: Speaking to the faithful before reciting the midday Angelus prayer this week, Benedict XVI said the Gospel of this Second Sunday of Advent speaks of John the Baptist and calls on all Christians to choose, like him, a lifestyle characterized by sobriety, especially in preparation for Christmas. The Pope noted that the mission of John the Baptist was marked by the call to conversion in the certainty of the imminent coming of the Messiah. John invites us to inner change by recognizing our sins. The Pope said as we prepare for Christmas it is important that we find time for self contemplation and carry out an honest assessment of our lives enlightened by the light coming from Bethlehem.

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!
