"Once the diocese has enough trained teachers, [Bishop] Olmsted will become one of only three bishops in the country to require a full course of natural family planning for anyone who wants a church wedding, joining his counterparts in Denver and Fargo, N.D. Natural family planning is the only church-approved method of birth control." (Source)I'm all for the idea. I've met too many Catholics that either don't know the truth with the Church's position on contraception or either don't follow it. I think classes for married couples would be infinitely beneficial to the Church's mission - to sanctify the world.
Remember, artificial contraception is always a mortal sin. First, if you are not married then you shouldn't have sex - that's a sin. So, if you don't put yourself in that position you won't even be tempted to use artificial contraception. Second, married couples should always be open to the creation of life. If God's wills a child, then a child will be conceived.
The article claims, "... Nine out of 10 Catholic women have used it and that 65 percent of Catholics and 40 percent of priests do not believe use of contraception is always a sin. " I pray that is the wrong and will be just the opposite.
First off, thank you all so much that commented on my De-lurking post. It's so wonderful to hear that people love my blog. Thank you, all of you.My parish has devotions each weekday after the Tuesday morning Mass to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. So, I plan to post those prayers here each Tuesday. May we all grow in deeper holiness to Our Lord through His mother.
Image Source: Believed to be in the Public DomainThe Novena prayer:
Behold at thy feet, 0 Mother of Perpetual Help, a wretched sinner who has recourse to thee and confides in thee. 0 Mother of mercy, have pity on me.
I hear thee called by all the refuge and the hope of sinners: be then, my refuge and my hope. Assist me, for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to a miserable fallen creature who recommends himself to thee, and who devotes himself to thy service for ever.
I bless and thank Almighty God, who in His mercy has given me this confidence in thee, which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.
It is true that in the past I have miserably fallen into sin, because I had not recourse to thee. I know that, with thy help, I shall conquer.
I know. too, that thou wilt assist me, if I recommend myself to thee; but I fear that, in time of danger, I may neglect to call on thee, and thus lose my soul.
This grace, then, I ask of thee, and this I beg, with all the fervor of my soul, that in all the attacks of hell I may ever have recourse to thee. 0 Mary, help me. 0 Mother of Perpetual Help, never suffer me to lose my God.-----3 Hail Marys.

Baptism of Christ by Guido Reni, 1622
Second Class (1962 Calendar): January 13
"Our Lord was baptized because He wished, not to be cleansed, but to cleanse the waters, that, being purified by the flesh of Christ that knew no sin, they might have the virtue of baptism" (St. Ambrose).
"Our Lord was baptized because He wished, not to be cleansed, but to cleanse the waters, that, being purified by the flesh of Christ that knew no sin, they might have the virtue of baptism" (St. Ambrose).
Baptism is such a beautiful gift since it is through baptism that we receive sanctifying grace and are literally part of the Body of Christ. Baptism is the first step to eternal life. Why do Catholics baptize their children quickly after their birth? Because Baptism is the start of eternal life. Those that reject baptism will reject eternal life. We become members of the Church, and the stains of all sins are washed away through the Sacrament of Baptism. To read much more on Baptism, see my post: The Sacrament of Baptism.
In the pre-1955 calendar, January 13th was known as the Octave Day of the Epiphany. Many of the Rites in the Church had special antiphons and prayers today in the Office regarding our Lord's Baptism, since the Baptism of Christ is one of the three manifestations included in our Lord's epiphany (i.e. His manifestation to the world). But the Octave Day was never liturgically known as the "Commemoration of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ." That change in name occurred after the 1955 changes that saw the Octave of the Epiphany abolished.

