Tears in my eyes

Apologia
It hits close to home - I cannot count the number of women I have listened to whose story is along these same lines. One hopes, one prays, one weeps for the lives destroyed even among the survivors.

Live from St Patrick's

This morning's homily
I saw much of this on EWTN, and thought to myself that here is a homilist who doesn't dumb down his homilies. I loved the varied references to architechture, literature, and I also loved the compassionate yet challenging tone.
On another note - does anyone know the name of the music for the opening hymn?

In today's bulletin

"The new frontiers reached in bioethics do not require us to choose between science and morality: rather, they oblige us to a moral use of science." Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, January 31, 2008

On some levels, Christians dropped the ball a few years ago by allowing those who practice the religion of secularism to define the language and the terms. They used a very successful tactic of creating a dichotomy between faith and reason. But faith is more than mere credulity, and reason is more than narrow and cold logic.

If science is the act of discovering how the world works, and the world was created by God, how can there truly be a dichotomy? It is mainly that we are like the blind men and the elephant, each of us seeing only our own small bit of the puzzle. "We see as through a glass, darkly".
