Three to read more.