Meditation on the Baptism of Christ from Christ in His Mysteries by Dom Columba Marmion
And Jesus being baptized, forth with came out of the water; and lo, the heavens were opened to Him and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon Him. And behold a voice from heaven saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased."
Jesus stoops so low as to mingle with the multitude of sinners, and forthwith the heavens are opened to magnify Him — He acknowledges Himself worthy of the strokes of divine justice, and behold, the Father declares that He takes all His delight in Him: Humiliavit semetipsom... propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum.
It is at this moment that the mission of Jesus, as One sent by God, is declared authentic. The Father's testimony accredits, so to speak, His Son before the world, and hence this testimony relates to one of the characters of Christ's work as regards ourselves.
The mission of Jesus has a double aspect: it bears at the same time the character of redemption and of sanctification. It is to redeem souls, and, this done, to infuse life into them. That is the whole work of the Savior.
Collect:
O God, Whose only-begotten Son hath appeared in the substance of our flesh: grant, we beseech Thee, that by Him, in Whom outwardly we recognize our likeness, we may deserve to be inwardly created anew: Who with Thee liveth and reignth.

Let us not forget to pray for those who have gone before us to Our Father's House in Glory. May they rest in peace.Prayer For The Departed
By Saint Alphonsus Mary de Liguori
MY GOD! I recommend to Thee the souls of my relations, my benefactors, my friends and my enemies, and of those who are in Purgatory on my account. I recommend to Thee the souls of evangelical labourers, of Religious and priests, and especially of those who had charge of my soul. I recommend to Thee the souls of those who were most devout to the passion of Our Lord, to the Blessed Sacrament, to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the souls who are most abandoned, those who suffer most, and those who are nearest to the entrance into paradise. Amen

Pope John Paul ll's Assailant will soon be set free, as early as tomorrow! The Turkish courts ruled he had completed his sentenced.
Updated: His assailant has been re-arrested and will remain in prison until January 18, 2010.
The Holy See's response: “The Holy See has learned only from news agencies of the news of the possible freedom of Ali Agca,” [A Vatican Spokesman] said in a brief statement. “The Holy See, before a problem of a judicial nature, submits to the decisions of the tribunals involved in this matter.” (Read MSNBC for more information)
Opinion: I certainly hope he is a changed man. But, as John Paul ll showed us, we all must forgive. As pope, he forgave this man for his offense, and I say that we should also forgive. May God forgive Him and lead Him to perfect unity in Christ.

Today we celebrate the arrival of wisemen bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The gold for the King of Kings, Frankincense symbolic of the divinity of Christ, and myrrh, a perfume used in burial. For Jesus Christ came for one thing - to die for us.
But, who didn't show up in Bethlehem? That's the question we should ask ourselves. For a star even appeared in the sky. And, what is a star? It's a symbol, a symbol not owned by any one nation but set above the world. It symbols Jesus Christ "The Light of the Whole World".
1) While thinking about the star we realize the first people to have Christ's Incarnation pass them by were the astrologers. These people use horoscopes and the stars to judge who they are and their "destiny". They claim to "master" the skies, but when the sign of the whole world appeared they did not know Him. They were oblivious to Christ; let us not be so involved with false gods of money or fame that we forget the only Truth. Remember, it was those astrologers, believers in the occult, that fell for the devil's temptations. They did not know Christ. Let us not be as they were.
2) King Herod. We read in scripture that he called the Magi to him so they could find Christ, so that he too might adore Christ. But, behold, we have a liar! King Herod did nothing of the such. He felt competition from Christ; He was scared of the Child. For Christ Our Lord was competition to His sinfulness and His kingdom.
But don't think King Herod's likeness is dead! Remember, that after the Wisemen left Bethlehem they didn't return to Herod. King Herod knew he was betrayed so he sent out an order - all male children under 2 were to be murdered. And, what did the people do? They followed his order. He claimed to be in charge, doing the right thing and he murdered the children. But, did most of the people stand against him and his sinfulness? No, just as today few stand up against Planned Parenthood and abortion industry. For those that practice, support, or advise abortions are not with Christ. Those people are as King Herod who refuse to humble themselves; they are lost sheep. They are not next to the crib in Bethlehem for they do not know Him. Let us remember that our mission is to convert them so that they might see the Glory of Christ.
3) And, finally, it was the people of Judea who didn't come to adore Our Lord. Why? O, they could always be with Him spiritually in their homes, right? They don't have to go anywhere, God is with them.
But, while God is certainly with us everywhere, He was truly present in Bethlehem. He was truly there (Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity). That is a far different presence than He would have had in their homes. But, they didn't come. And today we see so many people that believe they can stay at home and believe. They can just pray at home; they don't have to actually go and worship His true presence. But, what a deception. In our world today, Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. He is really there like He was in Bethlehem. In this world there is no closer moment to Christ than adoring the Holy Eucharist. For the Eucharist is our joy and hope. Let us not be as the people of Judea and keep going on with our lives. For He is Risen! We know that He is truly there! Let us follow in praise and adoration and thanksgiving.
O God, Who on this day didst manifest Thine only-begotten Son to the Gentiles by the guidance of a star: graciously grant, that we, who know Thee now by faith, may be led even to contemplate the beauty of Thy Majesty. Through the same our Lord.Prayer Source: 1962 Roman Catholic Daily Missal

