Link to article about Arch Bishop Raymond Burke, former Arch Bishop of St. Louis, and now a high ranking Bishop in the Vatican. He is speaking out against the choice of Father Jenkins to have President Obama speak and be honored at the graduation ceremonies next week
Keep your prayers, especially the Rosary, going.

Strong Storms in SW Missouri
My thoughts and prayers for all those back home who endured Tornado weather Friday. I vividly remember to this date, a similar day in Springfield in the early 80's. Seeing debris flying over our house on Catalina Circle, and then later seeing the damage in Southern Hills, and especially near Battlefield Mall.
Here is a list of damage reports, provided by KY3 TV, to remind us the damage these storms can do.

Terrible Two's ???
My best friend asked me tonight if my son, Christopher, ever went through the terrible 2's. Christopher will be seven in August, and I remember how blessed I felt during his third year upon this earth.
I told her that he did not have anything even close to the terrible 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, and now 6's!!!!!
As anyone who knows me, knows... I truly believe that Christopher was a miracle baby, and I count my blessings and thank God for him each and every day!

The Eucharist
This week we are really blessed to have the readings from St. John's Gospel regarding the discourse of the Holy Eucharist. The Gospel readings beginning Monday, April 27, start with John 6, 22-29, and continue through the Gospel readings on Saturday with John 6, 60-69. Pope John Paul II said that the Eucharist is the Source and Summit of our faith.
We have been taught that the Eucharist is Truly the Body and Blood of Jesus. This was taught directly by Jesus to his apostles at the Last Supper, and other times. St. Justin, who died for the faith in about 155 A.D., as many have, wrote about how the early Church had faith that the Eucharist was the True Presence of our Lord. Reading what St. Justin talked and wrote about the Eucharist, and how it was celebrated, and "remembered" 2000 years ago, is amazing. The Mass of the early Church was, of course, very, very, close to the Mass today. I knew that, but reading St. Justin's thoughts really drove that home, yesterday!
God Bless
