On Friday Pope Francis delivered a ringing endorsement of the power of humor by hosting more than a hundred comedians at the Vatican, an experience most described as delightful if also a bit “bizarre.”

There are few sights as potent or emotional as Pentecost at the Pantheon.
In an ancient tradition revived annually since 1995, the rain of rose petals poignantly evokes the descent of the Holy Spirit, and the blood shed by Christ for our redemption!

Practical ways to honour the Holy Name in your day-to-day life:
1. Bow your head every time you say or hear said the Holy Name of Jesus;
2. Say a Glory Be or 'Blessed be God' at every blasphemy you hear;
3. Say often the sweet Name of Our Saviour with piety and devotion

Alma Redemptóris Mater, quæ pérvia cæli
Porta manes, et stella maris, succúrre cadénti,
Súrgere qui curat pópulo: tu quæ genuísti,
Natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem
Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatórum miserére

According to a survey conducted by the Catholic Project, around 85 percent of the newly ordained Catholic priests in the US consider themselves as conservative/orthodox or very conservative/orthodox on theological issues.
The future belongs us who love the Church teachings and the ancient liturgy!

Learn the story of Ivan Meštrović’s Pieta in @IrishRoverND. Even for those at Notre Dame, few realize that this magnificent work of art is housed in the Sacred Heart Basilica, right on campus.