Thank you everyone that prayed for me today. My speeches went excellent. My first speech was on embryonic stem cell research, where I defended the Church's position. My second speech today was something I made recently on the Avian Bird Flu. I talked about means to prevent a possible outbreak and how we can help.
I hope to post some of my research on this blog soon for others to read, but right now it is all just hand-written. I'll have to wait for extra time to get around to that.
Thanks for all the prayers. They truly helped.

I'm asking for prayers for two things:
First, for the family of the miners that they might be comforted by God. It was so horrible for them hearing that their loved ones were okay to have the joy snatched out of her hands. Please pray for them.
Second, I'm giving my speeches again tomorrow. One is a speech on stem cells and I'm hoping to do well. Please pray for me.
God Bless

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany, the day the three wisemen came to the Child Christ in Bethlehem. For it was the wisemen - Caspar, Balthasar, and Melchior- that fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy's in Isaiah 60:1-6. Remember, Christmas season is not yet over! In many countries, today is the day gifts are exchanged in families as it was today that the three wisemen brought the gifts to the Child Christ.But above all, as the Crossroad Initiatives states, it is Jesus that is the important one today. For today was the foreshadowing of the acceptance in Christ for all people. Remember that it was Jesus' own people that would not recognize him as God, rather it was the sinners who knew Him! Today we recall everyone single person in this world is called to Christ. For He died for everyone not just those who knew Him then. " The Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Jesus Christ through the gospel." (Ephesians 3, 5-6) Jesus is who matters!
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child.
When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way (Matthew 2:1-12)
In this the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled:
"Rise up in splendor! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; But upon you the LORD shines, and over you appears his glory. Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you:
Your sons come from afar, and your daughters in the arms of their nurses. Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, For the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; All from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the LORD" (Isaiah 60:1-6)Let the star guide you as well! May all of our lives by guided by Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, who dispels all darkness. And let us be as the wisemen were from the East, and offer our abilities to Christ Our Lord.
For Our God, the King of all Creation, humbled Himself and became totally human. He became vulnerable for us! He lay in that manager in the cold of night in rags for us! For this is the love of Christ, that he willingly gave up His life for you!
What would you do if a man where to take your place for death? If that man was tortured, beaten, mocked, and murdered for you, how would you fell? Would you grieve? Would you remember Him? For that was Christ, yet He is Risen! Let us not just believe but follow. For faith and works are essential! "For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so is faith without deeds" (James 2:26).

