Posts For Your Consideration

 

 

There are a few items on “Faith of the Fathers” blogs I’d like to call to your attention if you haven’t seen them  yet.

First, on Favorite Prayers and Scriptures there is “Feast of the Ascension of the Lord” from Father Leonard Goffine’s Devout Instructions.

There is several days’ coverage by the Vatican Information Service on Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic trip to Portugal, including his pilgrimage to Fatima.

Speaking of Fatima, in May of 2006 Marie wrote a good piece on Approved Apparitions about Our Lady of Fatima.

The Daily Mass Readings for Friday, May 14, Saturday, May 15, and Sunday, May 17 are all posted and ready for reading and reflection.

Saint Quote of the Day has some quotations from Saint John Vianney, Saint Epiphanius of Salamis (an Early Church Father), Saint Leopold Mandic, Saint Ignatius of  Laconi, and many more.

Meditations from Carmel

Meditations from Carmel is a site from The Order of Carmel Discalced Secular (OCDS), a community of lay Roman Catholics.

From their main page, you may scroll to the bottom of the page, where there are several links. OCDS gives you a history of the OCDS as well as a link to the OCDS community blog .

Click Carmel from the main page, and you will find History of Carmel, as well as information on many Carmelite Saints, including Saint John of the Cross, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Therese of Lisieux, and more. There are also devotional links there as well as links to Carmelite resources.

You will also find links to OCDS podcasts and an mp3 library of Meditations and readings from the writings of  several illustrious Carmelite saints, and mp3's of novenas as well.

They will be given a link in our sidebar as well as in this post.. and they are already listed in our blog roll  in the right hand sidebar.

Some Recommended Reading

Once again, I am going to post a few recommended items to read which have appeared on the different blogs of “Faith of the Fathers”.

First however, I want to recommend that you read an article by Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, entitled "Catholics and Bible Study: Ignorance of Scripture is NOT Catholic!” A post from Apologetics, "Why Don't Catholic Read the Bible?” , goes well with this.

 I’d also like to recommend two articles on The Blessed Virgin Mary, first on Our Lady, “Mary The Heart of A Mother” and on Approved Apparitions “Our Lady of Lourdes”.

From Spiritual Warfare you may want to read “The New Tower of Babel” and from Saints of the Faith, you can read a biography of the first United States citizen to be canonized, “Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini”.

Lastly, on The Early Church Fathers you can read about the saint who battled the heresy of Gnosticism “Saint Irenaeus of Lyons”.

For those visitors to our blogs who may be new, we have posts each day for Daily Mass Readings, and Saint Quote of the Day.
