I am sure most of you are aware of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI effective at the end of February.  St Celestine V also resigned as Pope and Pope Benedict made several visits to his tomb over the course of his papacy and once even left his pallum.  If Pope Benedict XVI has found in St Celestine V an example worthy of imitation, a heavenly friend and intercessor then we should look to him now as well.  That is why I am working on an Audiobook on the life of St Celestine V which can be found here the first chapter is already available here.  I will be uploading new chapters a few times a week until the Audiobook is complete.

May our Lord Jesus Christ, His Blessed Mother and St Celestine V grant you a happy and fruitful lent.

Save the Cross at Mt. Rubidoux


+IHS+
My Fathers, Brothers and Friends,
If you were not aware the Giant Cross on top of Mt. Rubidoux is in threat of being taken down. There is an article with more information here . This Cross is only about 10 minutes from my House out here and can be seen from Miles around, even from the Sky.

The Cross among other things was erected by the Archdiocese of LA and dedicated to Blessed Father Serra. Please help save the Cross that Honors God in a time where he is dishonored, that blesses the surrounding land and upon those that cast their eyes upon the cross with devotion; to take it down would be an insult to the Divine Majesty and surly provoke Gods wrath against us.

Here is a link to a few fliers Filer 1, Filer 2 with information to hand out, or if possible get them put up in your Churchs bulletin board. We need to apply as much public pressure to the Council as possible.

Please pray that the Holy Cross be preserved unchanged. The Council makes its decision Tuesday January 22, and also it would also be helpful if you could write a letter, e-mail or give a phone call to the City Council of Riverside asking them to keep the cross, all of their contact information is here

If you wish to attend the council meeting or workshop (I will probably be going to the workshop) the details are found here

Thank you for your help, and May God reward you!


In the Cross is health, in the Cross is life, in the Cross is protection from enemies, in the Cross is heavenly sweetness, in the Cross strength of mind, in the Cross joy of the spirit, in the Cross the height of virtue, in the Cross perfection of holiness. There is no health of the soul, no hope of eternal life, save in the Cross. Take up therefore, thy cross and follow Jesus and thou shalt go into eternal life. He went before thee bearing His Cross and died for thee upon the Cross, that thou also mayest bear thy cross and mayest love to be crucified upon it. For if thou be dead with Him, thou shalt also live with Him, and if thou be a partaker of His sufferings thou shalt be also of His glory. The Imitation of Christ

Alleluia Audio Books

One of my friends just recently took on a wonderful project to improve our Catholic spirituality. For every 1000 Catholic apologetics websites, there is probably only one website for spirituality. At times I feel like that should be an inverted statistic. So, I think this kind of apostolate is sorely needed in the world we live in today, not the least of which by this author. Thank you so much Noah, and I hope folks will find spiritual treasure in the current offerings of this site, as well as what is to come.

The website will be permanently linked on the menu to the right with all of the other wonderful blogs and websites out there.

God Bless all of you!