"In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).Image Source: Believed to be in the Public Domain
A man has filed a lawsuit in Italy against the Catholic Church saying that it is continually spread lies by teaching that Jesus Christ existed!
This clearly misguided plaintiff, Luigi Cascioli, said, "I started this lawsuit because I wanted to deal the final blow against the Church, the bearer of obscurantism and regression."
Oh, Lord, how horrible this man is. May he be brought to the truth if it be in your will. Let us pray that his case will fail miserably. And let us be thankful we have Christ in the Church, the sacraments, the liturgy of the Word, and in our hearts. For we fell Him within us; let us praise Him and pray in reparation for those that do not believe:
O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those that most need your divine mercy. Amen

Memorial (1969 Calendar): January 5
January 5th is the feastday of St. John Nepomucene Neumann (1811-1860), a bishop from the United States who did much missionary work and preaching. He is not found on the traditional Catholic calendar as we as only canonized in 1977. But his life is still one of great merits. He took the Great Commission seriously and went out to preach the Gospel.
Born on March 28, 1811, at Prachititz, Bohemia (Czech Republic), St. John Neumann lived as a quiet boy along with his four sisters and a brother. He was named after Saint John Nepomucene. Called to the religious life, St. John Neumann studied as a seminarian at Budweis, Bohemia, and he studied Theology at Charles Ferdinand University at Prague in 1833. Coincidentally, the date of St. John Neumann's ordination was pushed aside as the Bishop became ill. Since Bohemia had an abundance of priests, the ordination was not rescheduled. St. John Neumann walked most of the way through France and boarded a ship to America where he hoped to be ordained.
In 1836, there were 36 priests for the 200,000 Catholics in New York and New Jersey. Consequently, when St. John Neumann arrived that year, he was wholeheartedly welcomed by Bishop John Dubois. Ordained finally on June 28, 1936, St. John Neumann chose to work in an area with a small, unfinished church. When it was completed, he moved to a town with a small log cabin. He ate and drank very little, practiced penance, and continued to minister to the various ethnicities. St. John Neumann spoke 12 languages.
In 1840, St. John Neumann joined the Redemptorists at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and took his vows at Baltimore, Maryland in 1841. He was the first Redemptorist to do so in the United States. In 1852, he became Bishop of Philadelphia. Over the course of his life, St. John Neumann Built fifty churches and began building a cathedral along with opening nearly 100 schools. He wrote newspaper articles, two catechisms, and many works in German. St. John Neumann died on January 5, 1860, of a stroke at 13th and Vine Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,. He was canonized by Paul VI in 1977.
He is the first American man and the first American bishop to be canonized. His body is today at the National Shrine of St. John Neumann in Philadelphia.

Listen to a 5-minute sermon on St. John Neumann.
O Saint John Neumann, your ardent desire of bringing all souls to Christ impelled you to leave home and country; teach us to live worthily in the spirit of our Baptism which makes us all children of the one Heavenly Father and brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, the first-born of the family of God.
Obtain for us that complete dedication in the service of the needy, the weak, the afflicted and the abandoned which so characterized your life. Help us to walk perseveringly in the difficult and, at times, painful paths of duty, strengthened by the Body and Blood of our Redeemer and under the watchful protection of Mary our Mother.
May death still find us on the sure road to our Father's House with the light of living Faith in our hearts. Amen.

A reader asked me to post this again, so here is a prayer to venerate any saint. With so many of my readers getting special Saints for the Year, I wanted to post a prayer that anyone of you can say.
ETERNAL Father, I wish to honor St. (Name), and I give You thanks for all the graces You have bestowed upon him (her). I ask You to please increase grace in my soul through the merits of this saint, and I commit the end of my life to him (her) by this special prayer, so that by virtue of Your goodness and promise, St. (Name) might be my advocate and provide whatever is needed at that hour. Amen.
PROMISE: "When you wish to honor any particular saint and give Me thanks for all the graces I have bestowed on that saint, I increase grace in your soul through the merits of that saint. When you commit the end of your life to any of the saints by special prayers, I appoint those saints to be your advocates and to provide whatever you need at that hour."-Our Lord to St. Gertrude
From the book: Prayers and Heavenly Promises, Compiled from Approved Sources, by Joan Carroll Cruz.
NOTE: Catholics Don't "worship" saints; we simply honor them for their great lives for Our One Lord, Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus allowed the Disciples to assist at the Miracle of the Loaves, so Our Lord allows the saints to help us.
