Catholic Moments #117 – Sr. Mary Prudence Allen, R.S.M.

Lisa Hendey — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:59:23 +0000

Sr. Mary Prudence Allen, R.S.M. is a member of the Religious Sisters of Mercy in Alma, Michigan. This week, we discuss her participation in the writing of The Foundations of Religious Life: Revisiting the Vision. She holds a professorship in philosophy at St. John Theological Seminary in Denver, Colorado and is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Concordia University, Montreal.

Everyone loves surprises. But only Chesterton realizes Who first thought about surprising us. What will you do to surprise your family today? Enjoy this week’s Chesterton Moment with Nancy Brown for the American Chesterton Society.

What’s that? The Leaky Deke? What the heck is that about? Today, Deacon Tom combines Confession, a visit by the Bishop and the Holy Spirit to help solve one of Tom’s problems.

This week, Sarah Reinhard shares a reflection on making grape jelly and the Blessed Mother’s upcoming birthday.

Catholic Moments #104 – Halo Day

Lisa Hendey — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:30:03 +0000

This week, we feature three special books from Halo Publishing International and their wonderful authors. In I am a Vivor Leona Ashley writes about her daughter Abigail who has survived and flourished despite having her arm amputated in infancy. Crista Stewart wrote The Little Frog to help children understand to accept themselves and others just as God made them. Tina Schneider and Anna Discenzo and the students of The Montessori School at Holy Rosary collaborated on Remembering D. Remembering D is a poignant story of a young man named Demetrius Cameron-Lee Smith who made such a deep and permanent impression on so many hearts in his short lifetime that a book was written in his honor by his classmates and teacher. The bittersweet compilation of words, photographs and illustrations is dedicated to Demetrius, a brain cancer victim whose life was claimed at the tender age of twelve but who was an inspiration to all he met through his courage, zest for life and faith in God.

Deacon Tom Fox begins a month-long series on Marriage with a reflection entitled “When Matt met Leysa”. This month, Deacon Tom is sponsoring a month long contest – your chance to win one of four great Catholic marriage books. To enter, leave a comment here at SQPN.com on any of the June episodes of the Catholic Moments Podcast by June 30, 2009. Four winners will be randomly drawn to receive one book apiece.

Catholic Marriage Books being given away in June:

1. Good Marriages Don’t Just Happen, Thomas More Press
2. Fighting for Your Marriage, Jossey Bass Publishers
3. Good News about Sex and Marriage, autographed by Christopher West, Servant Publications
4. Marriage — How to Live Together and Like It, by Deacon Lewis Barbato, Barbato Book Publishers
