The Catholic Church designates October as the Month of the Holy Rosary. During this month the faithful venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary especially under her title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and make special effort to honor the Holy Rosary with group recitations and rosary processions. St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Order of Preachers, is the saint to whom Our Lady famously appeared and gave the prayers of the Holy Rosary to assist him as a spiritual weapon in combating heresy and leading souls back to the one, true Catholic faith. ...

We hear today in both the First Reading and the Gospel about how the Spirit of the and His gifts are intended for everyone. Yes there are special anointings that go along with the ordination to the priesthood (celebrating the sacraments for example), but the Holy Spirit longs for all of us to use His gifts of prophesy and healing. Are you ready to experience more Holy Spirit anointing in your life? Come Holy Spirit, teach me to use the gifts you've given me. ... See MoreSee Less

Saturday Silly

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather’s lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.
Finally she spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”
“Oh,” she paused, “grandpa, did God make me too?”
“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago.”
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, “God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?” ... See MoreSee Less

Try this simple exercise of prayerful imagination. Place yourself in the center of the Twelve along the side of Jesus. In your mind's eye, face Jesus and watch Him embrace you. Do you feel the strength of His arms, the tenderness of His touch, the warmth of His hands? Do you feel the strength of His love? After the exercise, think about those in your life that need the embrace of Christ? How can you help them to receive that embrace? ... See MoreSee Less

Saturday Silly

A Catholic priest announces at church one day, "I will be in Rome next week. If any of you have a prayer, I will light a candle in Rome so that the prayer will come true."
A woman announces, "My husband and I have been married for several years, but have never borne any children. Can you light a candle so that we can have children?"
"I will do that," says the priest.
Five years later, the woman says to the priest, "Since you went to Rome and lit that candle, I have given birth to two pairs of twins and a set of triplets, and now I am pregnant with quadruplets!" She then gives the priest a plane ticket to Rome.
"You are too kind," says the priest. "You don't need to thank me."
"I'm not thanking you," says the woman. "I just want you to blow out that candle." ... See MoreSee Less

Last year, the Annual Catholic Survey made history. With over 135,000 responses, it gave Catholics a voice on a scale never seen before.

Three key takeaways from last year's survey:
1) Those who believe don't leave. That is those who believe in the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
2) Engaged Catholics read books. Those who are engaged want to continue to learn.
3) We still have work to do. Most active Catholics don't believe they can make a difference. But the truth is that God transforms the Church one person at a time.

The goal of this survey is to provide as many Catholics as possible an opportunity for their voice to be heard. Take the survey today at www.dynamiccatholic.com/… ... See MoreSee Less
