January 29, 2012I recently came across a flyer from the Archdiocesan Respect Life Apostolate which contained a list of symptoms for Post-Abortion Syndrome. I thought it would be good for me to share this list with you because I believe that all decisions have an effect on us for good or for bad and that it is important to understand the bad effects that choosing to have an abortion has for both men and women. The symptoms from the pamphlet are in bold.

January 22, 2012I really hope that you have found this month’s reflections worthwhile. In today’s reflection I wish to finish our look at our article about Steven Tyler’s experience of post-abortive syndrome from Kevin Burke’s article: “Rocker Steven Tyler of Aerosmith Haunted by Girlfriend’s Abortion.” Please remember quotes from the article are in bold and my commentary is in ordinary type. Then next week I will share with you some symptoms of post abortive syndrome.

January 1, 2012Over the last few years, I have been blessed by God to participate in the very important ministry of post-abortive healing in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. I have no problem admitting that this ministry has brought to me much joy as I see men and women, who have participated in abortions, find the healing love of God. In my prayer I feel like I am caught up in the scene of the loving Father welcoming his sinful child home (like the Father in the story of the Prodigal Son) for through God’s grace the sad moments and sins of the past have been transformed into a time of celebration. God’s love knows no boundaries and His mercy truly is without end.

December 4, 2011I have been trying for a while now to come up with one topic for the month of December. On the one hand I had a lot of topics that I wanted to write about but on the other hand, I knew that I could not stretch any of these topics into four columns. I have decided therefore to spend the month of December on four different topics instead of one theme as usual. The first topic I wish to write about is some reflections on an article called “Why Go On A ‘Honeymoon’?... and other fascinating wedding customs” by Victor Parachin. The article was published in the June issue of a magazine called The Priest. The Priest is published by Our Sunday Visitor.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday, through which we attain redemption.

Fr. Robert Barron created this groundbreaking program as a thematic presentation of what Catholics believe and why, so all adults can come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith. Not a video lecture, Church history or scripture study, this engaging and interesting formational program uses the art, architecture, literature, music and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the timeless teachings of the Church.
The CATHOLICISM Study Program presents the strong, ecclesial dimension of the Catholic Faith – God’s revelation through Jesus Christ and His Church.
In tying together art and culture, history and literature, beauty and truth, which is the wisdom - the timeless genius that CATHOLICISM is all about - he does it magnificently. And this is just what we need in the Catholic Church today. --Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan Archdiocese of New York
