Ever since the Fall in the Garden of Eden, we were born to die (Adam and Eve chose death for all their descendants). But because of Jesus’ Sacrifice, because we live A.D., death is no longer the same. The gates of heaven are opened to us (if we want to be with God), and so…”O death, where is your sting?”

I first met Sr. Margaret Joseph when I was a novice. We had many adventures together in our old-truck-camper-converted-into-bookmobile, with the Pauline Family emblem and Ephesians 3:10 emblazoned on the side.

A recent Facebook post about a Christian pastor is rather heartbreaking. The pastor’s son, who had always been a faithful Christian youth, suddenly told his father: “Faith is intellectually dishonest.” He had become an atheist.

On June 12, 2026, after a lengthy hiatus, Steven Spielberg will release his much-anticipated sci-fi movie entitled: “Disclosure Day” about extraterrestrial life making contact with Earth. The teaser shows a meteorologist (Emily Blunt) becoming possessed (yes, possessed) on air, and thus begins the dropping of the old UFO tropes.

The classic Christmas favourite, “The Bells of St. Mary’s,” is truly a slice of history. I’m an advocate of watching (quality) old movies to get a sense of the past and “the way we were.” Are older Hollywood depictions true to life? In some ways, yes. If priests and nuns in BOSM were portrayed in some totally unrealistic, overly idealized fashion, there would have been a contemporaneous outcry of “foul!” There wasn’t.

In theory, the idea of organ donations is laudable. In current practice, it is condemnable. The demand for organs is insatiable and highly profitable. Injured or ailing individuals and families are pressured mercilessly to not allow themselves or their loved ones the time or resources to heal, but to instantly give up and “be a hero” by choosing to donate their organs.

Do you remember the number one fear we had when the Digital Revolution began? I do. When we saw our beloved books, indispensable reference tomes, and vital paper documents migrating to online spaces.

Happy Month of the Holy Rosary! The Holy Rosary is the solution. To what, you ask? To whatever problem you might have. 

Anything media-wise can be faked today. Anything. We are living in a world of smoke and mirrors and deep deception like never before, because we have powerful tools of deception like never before.

Yes, I’m writing about Artificial Intelligence again. There’s so much to say and it just won’t go away.
