Leave it to Professor Ralph McInerny of the University of Notre Dame to put what happened into words. They are found here . His essay is nothing short of amazing...and prophetic. If the Obama invitation has stirred such passionately prayerful reaction from an heroic band of students, from alumni and Catholics across the country, and – mirabile dictu – from more than seventy bishops, it may prove to have been providential, an opportunity for Catholics to recognize that their house is indeed divided. Please read it in its entirety .

CNA >> Pro-lifers disrupt Obama speech, crowd silences them with 'Yes we can' CNA >> Bishop D’Arcy speaks at Notre Dame Via Media (Amy Wellborn) >> Obama's speech Via Media (Amy Wellborn) >> Obama at Notre Dame (analysis; this portion struck me: The bigger issue is Notre Dame and Catholic higher education. I was as distressed as anyone by the rock-star reception by Obama, just as I would if Bush or any other politician were greeted in such a way at a Catholic institution. We've had enough problems with sucking up to civic authority over the last few dozen centuries, haven't we? It was creepy in a "Justice Sunday" kind of way. To me at least .)

Z. has posted this prayer before as well. It is most definitely appropriate!)

I am always looking for religious items, especially scapulars that will hold up. I did a Google on Traditional Liturgical Calendars for another post and found this Order: Sisters of Carmel . The Sisters manufacture superb merchandise as shown in the Testimonials . They offer a broad range of religious supplies at a reasonable price. I always check out both the books offered and the religious medals and these are shown here. If you need items for First Communion or Confirmation, check out this site. The Sisters can always use your assistance and it is going for an excellent cause! With all the questions I receive on religious Orders, perhaps you might wish to inquire about vocations? BTW, the calendar I bought is awesome!
