Cmdr. Quinteros and Fr. Corapi: Twins separated at birth? 

Earlier tonight, Husband Mike and I watched a rerun of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "11001001". When one of the guest characters, Commander Orfil Quinteros, strode onscreen, my first thought was, "OMG, it's Commander Father Corapi!"

Judge for yourself:

Congrats to the new Father Charles! 

Congratulations to and prayers for Father Charles (OFM Cap.) on his recent ordination to the priesthood!

Saint Faustina's Prayer For Holy Church and for Priests
O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church:
Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord.

Lord, give us holy priests; You Yourself maintain them in holiness.
O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests.
May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things.
I ask You, Jesus, for a special blessing and for light for the priests before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime.
Amen.

Good Easter homily ... 

... from Fr. Martin Fox!

Bonfire of the Vanities: Why should anyone believe you?
by Fr. Martin Fox, 08 April 2007

"As you know, there are those who cannot stand [the facts of Jesus' Life, Death, and Resurrection], and the Faith that rests on them. So, every few years, someone comes along, saying he can disprove the whole thing.

"Somebody finds a box of bones and says, 'It's Jesus!' " Read the full homily.

CFotD: Coolest. Monk. Ever. 

I wish I could remember just how I stumbled 'pon this blog, but I'm convinced that Fr. Stephanos is The Coolest Monk Ever.

I think I hurt something while reading his post on all the hoofin' poor Mary Magdalene did on Easter Sunday. (Caution: Set aside all food and beverages 'afore reading.)

God bless them Benedictines! :-D

Spiffy: Products promoting priestly support 

Ya know those ever-present ribbon-shaped car magnets that've popped up everywhere faster'n' dandelions? Well, Husband Mike and I think they're rather ridiculous, but this past Sunday we saw one that actually made us smile in appreciation. (Tho' we ain't buyin' it.)

As we made our way through our parish's parking lot 'afore Mass, we saw one car sporting this "Support Our Priests" ribbon magnet. Nice!
